NewVisual IRThermometer detects instantly

The Comtest Group, Fluke ’s authorised Test and Measurement dis- tributor for South and southern Africa, has introduced the FlukeVT04 Visual IRThermometer – the latest in troubleshooting tools with a built- in digital camera and thermal heat map overlay.The device bridges the gap between traditional IR thermometers and infrared cameras. Building on the extremely popular Fluke VT02, the VT04 adds PyroBlend Plus with a four- times sharper resolution than the VT02 and automatic alarm features. It is an ideal frontline troubleshooting tool for electrical, industrial maintenance, HVAC/R, and automotive applications. The ultra-compact Fluke VT04 is fully automatic with built-in intelligence, so issues can be detected instantly with no training required. The VT04 includes advanced alarm features for troubleshooting stubborn intermittent issues, including a hi-lo temperature alarm that flashes on the screen if the user-selected temperature goes out of the selected range; a time-lapse image capture that can be set to capture images in 30-second to one-hour intervals; and an auto-monitor alarm that initiates image capture automatically after a temperature alarm has been triggered, allowing users to automatically capture images ‒ even while theVT04 is unattended ‒ using the universal tripod mount. 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.
