Introduction

The VT Series (the Product) are Visual IR Thermometers that combine surface

temperature measurement with real-time thermal and visual images. 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 thermal and visual image 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 thermal 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 thermal image

•Selectable color palettes

•Visual/Thermal image alignment

The VT04 includes these additional features:

•Hi/Lo Temperature Alarms

•Time-Lapse Image Capture

•Auto-Monitor

Figure 1. Start-Up Screen and Status Indicator

For the first time use, or when the batteries are removed for more than a few

hours, the Date and Time menu opens. See page 18 for more information about

how to set the date and time.

Note

All visual IR thermometers need sufficient warm-up time for the most

accurate temperature measurements. This time can often vary by

model and by environmental conditions. Although most visual IR

thermometers are fully warmed up in 3 to 5 minutes, it is always best

to wait a minimum of 10 minutes if the most accurate temperature

measurement is very important to your application. When you move a

visual IR thermometer between environments with large differences in

ambient temperature, more adjustment time can be required.

Rechargeable Battery

The VT04 has a rechargeable Li-ion battery.

Note

New batteries are not fully charged. Two to ten normal

charging/discharging cycles may be required before the battery

charges to its maximum capacity.

Before using the VT04 for the first time, charge the battery:

1. Plug the ac power supply into an ac wall outlet.

2. Connect the micro-USB connector to the VT04. See Figure 2.

While the battery is charging, shows on the display and the

status LED is red. When charged, shows on the display and the

status LED is green. The typical charge time from 100 % discharged

to 100 % charge is 5 to 6 hours.

Note

Make sure the Product is near room temperature before you connect

it to the charger. See the charging temperature specification. Do not

charge in hot or cold places. Charging in extreme temperatures

reduces the battery pack’s ability to hold a charge.

Button Operation

Two functions are accessed directly from the buttons: Blending/Capture and

Save. The arrow buttons are used for menu navigation.

Image Blending

Image blending makes it easier to understand infrared images through the use

of an aligned visible image and infrared image. The Product captures a visible

image with each infrared image to exactly show the target area and more

effectively share it with others.

To use the blending function:

1. Push until shows in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.

2. Use /to adjust the blending from 0 % to 100 %.

The blend options are shown in Figure 3.

Visual Image Alignment Control

The image blending overlay and the visual camera are positioned above each

other in the VT Series. This vertical parallax will change with distance to your

object. To correct the parallax for a near or far distance you have a visual

image alignment control. See Figure 4.

To toggle the control between a near object or far object:

1. Push NEAR () for a measurement distance from 15 cm to 23 cm

(6 in to 9 in).

2. Push FAR () or a measurement distance further than 23 cm/9 in.

The Near or Far icon shows in the upper left corner of the display.
