This video is a model of information transfer. Clear, factual and informative. Should be used as the gold standard for others seeking to produce a user guide.

[@SeriousSchitt]

Absolutely. If she poked her chest out on me, I'd slap a darn medal fair on it!

[@user-vb8jl6nf4k]

Thank you you saved me so much headache

[@instrumentchoice]

Great to hear.

[@danielpieper1730]

Thank you very much for explaining the device to me! Fluke’s manual and their videos and the other four videos I found on youtube failed to do so.

[@vincentc6919]

Excellent presentation what you would expect from Fluke...awesome stuff...thank you

[@JohnnyLawBMC]

Very nicely done. Thank you.

[@derekrowe9199]

Pretty annoying that the manual does not actually describe what that "trig" setting changes. Thanks for clearing that up

[@abhinavkumar4024]

What should be the value of emissivity to be set for measuring general body temperature for example fever?

[@instrumentchoice]

Hello, this thermometer is not suitable for measuring body temperature. IR thermometers that are suitable for human use can be viewed here: www.instrumentchoice.com.au/instrument-choice/meters/environment-meters/ir-thermometers/forehead-thermometer

Why does my fluke not save any of my preferences? I change to what I want, then the second I pull the trigger, everything goes back to factory

[@instrumentchoice]

Hi dslthug, thank you for your question, on this, is this occurring with brand new batteries? When was the unit purchased from us?

[@abilsabilachannel318]

my fluke 62max cannot measure >60 °C what's problem?

[@instrumentchoice]

Hi thanks for your comment. Can you please confirm the type of surface you are trying to measure the temperature of?

[@simonspeaker]

why my fluke 62 max plus dont show the C/F° selection??

[@instrumentchoice]

The C/F unit setting is after the emissivity setting and before the trig selection setting. If you are unsure of the order, the unit change steps starts at 2:29 of the video.

[@user-rl9dz1gv9r]

I want to check the remaining battery level of the device

[@instrumentchoice]

Hi Chung,
Thank you for your enquiry, on the Fluke 62 it will give a low battery warning alert in the top right of the screen.
When that is displayed you will need to looking at replacing batteries.

[@user-rl9dz1gv9r]

Thank you.@@instrumentchoice

Can i use it in a fridge

[@instrumentchoice]

Hi Benefits4all, thanks for your query. The Fluke 62-Max-IR is designed to measure surface temperatures, while you can use this to measure the surface temperature of a fridge. If you are looking for the internal air temperature of a fridge and more accuracy a probe that measures air temperature may be more suitable.

[@Benefits4alll]

@@instrumentchoice thanks
I tried it today and i found it successful in that
