    Introduction The Fluke 562/563 Infrared Thermometers (the Product) are for non-contact temperature measurement. The Product determines the surface temperature of an object by measuring the amount of infrared energy radiated by the object surface. The Product also uses a K-type thermocouple for contact temperature measurement.
