Fluke 59 MAX+ IR Thermometer UAE | 10:1, 500 °C

Q: What is the temperature range of the Fluke 59 MAX+?

It measures from -30 °C to 500 °C (-22 °F to 932 °F). At 0 °C and above, accuracy is ±1.5 °C or ±1.5% of reading, whichever is greater.

Q: What is the difference between the Fluke 59 MAX+ and 62 MAX+?

The 59 MAX+ has a 10:1 distance-to-spot ratio, a single laser, a 500 °C maximum, IP40 and a 1 m drop rating. The 62 MAX+ has 12:1 optics, dual lasers, a 650 °C maximum, IP54 and a 3 m drop rating.

Q: What is the difference between the 59 MAX and 59 MAX+?

Fluke lists the 59 MAX with an 8:1 distance-to-spot ratio. The 59 MAX+ improves this to 10:1, so you can measure smaller targets from the same distance.

Q: Can I change the emissivity?

Yes. Emissivity is adjustable from 0.10 to 1.00.

Q: How long does the battery last?

It runs on one AA battery for about 12 hours with the laser and backlight on.

Q: Is the 59 MAX+ waterproof?

No. It is rated IP40, which gives protection against solid objects but not water. For wet or dusty sites, choose the IP54-rated Fluke 62 MAX or 62 MAX+.

Tips for Accurate Readings

With 10:1 optics, the spot is about one tenth of the distance. At 1 m it is about 10 cm wide, so move closer to small targets. Set the emissivity for the surface and avoid shiny bare metal. Learn more in our guide to contact vs non-contact thermometers and our Fluke 568 vs 561 comparison.
