Non-Contact Infrared Temperature Sensor with Analogue Outputs
The PyroCouple is a simple infrared temperature sensor with a choice of analogue outputs. No complicated setup is required - just connect a temperature indicator and power supply, and instantly start taking measurements. It is suitable for non-contact temperature measurement on most non-reflective non-metal surfaces, such as paper, thick plastics, asphalt, painted surfaces, food, rubber and organic materials, among many others.
PyroCouple non-contact infrared sensors measure temperatures from -20°C to 500°C and provide either a linear 4 to 20 mA output, a voltage output or a thermocouple output. This range of output signals is compatible with almost any indicator, controller, recorder, data logger etc., without the need for special interfacing or signal conditioning. They are suitable for most materials such as food, paper, textiles, plastics, leather, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, rubber, coal and asphalt; but not materials with a low emissivity, for example polished metals. Two-wire and four-wire versions are available:
Two-wire PyroCouple sensors transmit the target temperature as a 4-20 mA output and offer a simple solution for most applications.
Four-wire PyroCouple sensors transmit the target temperature as a 0-50 mV or thermocouple output (type J or K) plus the internal sensor temperature as a 4-20 mA output. This second output can be used to ensure that the sensor is being operated within the correct ambient temperature limits and prevent damage caused by overheating or overcooling. It can also be used to give an approximate indication of the air temperature surrounding the sensor.
