Authorized Dealer

As an authorized dealer of these brands, these instruments ship genuine and factory sealed, direct from the maker, with the manufacturer documentation in the box.

The Fluke 568 EX is an intrinsically safe infrared and contact thermometer certified for use in Class I Division 1 and 2 and Zone 1 and 2 hazardous areas. Whether the work is in petroleum, chemical, oil and gas or pharmaceutical settings, the 568 EX lets a technician carry one test tool into most Ex rated locations.

The 568 EX measures non-contact surface temperatures from -40 C to 800 C (-40 F to 1472 F) with an accuracy of plus or minus 1 percent. Its 50:1 distance-to-spot ratio lets you read small or distant targets from a safe standoff, and a single-point laser shows exactly where the reading is taken.

A K-type thermocouple input adds contact measurement for surfaces where a probe is the better choice. Soft-key menus make it easy to adjust emissivity, set alarms and log data, and the thermometer stores up to 99 readings with a time and date stamp for later review.

One safe tool for hazardous environments

The 568 EX brings dependable infrared and contact temperature measurement into areas where an ordinary meter is not permitted. Straightforward soft-key menus, a single-point laser and a 50:1 optical ratio let you work quickly and keep a safe distance from energized or moving equipment.

Key Features

Intrinsically safe certification

ATEX and IECEx Zone 1 and 2 plus Class I Division 1 and 2 approvals let you take the 568 EX into most Ex rated areas around the world without a hot work permit for the tool itself.

50:1 distance-to-spot ratio

A tight 50:1 optical ratio reads small or hard to reach targets from a safe standoff distance, so you can check energized or moving equipment without getting close.

Infrared and contact in one tool

Non-contact infrared covers -40 C to 800 C, while the K-type thermocouple input adds contact readings for surfaces where a probe gives the clearer result.

Adjustable emissivity

Dial emissivity from 0.10 to 1.00 or pick from a built-in materials table so readings stay accurate across shiny metals, painted surfaces and other materials.

On-board data logging

Store up to 99 measurements with a time and date stamp, then review them on the backlit display to track equipment over a route.

Questions and Answers

Answers to the things buyers ask most

Where can the Fluke 568 EX be used?

It is certified for Class I Division 1 and 2 and Zone 1 and 2 hazardous areas, covering petroleum, chemical, oil and gas and pharmaceutical environments.

What is the temperature range of the 568 EX?

It measures non-contact temperatures from -40 C to 800 C, or -40 F to 1472 F, plus contact readings through the K-type thermocouple input.

What does the 50:1 distance-to-spot ratio mean?

For every 50 units of distance to the target, the measured spot is 1 unit across, so you can read small or distant surfaces from a safe standoff.

Can the 568 EX store readings?

Yes. It logs up to 99 measurements with a time and date stamp for later review on the display.
