Introduction
The Fluke 562/563 Infrared Thermometers (the Product) are for
non-contact temperature measurement. The Product determines
the surface temperature of an object by measuring the amount
of infrared energy radiated by the object surface. The Product
also uses a K-type thermocouple for contact temperature
measurement.

Safety Information
A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are
dangerous to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and
procedures that can cause damage to the Product or the
equipment under test.
Figure 1 shows the safety label of the Product. Symbols used on
the Product and in this manual are explained in Table 1.
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, eye
damage, and personal injury:
•Read all safety information before you use
the Product.
•Do not look directly into the laser with optical
tools (for example, binoculars, telescopes,
microscopes). Optical tools can focus the
laser and be dangerous to the eye.
•Do not look into the laser. Do not point laser
directly at persons or animals or indirectly off
reflective surfaces.
•Do not use laser viewing glasses as laser
protection glasses. Laser viewing glasses are
used only for better visibility of the laser in
bright light.
•Do not open the Product. The laser beam is
dangerous to eyes.
•Have the Product repaired only through an
approved technical site.

•Replace the batteries when the low battery
indicator shows to prevent incorrect
measurements.
•The battery door must be closed and locked
before you operate the Product.
•Do not use the Product if it operates
incorrectly.
•Do not use the Product around explosive gas,
vapor, or in damp or wet environments.
•Do not connect the optional external probe to
live electrical circuits.
•See emissivity information for actual
temperatures. Reflective objects result in
lower than actual temperature measurements.
These objects pose a burn hazard.
•Do not leave the thermometer on or near
objects of high temperature.
•Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous
laser radiation exposure.
•Use the Product only as specified, or the
protection supplied by the Product can be
compromised.

Caution
To avoid damage to the Product or the equipment
under test, protect them from:
•EMF (electro-magnetic fields) from arc
welders, induction heaters, etc.
•Static electricity
•Thermal shock (caused by large or abrupt
ambient temperature changes. For highest
accuracy, allow 30 minutes for Thermometer
to become stable before use).
