LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and
service. The warranty period is two years and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs, and services
are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke
authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries, or to any product which, in Fluke's opinion,
has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation
or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional specifications
for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. Fluke does not warrant that software
will be error free or operate without interruption.

Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers only but
have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is available only if
product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the applicable international price.
Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased
in one country is submitted for repair in another country.

Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair, or
replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the warranty
period.

To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center to obtain return authorization
information, then send the product to that service center, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance
prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty repair, the product will
be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke determines that failure was caused by
neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident, or abnormal condition of operation or handling, including
overvoltage failures caused by use outside the product’s specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical
components, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work.
Following repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the
repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping Point).

THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF
DATA,

Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every
buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other decision-maker of
competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.

Introduction

The RSE300 and RSE600 Thermal Imagers (the Product or Imager) are stationary, infrared imaging cameras for
use in many applications. These applications include equipment troubleshooting, preventive and predictive
maintenance, building diagnostics, and research and development.



The Imager can stream live infrared and IR-Fusion technology video to a PC that has SmartView
installed or to the Fluke Connect app (where available). SmartView is a high-performance, professional software

suite for quality analysis and reporting. The Imager also works with MATLAB



and LabVIEW.

Users Manual

• See emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects result in lower than
actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn hazard.

• Use only the external mains power supply included with the Product.

• Do not put metal objects into connectors.

• Use only specified replacement parts.

• Have an approved technician repair the Product.

W Caution

Storage and/or continual operation of the Imager in extreme ambient temperature conditions
can result in temporary interruption of operation. If this occurs, let the Imager stabilize (cool
down or warm up) before you resume operation.

The internal temperature of the Product
is above the top threshold value.

Wait for the Product to warm up.
Or
Connect the RJ45 connector end of the
ethernet cable to the ethernet switch and
the M12 connector end to the Product.

Move the Product to a cool location.

Operation

The Imager and SmartView need a stable network connection to work properly. Set up your network without
interference from other systems. Do not connect the Imager to a Virtual Private Network (VPN). SmartView is a
data-intensive application. Use of other data-intensive applications (streaming audio or video) on the PC or the
same network system can cause loss of data.

Note

All thermal imagers need sufficient warm-up time for accurate temperature measurements and best
image quality. Warm-up time can vary by model and environmental conditions. Although most imagers
are fully warmed up in 3 minutes to 5 minutes, wait a minimum of 10 minutes for the most accurate
temperature measurement. When you move an imager between environments with large differences in
ambient temperature, allow for additional adjustment time.

To use the Product (See Figure 1):

1. Attach the antenna.

2. Stabilize the Product either on a flat surface or a tripod.

3. Connect the RJ45 connector end of the ethernet cable to the ethernet jack on the PC.

4. Connect the M12 connector end of the ethernet cable to the Product.

5. Connect the ac plug of the M16 DC power cable (15 V dc) to a power outlet and the M16 connector to the
Product.

6. Wait for the Product to warm up and the LED indicator to show solid green.

7. Remove the lens cover.

8. Use SmartView to focus the image.

a. Type in the authorization code from the website and select Enter. (The authorization code is not case

sensitive.)

A message appears in SmartView that shows the wireless communication is enabled.

If a message appears that says the authorization code is invalid:

Maintenance

Cleaning and lens care are the only maintenance required to the Product.

Clean the Case

Clean the case with a damp cloth and a weak soap solution. Do not use abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or solvents
to clean the case.

Lens Care

W Caution

To prevent damage to the infrared lens:

• Carefully clean the infrared lens. The lens has a delicate anti-reflective coating.

• Do not clean the lens too vigorously because this can damage the anti-reflective coating.

To clean the lens:

1. Use a pressurized can of air or a dry nitrogen-ion gun, if available, to blow off the particulates from the lens
surface.

2. Soak a lint-free cloth in a commercial lens cleaning liquid that contains alcohol, ethyl alcohol, or isopropyl
alcohol.

W Caution

To prevent damage to the case, do not get the alcohol on the case.

3. Squeeze the cloth to remove excess liquid.

4. Wipe the lens surface in one circular motion and discard the cloth.

5. If needed, repeat with a new lint-free cloth.
