# Fluke 62 Max IR Thermometer # Fluke 62 Max IR Thermometer ## Key Features At A Glance - Temperature range from -30 °C to 500 °C on the 62 Max and -30 °C to 650 °C on the 62 Max+ - 10:1 optical resolution on the 62 Max and 12:1 on the 62 Max+ (calculated at 90% energy) - IP54 rated for dust and water resistance - Drop-tested to 3 meters (9.8 feet) - Spectral response 8 to 14 microns with adjustable emissivity from 0.10 to 1.00 - Dual rotating lasers on the 62 Max+ identify the measurement area between the dots - Min/Max/Avg/Dif display modes plus Hi/Lo alarms for out-of-limit measurements - Single AA battery operation with large backlit display The Fluke 62 Max is a handheld infrared thermometer designed for non-contact temperature measurement in electrical, mechanical, and HVAC environments. As the printed datasheet describes, the instrument is small in size, IP54 rated for dust and water resistance, and drop-tested to 3 meters — engineered to be handled on the job without special care. The series is offered in two models: the 62 Max covering -30 °C to 500 °C with 10:1 optical resolution, and the 62 Max+ covering -30 °C to 650 °C with 12:1 optical resolution and dual rotating lasers. The datasheet identifies the instrument's role in detecting potential problems in electrical and mechanical applications, where temperature is often the first indication of a developing fault. Specific applications named on the page include identifying hot spots in electrical panels, finding overheating motors, and assessing HVAC system efficiency. The non-contact measurement format allows readings in hard-to-reach or hazardous areas where contact thermometry is impractical, supporting early detection and correction of abnormal temperatures. ## Compare Other Models in This Series The Fluke 62 Max series consists of two handheld infrared thermometer models — the 62 Max and the 62 Max+ — built on a shared rugged platform. Both share the IP54 dust and water resistance rating, the 3-meter drop-test specification, the 8 to 14 micron spectral response, the 0.10 to 1.00 emissivity range, the 0.1 °C display resolution, and the single AA battery power format. The two models differ in measurement performance: temperature range, accuracy, response time, optical resolution, and repeatability all step up on the 62 Max+, which also adds dual rotating lasers for measurement-area identification. The comparison table below lays out the printed specifications for each model side by side. Each new 62 Max series model below is presented on its own product page with pricing matched to its condition. Click through to the specific model and condition that fits your application and budget. The 62 Max+ extends the upper measurement limit to 650 °C versus 500 °C on the 62 Max — a meaningful difference for applications involving higher-temperature mechanical components, exhaust systems, or industrial process equipment. The 62 Max+ also tightens the basic accuracy from ±1.5% of reading to ±1.0% of reading and improves repeatability from ±0.8% (or <±1.0 °C) to ±0.5% (or <±0.5 °C), making it the choice when measurement confidence at the recorded value matters more. The 62 Max+ delivers a faster response time at <300 ms to 95% of reading versus <500 ms on the 62 Max, and a 12:1 optical resolution versus 10:1 — allowing the 62 Max+ to measure smaller targets at the same distance, or the same target size at greater distance. The dual rotating lasers on the 62 Max+ bracket the measurement spot between the two laser dots, which is an operator-facing aid the base 62 Max does not include.
