Page 5: Introduction
63/66/68 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. -

Page 17: Field Of View
63/66/68 Operating the Thermometer Field of View Make sure that the target is larger than the unit’s spot size. The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it. See Figure 6. ame004.eps Figure 6. Field of View Emissivity Emissivity describes the energy-emitting characteristics of materials. - Page 18 63/66/68 Infrared Thermometers reach the same temperature as the surface beneath it. Measure the temperature of the tape or painted surface. The 66/68 thermometers allow you to adjust the unit’s emissivity for the type of surface being measured. Refer to Table 2. Table 2.
