Introduction - Fluke VT02 User Manual

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
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
