Comtest has announced the launch of Fluke’s new 62 Max and 62 Max+ infrared thermometers, highly accurate and designed specifically to be dust, water and drop resistant. This makes them ideal for the harsh conditions faced by technicians in electrical, service, HVAC, process, industrial and facilities maintenance applications.
Temperature is often the first indication of potential problems in electrical and mechanical applications. So, how does the technician determine if an electrical panel has a hot spot, a motor is overheating or an HVAC system is inefficient? One answer is an infrared (IR) thermometer. Fluke’s handheld, non-contact IR thermometers instantly measure equipment temperatures in hard to reach or hazardous areas; early detection of abnormal temperatures means early correction of problems.
The Fluke 62 Max+ delivers:
* Rugged performance: survives 3-metre drops to wood floors.
* Water and dust resistance: IP54 rated to withstand rain, splashing liquids, dust and dirt.
* Small and easy to use: small enough to carry comfortably on a tool belt the digital thermometers measure with a trigger click and the multi-angle display is easy to read.
* Dual lasers: dual, rotating lasers for accurate spot size.
The Fluke 62 Max is ideal for quick temperature scans of systems to look for anything from unusual hot spots that signal electrical and electro-mechanical malfunctions to undesirable air intake/output patterns in the building envelope. Because infrared measurement does not require contact with the surface being measured, technicians can make the measurements from safe distances away from moving machinery or live electrical connections.
The 62 Max has a distance-to-spot ratio of 10:1 and measures temperatures from 30 to 500°C with an accuracy 1,5% of the reading. The 62 Max+ has a distance-to-spot ratio of 12:1 and measures 30 to 650°C with an accuracy ±1,0% of the reading.
Fluke’s current model 62 will be discontinued from 31 July 2012 and the 62 Max is a two-model replacement.
