Fluke 561 HVAC Infrared & Contact Thermometer - IR and K-Type Thermocouple Compatibility

The Fluke 561 HVAC Infrared & Contact Thermometer is a versatile tool designed to meet the comprehensive temperature measurement needs of industrial, electrical, and HVAC professionals. It combines non-contact infrared (IR) temperature sensing with contact measurements using a K-type thermocouple, allowing users to quickly assess hot, moving, energized, or hard-to-reach objects without disrupting operations. Its capability to scan large areas or small components makes it ideal for troubleshooting motors, electrical panels, insulation, pipes, ductwork, and more, all from a safe distance, eliminating the need for ladders or equipment shutdowns.
The device features a flexible pipe probe with a fabric hook-and-loop fastener for superheat, sub-cooling, and other contact temperature measurements. Additionally, it is compatible with industry-standard mini-connector K-type thermocouples, enabling the use of existing thermocouple investments for internal temperature readings. The thermometer offers precise emissivity adjustment, helping users obtain accurate readings on shiny or reflective surfaces such as pipes and metal components. Single-point laser sighting provides accurate targeting, ensuring measurements are consistent and reliable.
Designed for ease of use, the Fluke 561 weighs only 12 ounces and features MIN, MAX, and DIF functions to help identify temperature fluctuations and issues swiftly. Its temperature range extends from -40°C to 550°C (-40°F to 1022°F), accommodating a broad spectrum of applications. The device's compact design, coupled with simple controls, makes it suitable for handheld, everyday use in demanding environments. The package includes a hard carrying case, a K-type thermocouple, a fabric hook-and-loop pipe probe, two AA batteries, and a user manual, all backed by a two-year limited warranty for added peace of mind.

Whether performing routine inspections or troubleshooting complex systems, the Fluke 561 Infrared & Contact Thermometer provides accurate, fast, and versatile temperature measurements. Its combination of infrared and contact measurement capabilities ensures you can work more efficiently and safely, reducing downtime and improving diagnostic precision across various industrial and HVAC applications.
