Images portrayed are actual images from

Fluke Visual IR Thermometers. Proper

PPE Gear should be worn at all times.

This radiant flooring was scanned to

check for the expected heat pattern.

For best results, leave the radiant system

off for 24 hours to cool down. Power

on the system again and scan the

flooring to check for the expected

thermal heat pattern.

To find potential issues in electrical-

based systems, look for cold spots

that are anomalies in the normal heat

pattern. For hydronic systems, look for

cold spots or a spreading hot spot that

could indicate the pipes are leaking.

14. Troubleshoot issues with radiant ﬂooring

The Fluke Visual IR Thermometer can

help you find a broken or damaged

window seal that is allowing a cold

or warm draft to occur around windows

or doors.

15. Heat loss from windows and doors

If a fan starts to seize up, workers in the

area may not notice until there is a burn-

ing smell. However, a quick scan with the

blended thermal heat map reveals the hot

and cold areas to help determine if the

fans are functioning as expected.
