Fluke 62 MAX+ IR Thermometer UAE | 12:1, 650 °C

Q: What is the temperature range of the Fluke 62 MAX+?

It measures from -30 °C to 650 °C (-22 °F to 1202 °F), with ±1.0 °C or ±1.0% of reading accuracy at 0 °C and above.

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

The 62 MAX+ measures up to 650 °C with a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio and dual lasers. The 62 MAX goes up to 500 °C with a 10:1 ratio and a single laser. Both are IP54 rated and 3 m drop tested.

Q: What does the 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio mean?

At 12 cm from the target the instrument measures a spot of about 1 cm. At 1.2 m the spot is about 10 cm. Keep the target larger than the spot for an accurate reading.

Q: Can I adjust the emissivity on the 62 MAX+?

Yes. Emissivity is adjustable from 0.10 to 1.00, so you can correct readings on painted, oxidised or other surfaces. Shiny bare metal still reads poorly with any IR thermometer, so add tape or paint, or use a contact probe.

Q: Is the Fluke 62 MAX+ suitable for outdoor and industrial sites?

Yes. It is rated IP54 for dust and water spray and is drop tested to 3 m. Its operating range is 0 °C to 50 °C.

Q: What battery does it use and how long does it last?

It uses one standard AA battery and runs for about 8 hours with the laser and backlight on.

Q: What warranty does Fluke give on the 62 MAX+?

Fluke specifies a 3-year warranty for the 62 MAX+.

Description

Fluke 62 MAX+ Infrared Thermometer Overview

The Fluke 62 MAX+ is a rugged handheld infrared thermometer for electricians, HVAC technicians and maintenance teams. It takes non-contact readings from -30 °C to 650 °C, has a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio and uses dual lasers to show the edges of the measurement spot. You can check transformers, motors, pumps, panels, breakers, compressors, ducts, steam lines, valves and vents without touching them.

It is drop tested to 3 m and rated IP54 against dust and water spray, so it suits plant rooms, rooftop units and outdoor substations.

Fluke 62 MAX+ vs 62 MAX vs 59 MAX+

Fluke IR thermometer comparison
Fluke 62 MAX+	-30 to 650 °C, 12:1, dual laser, IP54, 3 m drop
Fluke 62 MAX	-30 to 500 °C, 10:1, single laser, IP54, 3 m drop
Fluke 59 MAX+	-30 to 500 °C, 10:1, single laser, IP40, 1 m drop

Choose the 62 MAX+ for higher temperatures, smaller targets at a distance or dusty and wet sites. See the Fluke 62 MAX and the budget Fluke 59 MAX+. For an intrinsically safe model for hazardous areas, see the Fluke 568EX.

Typical Applications

Electrical panels, breakers, busbars and cable terminations
Motors, bearings, pumps and gearboxes
HVAC/R supply and return air, ducts, compressors and coils
Steam lines, valves and steam traps
Process equipment and general plant maintenance rounds

Tips for Accurate Readings

Keep the target larger than the measurement spot. With 12:1 optics, a 10 cm target should be measured from no more than about 1.2 m. Set the emissivity for the surface, and avoid measuring through glass, steam or dust. For a full walkthrough, read our Fluke 62 MAX infrared thermometer review and the guide to contact vs non-contact thermometers. If you need to scan a whole panel at once, compare our thermal cameras.
