23 ways the Fluke 64 MAX

Infrared Thermometer can

save you energy and time

You might find it indispensable

Are you looking for a diagnostic tool that can save you money out

of the box? A tool that can help you troubleshoot malfunctioning

HVAC mechanical systems? One that is literally a “‘point and shoot”

device? The Fluke 64 MAX Infrared (IR) Thermometer is just that

tool! In fact, once you begin to use it you might find it indispensable.

It has become the first tool out of my tool bag (I’m a senior HVAC

technician and troubleshooter). In just a few weeks of using my Fluke

64 MAX IR Thermometer I found a large number of ways it could

help me. Here are some of the ways.

APPLICATION NOTE

1. Capture the

measurements you need

even when you can’t be

there

The Fluke 64 MAX IR

Thermometer’s Auto Capture

feature allows a user to cap-

ture multiple measurements

unattended, when they are in

another area of the plant or in

the middle off the night after

they have gone off shift. Just

set the time to start the mea-

surements and the interval you

want to capture them. Then

place the 64 MAX on a standard

tripod with the tripod mount

(offered separately). Set it up

and walk away. Capture up to

99 measurements to help get to

the root problem faster.

2. Easy viewing even in

dark environments

The 64 MAX provides easy

viewing even in dark environ-

ments with its easy-to-read

backlit display and flashlight.

3. Internal memory

The 64 MAX IR Thermometer

has the convenience of internal

memory that captures up to 99

data point locations and holds

for later comparison to new

measurements.

4. Check discharge air

temperature

You can check the discharge air

temperature of an HVAC unit

with a ceiling discharge while

standing on the ground. Not

only is this safer than using a

ladder; the values can be used

to adjust the control system and

reduce energy waste. Many air

handling units produce a 55 °F

(12.7 °C) discharge temperature.

“Many possible high-impact uses of the

Fluke 64 MAX IR Thermometer exist,

in addition to the examples given here.

Usually when I get tothe job site, I just

start pointing and using the Fluke 64

MAX IR Thermometer right away!”

5. Check thermostat accuracy Occupants often complain about being too hot or cold. You can check the accuracy of the room thermostat very quickly with the Fluke 64 MAX IR Thermometer. Then you can make adjustments to the thermostat or replace the thermostat if necessary. 9. Check steam traps Steam trap failure can waste energy and cause improper HVAC system operation, resulting in a system freeze-up.

15. Check low temperature limits Measuring the steam temperature at the inlet to the humidifier valve. Almost all commercial air handling units provide a low temperature limit switch. To prevent the freeze-up of a water coil, the low temperature limit will stop the supply fan. In some cases the low temperature limit may be adjusted incorrectly. You can use the Fluke 64 MAX IR Thermometer to check the calibration of the low temperature limit and adjust as needed. 13.

21. Check cooler and freezer temperatures It is absolutely critical that products in coolers and freezers are maintained at the correct temperature. The Fluke 64 MAX IR Thermometer can quickly show that the products in a cooler or freezer are stored under the proper conditions. Since you can point the Fluke 64 MAX IR Thermometer at any products in the refrigerated space, it is superior to simple fixed location thermometers.
