Fluke 561 IR Thermometer Repair

Description

Fluke 561 Infrared Thermometer Repair

The Fluke 561 is a combination infrared and contact thermometer that measures surface temperature non-contact (IR) and, with a type-K probe, contact temperature, for HVAC and electrical work. Its accuracy depends on the infrared sensor and optics, the emissivity/measurement electronics, and (on contact-capable models) the thermocouple input, which is where repair and calibration focus.

FlukeMeterRepair.com repairs and calibrates the Fluke 561 for HVAC technicians, food-safety inspectors, and process engineers.

Common Fluke 561 problems we fix

• Contact-thermocouple input faults — the contact-probe (type-K) input not reading, repaired and recalibrated.
• IR-sensor / optics faults — a dirty, damaged, or drifting infrared sensor giving inaccurate readings, repaired and recalibrated against standards.
• Data-hold / measurement faults — the hold or measurement function not working, repaired.
• Display or trigger faults — repaired.
• Battery-contact degradation — cleaned and repaired.

FAQs

My 561 reads temperature wrong — fixable? Yes. Sensor and measurement faults are repairable, then the thermometer is recalibrated so it reads accurately, with a NIST-traceable certificate.

Is the IR sensor verified? Yes — checked against our temperature standards.

Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or request service.
