Fluke 566 Infrared and Contact Thermometer
The Fluke 566 is a two-in-one IR and contact thermometer with a 30:1 distance-to-spot ratio, measuring -40 °C to 650 °C via its dot-matrix display. It logs up to 20 readings, offers adjustable emissivity, and accepts standard Type K mini connector thermocouples.Overview
The Fluke 566 is a two-in-one infrared and contact thermometer designed for industrial, electrical, and mechanical environments. Its dot-matrix display and intuitive three-button soft-key interface let technicians navigate advanced features — emissivity adjustment, data logging, and alarms — in six selectable languages. With a 30:1 distance-to-spot ratio, the 566 measures smaller targets from a greater standoff distance than basic IR thermometers, improving both safety and efficiency in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature range does the Fluke 566 cover?
The Fluke 566 measures from -40 °C to 650 °C via non-contact infrared, making it suitable for monitoring everything from refrigeration systems to furnaces and molten metal processing.
What does the 30:1 distance-to-spot ratio mean for my measurements?
A 30:1 ratio means you can measure smaller objects or tighter spots from a greater distance—for example, a 1-inch spot from 30 inches away. This helps you safely assess temperature on hard-to-reach or hazardous surfaces.
Can I rely on this thermometer for high-temperature industrial work?
Yes, its -40 to 650 °C range, adjustable emissivity, and dot-matrix display make it suitable for furnace repair, kiln operation, thermal process monitoring, and industrial troubleshooting where precise high-temperature readings are critical.
How does data logging help with my maintenance routine?
The Fluke 566 logs up to 20 readings, allowing you to capture temperature trends over time. This helps document trends, identify thermal drift, and keep records for equipment compliance or warranty claims.
Can I add contact measurements to IR readings?
Yes, the Fluke 566 accepts standard Type K mini-connector thermocouples, so you can verify IR readings or take contact measurements on surfaces where direct contact is safer or more reliable.
Is adjustable emissivity important for my work?
Very much so. Different materials (shiny metals, dull surfaces, coatings) have different emissivity. The Fluke 566 lets you adjust this setting to ensure accurate readings across various material types and finishes.
What is the current delivery time to the GCC region?
Lead times vary based on location and availability. Please contact Procure.ae to request a firm delivery estimate for your area.
