Fluke 80PK-3A Type K Surface Thermocouple Probe

Product Description

The FLUKE 80PK-3A is a Type K surface thermocouple probe designed to measure surface temperatures on flat or slightly convex surfaces. It connects to any Type K-compatible meter or logger and returns a reading in as little as 3 seconds, making it a fast, reliable tool for field diagnostics. The probe covers a temperature range of 32 to 500 degrees F (0 to 260 degrees C) and uses a straight PVC-coated cable for durability in typical service environments. HVAC technicians, refrigeration technicians, and electricians reach for this probe when they need quick, accurate surface readings without disassembling equipment.

The 80PK-3A is suited for residential and commercial service work where surface temperature measurement is part of the diagnostic routine. Common applications include checking hot rollers, heating plates, heat exchangers, ductwork surfaces, and electrical components where contact measurement is practical. Its low-profile sensor tip makes good contact on flat and mildly curved surfaces, which matters when consistency between readings is important across a service call.

Key Features

• Type K thermocouple probe with fast 3-second response time
• Temperature range: 32 to 500 degrees F (0 to 260 degrees C)
• Straight PVC-coated cable resists abrasion and common shop contaminants
• Designed for flat or slightly convex surfaces including hot rollers and plates
• Standard Type K connector fits a wide range of compatible meters and loggers
• One-year manufacturer warranty

Compatibility

Compatible with any instrument that accepts a standard Type K thermocouple input, including handheld digital multimeters, dedicated thermometers, and data loggers equipped with a K-type connector. Intended for flat or slightly convex surface measurement applications.

Installation Notes

This probe is installed by a licensed HVAC technician, electrician, or qualified service professional. Before connecting or disconnecting the probe, power down the instrument to avoid signal errors. Ensure the sensor tip makes firm, flush contact with the measurement surface for accurate readings. Do not exceed the rated maximum surface temperature of 500 degrees F, and keep the cable away from sharp edges or high-heat sources that could damage the PVC jacket.
