🌡️ Fluke Infrared Thermometer with Expansive Degree Range Review

I need an I/R thermometer to check and monitor my motors in my RC miniature airplane. , and I researched for at least three months and finally settled on the Fluke 561. I will not use any other instrument, it works perfectly, good accurate readings, no fluctuations like others, they change at least twenty degrees as long as you stay in one place. .This device gives consistent, accurate readings on my five cylinder radial, allowing me to modify my air ducts to keep all cylinders at the same…

Good overall package. IR measurements are fast and accurate. If this is your main application, you can use this device. The supplied K-type thermocouple (KTC) is, in a word, horrible. Since VERY inaccurate readings are possible, you must be very careful to wrap it very tightly. For example, by reading the temperature on my boiler, he wanted to tell me that the hot water coming out of my boiler was 125 degrees. When the boiler temp read 180 and touched the pipe I can tell you it's MUCH more than

I like the Fluke 561 single beam IR thermometer with type K thermocouple input. It has an adjustable emissivity and is based on the same core structure as more expensive IR thermometers Fluke 56X series. Its IR accuracy is +/- 1% compared to +/- 2% for most other single beam IR thermometers. One of the most important components of any IR thermometer is the IR lens and housing. The body of the Fluke 56X Series lens is solid metal, as opposed to plastic on most similar devices. Overall the 561…
