Fluke FLUKE-568 Infrared Thermometer 50:1 -40 to 1472F

Product Description

The FLUKE FLUKE-568 is a professional-grade infrared thermometer engineered for non-contact temperature measurement across a wide range of industrial and trade applications. It covers a measurement range of -40 to 800 degrees C (-40 to 1472 degrees F) with a 50:1 distance-to-spot ratio, allowing accurate readings from a safe distance on energized equipment, hot surfaces, and hard-to-reach components. Accuracy is rated at 1 percent. The unit also supports contact temperature measurement via an included K-Type thermocouple bead probe, making it a two-in-one diagnostic tool for HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and industrial service professionals.

The FLUKE-568 is suited for residential and commercial service work where precise surface and contact temperature readings are required. Common applications include HVAC system diagnostics, electrical panel and component inspections, boiler and piping surface checks, and process temperature verification. Its ergonomic and rugged construction supports use in demanding field environments. A data logging function allows technicians to capture and review readings over time, and the included USB cable enables data transfer to a computer for reporting and documentation purposes.

Key Features

• Wide measurement range: -40 to 1472 degrees F (-40 to 800 degrees C)
• 50:1 distance-to-spot ratio for accurate readings from greater standoff distances
• Dual-mode operation: infrared non-contact plus K-Type thermocouple contact measurement
• Adjustable emissivity range from 0.10 to 1.00 for measuring varied surface types
• Built-in data logging with USB connectivity for field documentation
• Laser sighting for precise target aiming
• Includes hard carrying case, K-Type thermocouple bead probe, USB cable, and user documentation

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose non-contact and contact temperature measurement across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and industrial service applications. Accepts standard K-Type thermocouple probes for contact measurement.

Installation Notes

The FLUKE-568 is a handheld diagnostic instrument and does not require installation. Licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and other trade professionals should follow standard lockout/tagout procedures before taking contact measurements on energized or pressurized systems. When measuring electrical components, maintain appropriate arc-flash boundaries per NFPA 70E guidelines. Insert two AA batteries before first use as outlined in the included quick start guide.
