Table 3 lists recommended Fluke temperature probes for use with the Thermometer:
Table 3. Recommended Temperature Probes
Probe Usage
80PK-25
The piercing probe is the most versatile option. Good for checking air
temperature in ducts, surface temperature under carpets/pads, liquids,
thermometer wells, vent temperatures, and for penetrating pipe insulation.
80PK-1
The general purpose bead probe is an alternative, for quick, accurate surface
temperatures and air temperatures within ducts, vent temperatures.
80PK-8
Pipe clamp probes (2) are essential for tracking continuously changing
temperature differentials on hydronic tubing and pipe loops, and good for
quick, accurate refrigerant temperatures.
80PK-26
The tapered probe is a good general-purpose gas and surface probe, with a
good length and low mass tip casing for faster reaction to surface and air
temperatures.
80PK-9
The insulation piercing probe provides a sharp tip to pierce pipe insulation
and flat probe tip for good surface thermal contact, air temperatures within
ducts, and vent temperatures.
80PK-11
The Velcro pipe probe is a convenient way to attach a thermocouple to a
pipe while keeping hands free.
HOLD
The display will remain activated for 7 seconds after the trigger is released. HOLD appears in
the upper middle of the display. When the trigger is pulled again, the Thermometer will begin
measuring in the last function selected.
Maintenance
Changing the Battery
To install or change the two AA batteries, open the battery compartment and insert the batteries
as shown in Figure 2.
Cleaning the Lens
Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air. Carefully wipe the surface with a moist
cotton swab. The swab may be moistened with water.
Cleaning the Housing
Use soap and water on a damp sponge or soft cloth.
W Caution
To avoid damaging the Thermometer, do NOT submerge it in water.
