Infrared Thermometer

Instruction Sheet

Introduction

The Fluke Model 65 Infrared Thermometer (“the thermometer”) is
a noncontact thermometer with laser pointer. The thermometer
determines an object's surface temperature by measuring the
amount of infrared energy radiated by the surface.

Noncontact thermometers can be used to measure surface
temperatures that are unsuitable for traditional contact
measurement methods (such as moving objects, electrically live
surfaces, and difficult-to-reach objects).

Box Contents

Thermometer, holster, carrying case, 2 AA alkaline batteries (not
installed), Instruction Sheet, Quick Reference Card, and
Registration Card.
