    Introduction The VT02 (the Product) is a Visual IR Thermometer that combines surface temperature measurement together with a real-time thermal image. The thermal image removes the time necessary for component-by-component measurement associated with traditional spot radiometers. Potential issues are clearly shown on the color LCD display to help the user quickly and accurately position the center-point measurement cursor and measure the temperature.
