FLUKE RSE600 Mounted Infrared Camera User Manual
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 R&D software installed. SmartView R&D is a high- performance, professional software suite for quality analysis and reporting. The Imager also works with MATLAB and LabVIEW

Operation
The Imager and SmartView R&D 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 R&D is a data-intensive application. Use of other dataintensive 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. Fluke recommends a warm-up period of 60 minutes for optimal performance
