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.

Safety Information

XW Warning

A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose

hazards to the user. To avoid electrical shock or personal

injury, follow these guidelines:

•*Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly off

reflective surfaces.

•Before using the thermometer inspect the case. Do not

use the thermometer if it appears damaged. Look for

cracks or missing plastic.

•Replace the batteries as soon as the battery indicator

( ) appears.

•Do not use the thermometer if it operates abnormally.

Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the

thermometer serviced.

•Do not operate the thermometer around explosive gas,

vapor, or dust.

•Do not connect the optional external probe to live

electrical circuits.

•To avoid a burn hazard, remember that highly reflective

objects will result in lower than actual temperature

measurements.

•Do not use in a manner not specified by this manual or

the protection supplied by the equipment may be

impaired.

WCaution

To avoid damaging the thermometer or the equipment

under test protect them from the following:

•EMF (electro-magnetic fields) from arc welders,

induction heaters, etc.

•Static electricity

•Thermal shock (caused by large or abrupt ambient

temperature changes - allow 30 minutes for

thermometer to stabilize before use).

•Do not leave the thermometer on or near objects of

high temperature.
