Fluke 561 Infrared and Contact Thermometer IR thermometer with K-type thermocouple capability The multipurpose thermometer you need. Lighten up your toolbox. The Fluke 561 combines the temperature measurement functions that industrial, electrical, and HVAC/R professionals need, all in one tool. It measures both IR and contact temperature, replacing several other test tools. It's fast, efficient, and easy to use, saving you valuable time and effort. With the Fluke 561, you can take contact and ambient temperatures in the way that's best for you. Use the IR thermometer to measure hot, moving, electrically energized, and hard-to-reach objects instantly. Check motors, insulation, breakers, radiant heating, pipes, corroded connections, and wires. Plus, scan ducts, and other hard-to-reach objects from the floor-leave your ladder in the truck. You can use the Fluke 561's handy Velcro® pipe probe or, plug in any industrystandard, K-type mini-connector thermocouple probe you already own. Technical Data Features include: • IR thermometer for quick mea- surements up close, or at a distance, without a ladder • Contact thermometry capability, compatible with all standard mini-connector K-type thermocouples, preserves your investment in thermocouples • Velcro® pipe probe for super- heat and sub-cooling and other contact and ambient measurements • Single-point laser sighting • Temperature range of -40 °C to 550 °C (-40 °F to 1022 °F) covers most industrial and residential applications • Easy emissivity adjustment for measuring pipes and other shiny materials more accurately • Lightweight (just 12 ounces/ 340 grams) and portable • Very easy to use • Efficient-no need to shut down equipment when making IR measurements • MIN, MAX, and DIF functions help you quickly identify problems • Scan large areas or small objects quickly and efficiently Laser-guided sighting for IR measurements When using the Fluke 561 in the IR mode, the single dot, laser sighting system guides measurements to the right target. The dot indicates the approximate center of the measurement area. D:S = 12:1 at focal point S 38 mm (1 in) @ 300 mm (12 in) 125 mm (5 in) @ 1500 mm (60 in) 75 mm (3 in) @ 900 mm (36 in) D When measuring smaller objects, use the Fluke 561 within 6 ft. (1.75 m) of the intended target. The measured area increases with distance (the distance divided by 12, approximately).
