Page 9: Introduction
Infrared Thermometer Introduction The Fluke 561 Infrared Thermometer (hereafter, the Thermometer) can determine the surface temperature by measuring the amount of infrared energy radiated by the target’s surface or by contact using a thermocouple probe. The Thermometer was designed specifically for use in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications. -

Page 14: How The Thermometer Works
Users Manual How the Thermometer Works Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an opaque object. The Thermometer’s optics sense infrared energy, which is collected and focused onto a detector. The Thermometer’s electronics then translate the information into a displayed temperature reading which appears on the display. The laser is used for aiming purposes only. -
