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.
