The non-contact Fluke 63 infrared thermometer is the ideal professional diagnostic tool for quick and accurate
temperature measurements. The handheld Fluke 63 infrared thermometer enables professionals to research heating and
ventilation problems, monitor the status of electrical motors and electrical panels, and diagnose car malfunctions with
ease.
The portable Fluke 63 infrared thermometers make troubleshooting quick and easy. The single dot laser sighting system
guides measurements to the right target and in less than a second, indicating the approximate center of the measurement
area. The Fluke 63 infrared thermometer has a temperature range of -25 to 999°F (-32 to 535°C) and appears on its large
temperature display, which provides current and MAX surface temperatures. In addition, the Fluke 63 infrared thermometer
has a locking trigger and tripod mount capability, which allow for continuous temperature monitoring.
With a 12:1 distance to spot (D:S) ratio, use the Fluke 63 infrared thermometer within six feet of the intended target.
At greater distances, the measured area will be larger (approximately the distance divided by 12).
Infrared Temperature Measurement - Technology Explained:
Infrared thermometers measure temperature from a distance by detecting the amount of thermal electromagnetic radiation
emitted from the object being measured. This allows users to accurately measure surface temperatures in hazardous or
hard-to-reach places, or other situations in which non-contact temperature measurement is desirable. Infrared thermometer
technology is useful in a wide range of applications – including industrial, laboratory, food service, fire fighting,
hobby, and home use.
While the technology is relatively simple, the myriad of names given to these devices can be confusing. "Laser
Thermometers" makes reference to the laser that helps aim the thermometer. "IR Sensors" and "IR Thermometers" make use
of a common abbreviation for "infrared". "Non-Contact Thermometers" is descriptive of the device's ability to measure
temperature from a distance. "Radiation Pyrometers" is a scientific/technical term for these devices.
