... Introduction The Fluke Models 63, 66, and 68 Infrared Thermometers (“the thermometers”) are for non-contact temperature measurement. These thermometers determine an object’s surface temperature by measuring the amount of infrared energy radiated by the object’s surface. See Figure 2. Contacting Fluke To contact Fluke, call one of the following telephone numbers: ...

... Infrared Thermometers Display (63) In the SCAN mode, the backlit reading displays both the live temperature (G) and maximum temperature (D) in Celsius or Fahrenheit (B). The thermometer holds the last reading for 7 seconds after the trigger is released and “HOLD” appears (H). Display (66/68) In SCAN mode, both the live temperature (G) and the selected mode function (D,E) are displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit (B) ...

... Buttons (66/68) How the Thermometers Work Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an opaque object. The thermometer’s optics sense emitted, reflected, and transmitted energy, which is collected and focused onto a detector. The unit’s electronics translate the information into a temperature reading which the unit displays. The laser is used for aiming purposes only ...

... Infrared Thermometers Target Figure 3. How the Thermometer Works Operating the Thermometer Temperature Measurement To measure temperature, point the unit at an object and pull the trigger. Be sure to consider distance-to-spot size ratio and field of view. The laser is used for aiming only. Locating a Hot or Cold Spot To find a hot or cold spot, aim the thermometer outside the desired area ...

Page 15

Figure 4. Locating a Hot or Cold Spot Distance and Spot Size As the distance (D) from the object being measured increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger. The relationship between distance and ...
