Introduction

The VT Series (the Product) are Visual IR Thermometers that combine a center-point temperature measurement with a blended digital image and heat map overlay. The thermal image removes the time necessary for component- by-component measurement associated with a traditional spot thermometer (radiometer). The Product is ideal for electrical, HVAC, and facility maintenance applications.

The recommended use model is:

1.Scan a broad area with the blended digital image and heat map overlay to quickly identify temperature anomalies that need more inspection.

2.Use the wide field-of-view to move closer to the target for a temperature measurement with more detail.

3.Capture both heat map and visual images with a single trigger pull.

4.Create a report with Fluke SmartViewsoftware.

The Product is easy to use. Turn on and within seconds it provides an image with no training needed. Several features increase the accuracy and usability of the Product:

Adjustable emissivity and reflected background compensation improves measurement accuracy on semi-reflective surfaces

Hot and cold spot temperature markers that guide the user to the hottest and coldest regions in the infrared heat map

Selectable color palettes

Visual/heat map image alignment

The VT04A and VT04 include these additional features:

High/Low Temperature Alarms

Time-Lapse Image Capture

Auto-Monitor Alarm
