Introduction  
To order accessories, receive assistance, or locate the  
nearest Fluke distributor or Service Center, call:  
The Fluke Model 51 and Model 52 Thermometers (“the  
thermometer”) are microprocessor-based, digital  
thermometers designed to use external J-, K-, T-, and E-  
type thermocouples (temperature probes) as temperature  
sensors.

Table 1. Safety Information  
WWarning  
A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user. To avoid electrical shock or  
personal injury, follow these guidelines:  
Before using the thermometer inspect the case. Do not use the thermometer if it appears damaged. Look  
for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation around the connectors.  
Disconnect the thermocouple(s) from the thermometer before opening the case.  
Replace the batteries as soon as the battery indicator (B) appears. The possibility of false readings can  
lead to personal injury.  
Do not use the thermometer if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the  
thermometer serviced.  
Do not operate the thermometer around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.  
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the thermometer, between the thermocouple(s), or  
between any thermocouple and earth ground.

Introduction  
Table 1. Safety Information (cont.)  
WWarning (cont.)  
Model 52: Measurement errors may occur if voltages on the measurement surfaces result in potentials  
greater than 1 V between the two thermocouples. When potential differences are anticipated between the  
thermocouples, use electrically insulated thermocouples.  
When servicing the thermometer, use only specified replacement parts.  
Do not use the thermometer with any part of the case or cover removed.  
Caution  
A Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the meter or the equipment under test.  
Use the proper thermocouples, function, and range for your thermometer.  
Do not attempt to recharge the batteries.  
To prevent explosion, do not throw batteries into a fire.  
Follow local laws or regulations when disposing of batteries.  
Match the + and polarities of the battery with the battery case.

Changing a Setup Option  
The thermometer enters sleep mode if no button  
press occurs for 20 minutes. Pressing any button  
wakes the thermometer and returns it to its  
previous state. Sleep mode becomes enabled  
each time you turn on the thermometer and is  
automatically disabled in MIN MAX mode.

want to change.  
2. Press E to indicate that you want to change this  
setting.  
3. Press K or N until the setting you want to use  
Line frequency:  
appears on the display.  
For optimum rejection of line noise, the  
thermometer must be set for the local line  
frequency.  
4. Press E to store the new setting in memory.  
Notes  
Setup is disabled in MIN MAX mode.  
Offset:  
The primary display shows the temperature plus  
the offset and the secondary display shows the  
offset. Remember to reset the offset to 0.0 when  
it is no longer needed. The offset automatically  
resets to 0.0 when you change the thermocouple  
type. Model 52: You can store individual offsets  
for T1 and T2.
