Fluke 566 infrared and contact thermometer
The Fluke 566 is a handheld thermometer that can measure temperature in two ways: non-contact via infrared measurement and contact via a K-type probe. This makes the instrument practical when you want to quickly check surface temperature and also have the option of a more direct measurement where relevant.
For infrared measurement, the instrument is used to read temperature from a distance. This is useful in places where you cannot or do not want to touch the object, for example on hot, moving, or hard-to-reach surfaces. With a distance-to-spot ratio of 30:1, you can measure relatively small areas without having to be too close.
For contact measurement, a K-type thermocouple can be attached, and a bead probe is included. This allows for more direct temperature control when the task requires it. Therefore, the instrument is relevant in service, troubleshooting, and general inspection in industry, electrical, and technical fields.
The Fluke 566 can store measurement points with date and time and has functions such as Min, Max, Avg, and Dif. This makes it easier to track temperatures over time and compare measurements. Additionally, the emissivity can be adjusted, allowing infrared measurement to be adapted to different surfaces, and the instrument has both audible and visual alarms for high and low temperatures.
If you have a task where you need to be able to measure quickly, switch between contact and non-contact, and document the measurements, the Fluke 566 is a good fit. It is not a specialized laboratory meter, but a practical tool for daily temperature control in the field and workshop.
