Fluke 561 HVAC Infrared & Contact Thermometer
The Fluke 561 is a versatile infrared and contact thermometer designed for HVAC, electrical, and industrial applications, measuring -40°C to 550°C (-40°F to 1022°F). Combining non-contact IR measurement with K-type thermocouple contact capability, it allows professionals to quickly and accurately measure temperatures on motors, pipes, ducts, and hard-to-reach surfaces without the need for a ladder. Its compact, lightweight design and adjustable emissivity make it ideal for both routine checks and detailed troubleshooting.
Description
The Fluke 561 HVAC Infrared & Contact Thermometer is built to deliver fast, accurate, and flexible temperature measurements for a variety of industrial, electrical, and HVAC/R applications. With non-contact IR measurement, you can scan moving, hot, or electrically energized objects from a safe distance, while the K-type thermocouple input allows precise contact readings. This dual-function tool helps professionals save time, avoid ladder use, and perform measurements on hard-to-reach areas such as ducts, pipes, and radiant heating systems.
The thermometer features single-point laser targeting for precise aiming, and adjustable emissivity to ensure accuracy on reflective surfaces like pipes and metal. Its fabric hook-and-loop pipe probe enables superheat, subcooling, and ambient temperature measurements. Lightweight and compact, it fits comfortably in your hand or tool bag, yet delivers professional-grade performance. With MIN, MAX, and DIF functions, you can quickly identify issues and make informed maintenance decisions.
