Fluke 561 HVAC/R Infrared and Contact Thermometer measurement tool

SKU CH-HZ0V-WWWZC MPN 561

Measures infrared and contact temperature with a Velcro pipe probe and accepts standard K-type thermocouple probes

  • Analog/digitalDigital
  • Product typeIR Thermometer
  • Measures IR and contact temperature in one tool
  • Velcro pipe probe included for hands-free pipe readings
  • Accepts any K-type mini-connector thermocouple probe
  • Scans ducts from floor level without a ladder
  • Checks motors, breakers, pipes and corroded connections instantly

HVAC Infrared and Contact Thermometer

The Fluke 561 combines infrared and contact temperature measurement in a single tool built for industrial, electrical, and HVAC/R professionals. It reads surface temperatures instantly with the IR sensor or uses the included Velcro pipe probe for direct contact readings. The meter also accepts any industry-standard K-type mini-connector thermocouple probe for expanded flexibility on the job.

For technicians replacing multiple test tools

This instrument suits professionals who need fast, non-contact scanning of hot, moving, or energized components like motors, breakers, and ductwork from the floor. It is not intended for users who require built-in data logging, wireless connectivity, or emissivity adjustment for specialised materials. Buyers needing formal calibration certificates or intrinsically safe ratings should verify those requirements separately.

Dual-mode IR and contact measurement

The defining specification is the ability to switch between infrared scanning and K-type thermocouple contact readings on one device. This dual function lets you diagnose HVAC systems, electrical panels, and mechanical equipment without carrying separate instruments. Confirm that the measurement range and response time match your specific application before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 561 work with the K-type thermocouple probes I already own?

Yes, the 561 accepts any industry-standard K-type mini-connector thermocouple probe, so existing probes can be used without adapters.

How can I verify the 561 is reading correctly after I unpack it?

Compare the infrared reading against the included Velcro pipe probe on a surface of known temperature, such as ice water at zero degrees Celsius, to confirm both modes agree.

What probes come in the box and which must be purchased separately?

The 561 includes a Velcro pipe probe for contact measurements; additional K-type thermocouple probes are sold separately if you need different tip styles or lengths.
