The Fluke VT04 visual IR thermometer combines the convenience of a spot thermometer with the visual advantage of a thermal imager creating a simple to use instrument – a troubleshooting camera with infrared heat map. The instrument strikes the perfect balance between performance and affordability. Hyper-thin pyroelectric innovation pushes the limit of IR technology pioneering an array dense enough to create an infrared blended heat map. The result is the missing link—the ultimate in-between instrument for those times when a single temperature reading isn’t enough and a high-resolution thermal image is more than you need.
Available in two versions, the VT04 comes with a rechargeable Li-ion battery and the VT04A which uses 4 AA batteries.
Features
- Visual image and infrared heat map blending - Identify the exact location of the potential issue by blending the visual image with the heat map overlay at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% infrared with one button
- NEAR and FAR modes - Align the visual and thermal lenses to correctly identify the location of the issue
- Temperature alarms and automated monitoring features - Identify intermittent problems by monitoring equipment over time or get alerts when a temperature is outside the expected range
- Hot and cold markers - Instantly identify hottest and coldest spots within the field of view
- Save in .bmp or .is2 formats - Choose .bmp when all you want is the image, or use .is2 format that can be edited in SmartView® software
- SmartView® reporting software - Optimize the image blending and palette and quickly create professional reports
- Pocket-size design - Handy when you need it; easily fits in your tool bag or pocket
- Intuitive interface - Get to work as soon as you take it out of the box
- Battery choices - Choose your preferred way of powering your visual IR thermometer: 4 AA batteries (VT04A) or a rechargeable Li-ion battery (VT04)
