•MAX temperature display
•Laser targeting
•Backlit display
The Fluke 63 thermometer makes troubleshooting quick
and easy. The single dot laser sighting system guides measure-
ments to the right target and in less than a second, the large

atures. The locking trigger and tripod mount capability allow
for continuous temperature monitoring.
Optical resolution
The single dot laser sighting system guides measurements to
the right target and indicates the approximate center of the
measurement area.
