Safety Information
The Fluke 53IIB and 54IIB Thermometers (“the
thermometer”) are microprocessor-based, digital
thermometers designed to use external J-, K-, T-, E-, R-,
S-, and N-type thermocouples (temperature probes) as
temperature sensors.
Use the thermometer only as specified in this manual.
Otherwise, the protection provided by the meter may be
impaired.
Refer to safety information in Table 1 and the meter
symbols in Table 2.

Table 1. Safety Information
W Warning
A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user. To avoid electrical shock or
personal injury, follow these guidelines:
• Before using the thermometer inspect the case. Do not use the thermometer if it appears damaged.
Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation around the connectors.
• Disconnect the thermocouple(s) from the thermometer before opening the case.
• Replace the batteries as soon as the battery indicator (
can lead to personal injury.
• Do not use the thermometer if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt,
have the thermometer serviced.
• Reflective objects result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn
hazard.
• Do not operate the thermometer around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
• Do not connect to voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V pk, 60 V dc from earth ground.

W Warning (cont.)
• Model 54: Measurement errors may occur if voltages on the measurement surfaces result in potentials
greater than 1 V between the two thermocouples. When potential differences are anticipated between
the thermocouples, use electrically insulated thermocouples.
• When servicing the thermometer, use only specified replacement parts.
• Do not use the thermometer with any part of the case or cover removed.
