INTRODUCTION
The Fluke 80PK-IR Infrared Thermocouple Probe (the
probe) is a noncontact temperature measurement acces-
sory for use with a digital Type K thermometer. The probe
hasatemperaturerangeof-18°Cto260°C(0°Fto500°F),
with a basic accuracy of 3% of reading, and a Type K
miniature thermocouple connector.
Temperature is measured by pointing the probe at the
surface to be measured and reading the temperature on
the thermometer display.

Distance to Spot Size Ratio
Distance to Spot Size Ratio (or Field of View) refers to the
diameter of the spot that the probe is sensing at a given
distance. The closer you are to the object (or target), the
smallerthearea(orspot)theprobeissensing.Forexample
whentheprobeisheldata200mm(8in.)distancefromthe
target, the spot size is approximately 50 mm (2 in.); at 100
mm(4in.)thespotsizeisapproximately25mm(1in.),and
with the probe held at a 50 mm (2 in.) distance from the
target, the spot size is approximately 13 mm (1/2 in.). Hot
spots can be missed if too large an area is included in the
field of view, so get as close as possible without touching!
(See Figure 2.)
Operational Check
For an operating test of the probe, point it directly at ice
immersed in water (slush). The meter should read, within
specifications limits, 0°C (32°F) (see Accuracy specifica-
tions).

Front-Window Cleaning (as necessary)
1. Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air.
2. Gently brush remaining debris away with a camel hair
brush or cotton swab.
3. Carefully wipe the surface with a moist cotton swab.
The swab may be moistened with water or a water-
based glass cleaner. Allow to air dry. (Do not use
solvents to clean the window.)
