Fluke 62 MAX+ Infrared Laser Thermometer
Description
A rugged infrared thermometer with dual lasers and a 650 C range
The Fluke 62 MAX+ is a compact handheld infrared laser thermometer for industrial spot checks of motors, bearings, electrical panels, steam traps and process lines. Fluke rates it for a -30 to 650 C range with a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio, a 3 metre drop test and IP54 ingress protection. Its dual rotating lasers mark the measurement area, which is the spot between the two dots, and a large backlit LCD shows minimum, maximum, average or the difference between two readings with high and low alarms for rapid pass/fail checks.

Comparing the 62 MAX+ with the 62 MAX and 64 MAX
Fluke lists three related models on one technical data sheet. The 62 MAX measures -30 to 500 C at 10:1 with 1.5% accuracy and 500 ms response. The 62 MAX+ widens the range to 650 C, improves accuracy to 1.0% and optical resolution to 12:1, and responds in under 300 ms. The 64 MAX reaches 600 C at 20:1 and adds a flashlight, 99-point data logging and Auto Capture for unattended measurements; the 62 MAX+ has neither the logging memory nor the flashlight. For small targets from a distance choose the higher distance-to-spot ratio of the 64 MAX; for general maintenance rounds the 62 MAX+ is the mid-range option.
As with any infrared thermometer, readings depend on emissivity and target size. Shiny metal surfaces read low unless the emissivity setting is corrected or the surface is coated, and the spot must be smaller than the target at the working distance. For fixed process monitoring, see the Raytek pyrometers in temperature instrumentation.

About brand
Ask an instrument technician which calibrator is in the toolbox and the answer is often a Fluke. Founded in 1948 and based in Everett, Washington, the company makes handheld test tools, and its Fluke Calibration line supplies laboratory standards. Seven Star LLC lists Fluke process calibrators, electrical test tools and bench calibrators, and sources them for maintenance teams and calibration laboratories in Oman.
Fluke calibrators and test tools listed
The main Fluke products on this page fall into three groups, besides other test tools such as further multimeters, a thermometer, an anemometer, a vibration tester and a portable appliance tester:
- Process tools: the 754 documenting process calibrator with HART, 789 ProcessMeter, 721 dual sensor pressure calibrator and 729 automatic pressure calibrator
- Electrical test: the 376 FC true-RMS clamp meter with iFlex probe and the 1587 FC insulation multimeter
- Fluke Calibration bench standards: 5522A, 5502A, 5500A and 5080A multi-product calibrators, the 5720A multifunction calibrator, 8508A reference multimeter, 6100A electrical power standard and 9640A RF reference source
Several of the bench models belong to earlier generations. When a model is no longer produced, we check the manufacturer's documentation and propose the successor it names.
Where Fluke instruments are used
Fluke process calibrators are used for loop checks, transmitter calibration and valve tests in oil and gas, power and water plants. Clamp meters and insulation testers serve electrical maintenance on motors, switchgear and cables. The bench calibrators and reference multimeters are the working standards of electrical calibration laboratories in the GCC, where they calibrate multimeters, clamp meters, process tools and power analyzers.
Ordering Fluke instruments: what we need
Send the exact model with its suffix, since versions differ. A Fluke 721, for example, is defined by its two pressure ranges, and a 729 by its maximum pressure. For bench calibrators, list the options you need, such as oscilloscope calibration or power quality options, the line voltage, and the type of calibration certificate you require from the manufacturer. For Fluke multimeters and clamp meters, add the kit contents wanted, such as probes, leads or cases.
