Temperature Measurement


Fluke launches rugged IR thermometer

July 2017 Temperature Measurement

Fluke has launched the Fluke 64 MAX IR thermometer with internal memory, unattended monitoring, improved accuracy, increased battery life, as well as the precision needed to do a job accurately. Designed and tested to survive a three-metre drop, this lightweight, compact infrared thermometer works in the harshest of environments, even when unattended. Applications include industrial maintenance, electrical and HVAC industries.

The Fluke 64 MAX IR features:

• Precise laser technology for more accurate and repeatable measurements.

• Temperature accuracy of up to 0°C: ±1°C or ±1% of reading, whichever is greater, with 20:1 distance to spot ratio (64 max).

• Flashlight (64 max) and large, easy to read backlit LCD display for easy viewing, even in dark environments.

• IP54 rating for extra protection against airborne contaminants.

• Set time and desired interval between measurements and auto capture to capture spot temperatures unattended (64 max).

• 99 data point logging (64 max).

• Display of the minimum, maximum or average temperature, or the difference between two measurements.

• Hi and Lo alarms for rapid display of measurements outside set limits.
