Fluke 62 MAX and 62 MAX+ Infrared Thermometers
The Fluke 62 MAX and 62 MAX+ are compact, non-contact infrared thermometers for quick temperature spot-checks on motors, panels, bearings, ductwork and electrical connections. Both take fast, accurate surface readings without contact, and the 62 MAX+ adds a wider range and tighter accuracy for more demanding work. They are small enough to live in a tool bag yet rugged enough for daily site use.
Brand and standards
Fluke is one of the most trusted names in electrical test and measurement, and Powerpoint Engineering is an authorised Fluke distributor in Ireland. Both models are IP54 rated for protection against dust and water ingress and are built to withstand a drop from up to 3 metres, so they hold up to the realities of plant and field work. Adjustable emissivity from 0.10 to 1.00 lets you read accurately across different surface materials.
Applications
Non-contact temperature measurement suits fast inspection and fault-finding where touching the surface is impractical or unsafe:
- Spot-checking motors, bearings and drives for overheating
- Scanning distribution boards and connections for hot spots
- Checking ductwork, radiators and pipework temperatures
- First-line triage before committing to a full thermal imaging survey

FAQs
What is the difference between the 62 MAX and the 62 MAX+?
The 62 MAX+ extends the upper range from 500 °C to 650 °C, tightens accuracy to ±1.0 °C or 1.0% of reading, and responds faster at under 300 ms. The 62 MAX covers most general electrical and maintenance checks, while the MAX+ suits hotter or more precise work.
Will an infrared thermometer replace a thermal imaging survey?
No. A spot thermometer reads one point at a time and is ideal for quick triage. For full diagnostics across a panel or installation, a thermal imaging survey maps heat patterns across the whole area and catches faults a single reading can miss.
Can Powerpoint Engineering calibrate my Fluke 62 MAX?
Yes. Our in-house calibration and repair laboratory services Fluke thermometers and issues traceable certificates. Speak to our calibration team to book a slot and keep your readings dependable.
