Application Note

2 Fluke Corporation 15 powerful applications for the Fluke Visual IR Thermometer
Images portrayed are actual images from
Fluke Visual IR Thermometers. Proper
PPE Gear should be worn at all times.
2. Overheated motor output
This image reflects a motor that may be
overheated based on the center point
measurement of 54.8 °C.
The combination of the thermal heat
map and field of view in tight spaces
is powerful orientation when trouble-
shooting and communicating needed
repairs to others.
3. Thermal inspection of bearing
The visual IR thermometer can be used
to scan bearings to compare tempera-
ture readings with past inspections or
with other bearings operating under
similar conditions. Establishing
temperature benchmarks with the
Fluke Visual IR Thermometer can
become an important part of your
preventive maintenance regimen.
Scan large electrical panels in
seconds to find potential faults
that generate heat, such as
loose connections, imbalance or
overloading.
Notice how the visual IR
thermometer not only shows an
apparent hot spot on a breaker,
but the digital image also shows
the exact location where the
potential problem lies.
