The Fluke VT02 infrared thermometer with thermal imaging capabilities takes noncontact surface temperature measurement and is used in monitoring electrical, mechanical, industrial, HVAC, and automotive systems. It measures temperature from -10 to +250 degrees C (14 to 482 degrees F) with an accuracy of + or - 2 degrees C or + or - 2% of the reading, whichever is greater, and a thermal sensitivity of less than or equal to 250mK. It has an uncooled pyroelectric ceramic sensor to capture and align thermal and visual images of the target, and it can focus at a minimum distance of 50cm. The thermal camera with LCD screen blends the visual and infrared images in 25% increments for inspection of full visual, incrementally blended, or full infrared images. The included SD memory card stores up to 10,000 images for inspection, analysis, and reporting on a computer. This thermometer is suitable for measuring the temperature of equipment, systems, and processes in electrical, mechanical, industrial, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), and automotive environments.

The Fluke VT02 has adjustable emissivity and adjustable reflected background temperature settings that compensate for heat emitted from the surface of shiny objects to increase the accuracy of the measurement. Its hot and cold spot temperature markers guide the operator to the hottest and coldest regions in the thermal image for evaluation. It has five different color palettes for different types of inspections, and comes with data analysis software. The thermometer enters sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity to help preserve battery life. The European Conformity (CE) marking indicates compliance with applicable European Union (EU) directives, and it conforms to applicable Australian standards and South Korean electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. It comes with four AA batteries, a 4GB micro SD memory card, conversion adapter to a standard SD memory card, carrying case, SmartView reporting and analysis software on CD, and instructions.

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Digital infrared thermometers measure the temperature of surfaces from a distance. They may measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or both. Infrared (IR) thermometers work by focusing the infrared radiation emitted by a surface onto a detector called a thermopile. The thermopile turns the heat into electricity, which is measured and converted to a temperature reading. The reading is then displayed on an LCD display. IR thermometers are used to measure temperature when an object is fragile, as in ear thermometers, or dangerous to be near, as in the case of industrial equipment.
