Professional non-contact
infrared thermometers

Just point and shoot.

Fluke offers a full line of industrial non-contact

infrared (IR) thermometers for a complete

range of applications. From quickly

identifying hot and cold spots for routine

troubleshooting to monitoring, logging, and

analyzing precise temperature as part of a

predictive maintenance program, Fluke has

the right tool for the job—even when the job

requires measuring the temperature of very

hot, very cold, hard-to-reach, moving, distant or

dangerous objects.

And Fluke backs its tools with the industry’s best

warranty and highest rated customer service.

When professional technicians need industrial

IR thermometers, they come to the number one
name in test tools.

Key markets:

• Predictive and preventive maintenance

Electrical and mechanical equipment
monitoring

• HVAC/R

Residential and commercial
troubleshooting

• Process monitoring

Product quality assurance

• Construction

Building inspections

• Petrochemical applications and

hazardous locations

Mechanically, thermally or chemically

hostile environments

Temperature measurement techniques:

• Spot: determine the absolute surface

temperature of a given spot on an object

• Temperature differential: compare two spot

measurements against each other

• Scanning: detect changes along a wide or

continuous target region

Fluke 62 Mini

For quick, basic temperature checks in applications
where the technician is close to the target, there’s
nothing simpler than using a Fluke 62 Mini—just aim
the laser sighting at the center of your target, pull the
trigger, and read the temperature on the large, backlit
LCD. Rugged enough for industrial environments with
its protective rubber “boot”, the 62 Mini also comes
with a handy storage pouch that can be snapped to
your belt, keeping quick temperature checks at your
fi ngertips.

Fluke 572 and 574

More demanding applications require more precise
measurement and specialized features. That’s when
predictive maintenance professionals reach for the
Fluke 570 series. An even wider temperature range,
more powerful optics, a more precise sighting system,
faster response time and adjustable emissivity make
the 570 series the most accurate IR thermometer on
the market.

Advanced sighting

An extra bright coaxial three-dot laser sighting
highlights the center and diameter of the
measurement spot. The laser sighting appears twice
as bright to the human eye as a standard laser
sighting (while maintaining the same safety rating as
less bright lasers), making accurate sighting easier in
a variety of lighting conditions and distances.

Additional features of the 574

For maintenance professionals who need to monitor,
capture, analyze and report temperatures and
temperature trends, the 574 comes with 100-point
onboard data logging capabilities, customizable log
location names, programmable emissivity settings
and PC software for condition monitoring and process
control.

Fluke 576

For the most complete temperature documentation
solution, predictive maintenance professionals use
the Fluke 576 photographic infrared thermometer. In
addition to all the features found in the 574 precision
IR thermometer, including advanced extra bright
coaxial three-dot laser sighting system; 100-point
data logging; customizable log names; programmable
emissivity values; and monitoring, analysis, and
reporting software, the Fluke 576 also integrates a
digital camera for photographic documentation.

Fluke 576 photo documentation

Simultaneously measure temperature and digitally
photograph the target and its surroundings. A wealth of
data is instantly captured in a digital photo: time
and date stamp, temperature data and location
name. Photos and data are easily downloaded
into the accompanying PC software. The addition
of the photos helps to enhance reports, to more
explicitly communicate problem areas with repair
personnel, and to ensure consistency when taking
repeated measurements over time when looking
for equipment condition trends.
