Fluke 62 MAX User manual

62 MAX/62 MAX +
Infrared Thermometer
Users Manual

Introduction
The Fluke 62 MAX and 62 MAX + Infrared Thermometers (the Product) can determine the
surface temperature by measuring the amount of infrared energy radiated by the target’s
surface. Note that the Japanese models indicate Celsius only.
WWarning
Read all safety information before you use the Product.

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.
Table 1 tells you about symbols used on the Product and in this manual.
*WWarning
To prevent eye damage and personal injury:
•Read all safety Information before you use the Product.
•Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.

Product can be compromised.
•Before you use the Product, inspect the case. Do not use the Product if it
appears damaged. Look for cracks or missing plastic.

Infrared Thermometer
Safety Information
•See emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects
result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects
pose a burn hazard.
•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.
•Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows to prevent
incorrect measurements.
•Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
environments.
•Use the Product only as specified or hazardous laser radiation exposure
can occur.
