The IRK-2 is a handheld infrared thermometer with a circle laser that outlines the spot being measured, so you see the target diameter instead of guessing from a single dot. It has a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio, adjustable emissivity, a backlit two-line LCD, and a type K thermocouple socket that reads contact probes alongside the IR reading at the same time. Min/max, average, differential, high/low alarms and continuous scan cover most industrial and home diagnostic work. It suits technicians, HVAC and electrical users, and home inspectors who want both non-contact and probe readings in one tool; against single-laser IR guns it adds the circle targeting and thermocouple input, though it is a general-purpose meter rather than a high-end branded unit.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 from 21 ratings. Owners value the circle laser targeting and the thermocouple input, which set it apart from basic IR guns. Complaints center on laser visibility outdoors and the need to set emissivity carefully.
The IRK-2 is an infrared thermometer for measuring temperature across a broad range, for industrial and home use. It has a circle laser indicator that shows the diameter of the area being measured. The circle changes size as you move closer to or further from the target.
It has a thermocouple socket that accepts any type K thermocouple probe. A two-line display shows infrared and thermocouple readings at the same time. The backlit display can be turned on or off for reading in poorly lit areas. Emissivity is adjustable, so it can measure a variety of surface types.
The 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio lets you measure small target areas from further away, which keeps the lens cool when measuring hot surfaces. The large main display reads in °F or °C. This kit includes the meter and the PRB-K-159 Fast Response Penetration Probe.
