Fluke 568 Infrared & Contact Thermometer: Two Measurement Methods in One Tool

The Fluke 568 is a professional-grade multipurpose thermometer designed for technicians who need both non-contact infrared readings and direct contact temperature measurement. According to the Fluke 568 datasheet, it combines a wide infrared range, adjustable emissivity, a K-type thermocouple input, and logging capability in a rugged, easy-to-use instrument built for service and maintenance work.

−40 to 800 °C

Infrared Measurement Range

The Fluke 568 covers a wide non-contact temperature range, making it useful for hot surfaces, moving parts, and hard-to-reach targets.

50:1

Distance-to-Spot Ratio

A 50:1 ratio lets you measure smaller targets from farther away while keeping a safe and practical working distance.

K-Type

Contact Probe Support

In addition to infrared readings, the meter accepts standard mini-connector K-type thermocouples for direct contact measurements.

99

Logged Data Points

The 568 includes data logging with date and time stamps, helping users document temperature changes during inspections.

Why the Fluke 568 Stands Out

What makes the Fluke 568 especially practical is that it is not limited to only one measurement style. Many thermal tools force the user to choose between non-contact speed and direct-contact accuracy. This model offers both.

From the datasheet, it supports adjustable emissivity with a built-in table of common materials, which helps improve accuracy across different surfaces. It also adds MIN, MAX, AVG, and DIF functions, so technicians can analyze changing temperatures rather than reading only a single snapshot.

The graphical dot-matrix display, soft-key operation, and two-level backlight make it much easier to use in industrial, mechanical, and HVAC environments.

Best Use Cases

  • Industrial maintenance and inspections
  • Electrical and mechanical troubleshooting
  • HVAC temperature checks
  • Surface temperature measurements from a safe distance
  • Logging temperature trends over time
  • Tasks where both IR and contact readings are needed

Key Features at a Glance

Adjustable Emissivity
Digital adjustment from 0.10 to 1.00 in 0.01 steps, supported by a built-in material reference table.
Fast Response
Infrared response time is under 500 milliseconds for quick spot checks in busy environments.
Alarm Support
A two-color flashing alarm helps notify the user when readings exceed a preset limit.
Logging Function
Records measurement points with time and date information for documentation and analysis.
Trigger Lock
Useful for longer measurement sessions when you want to hold the reading continuously.
Multi-language Interface
The user interface supports six languages, which improves usability for different teams and regions.
