The Fluke 62MAX CAL Infrared Thermometer is a non-contact thermometer designed to measure the surface temperature of objects from a distance. It’s known for its durability, accuracy, and ease of use, making it a popular choice in various industries and household applications.
Here’s a breakdown of the Fluke 62MAX CAL Infrared Thermometer:
Key Features:
- Non-contact measurement: Measures temperature without physically touching the object, ensuring safety and reducing the risk of contamination.
- Accuracy: Delivers accurate temperature readings within a specified range (refer to manufacturer’s specifications).
- Laser targeting: Dual lasers help you pinpoint the exact area you’re measuring.
- Distance to spot ratio: Maintains measurement accuracy even from a distance.
- Rugged design: Built to withstand tough environments, including drops and dust/water exposure (refer to IP rating).
- Large, backlit display: Makes readings easy to see in low-light conditions.
- Min/Max/Avg/Dif: Allows you to view minimum, maximum, average, and difference in temperature readings.
- Calibration certificate: This specific model (CAL) comes with a calibration certificate for assured accuracy.
Applications:
- Electrical and mechanical maintenance: Identifying hot spots in electrical panels, motors, bearings, etc.
- HVAC/R applications: Checking duct leakage, supply/return air temperature, etc.
- Building inspections: Identifying potential insulation issues or moisture problems.
- Food safety: Monitoring food temperatures during storage and preparation.
- Industrial processes: Monitoring temperatures in various production stages.
- Home applications: Measuring appliance temperatures, checking for drafts, etc.
Things to Consider:
- Temperature range: Ensure the thermometer’s range covers the temperatures you need to measure.
- Distance to spot ratio: Higher ratios allow for more accurate readings from farther distances.
- Response time: How quickly the thermometer displays temperature changes.
- Emissivity adjustment: Some materials require emissivity adjustment for accurate readings. Check the manual for details.
- Calibration: Regularly calibrate the thermometer to maintain accuracy (especially important for the CAL model).
Alternatives:
- Other Fluke infrared thermometers (non-calibrated models)
- Non-contact thermometers from other brands
