Fluke VT04A, VT02 user manual Introduction

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 SmartView→ software.

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
