Temperature Measurement


Fluke’s new visual IR thermometer

March 2014 Temperature Measurement

The Comtest Group has introduced the new Fluke VT04 Visual IR thermometer to the South African market. This latest troubleshooting tool with built-in digital camera and thermal heat map overlay, bridges the gap between traditional IR thermometers and infrared cameras.

Building on the popular Fluke VT02, the VT04 adds PyroBlend Plus with a four times sharper resolution and automatic alarm features. It is an ideal frontline trouble­shooting tool for HVAC and industrial building applications. The ultra-compact device is fully automatic with built-in intelligence, allowing problems to be detected instantaneously.

The VT04 includes advanced alarm features, including a hi-lo temperature alarm that flashes on the screen if the temperature goes out of the selected range; a time-lapse image capture that can be set to capture images in 30-second to hourly intervals; and an auto-monitor alarm that initiates image capture automatically after a temperature alarm has been triggered. It displays and saves images as full digital, full infrared, or in three blended modes (25, 50, and 75%) with 40% wider field of view than the VT02. Markers pinpoint hot and cold spots and a temperature reading is provided at the centre point. Images are saved to a micro-SD card and can be imported to the SmartView analysis and reporting software for report generation.
