Unlock Precision Glass Temperature Measurement

The PyroCube G measures glass surface temperatures from 100°C to 2400°C.

Its measurement wavelength of 5 µm provides maximum accuracy when measuring glass. At this wavelength, reflections have the smallest possible effect on the accuracy of the measurement.

PCU-GH models have a fast response time of 10 ms, making it possible to measure glass gob temperature.

Features

Temperature ranges from 100°C to 2400°C
Measured spot as small as 2.2 mm
Response time as fast as 10 ms
Continuous LED sighting shows the position and size of the measured spot while readings are being taken
Multilingual touch screen interface (optional)

Target size and distance are critical to accuracy for most IR thermometers

The given measured spot size contains 90% of the energy detected by the sensor. We normally recommend the target is at least twice as large as the given measured spot for maximum accuracy. Accuracy specifications are valid up to the maximum distances shown.

Touch Screen Interface

Optional wall-mounted display, data logging, configuration and alarm unit for FibreCube sensor

Read the temperature
The large, bright backlit temperature display is visible from a distance and turns red in an alarm condition.
Record the temperature history
See a graph of the measured temperature, and log more than a year of data to a single MicroSD Card. The data is stored in a simple text format that can be imported easily into Excel.
Configure the sensor
All the sensor’s configuration settings can be adjusted via the intuitive touch screen interface.
Trigger temperature alarms
Two alarms are individually configurable as high, low, band or error. The screen turns bright red to signal an alarm condition, and the built-in 24 V, 1 A relay outputs can be connected directly to alarm sounders and beacons.
Accurate measurements, even with reflections of hot objects
Place the sensor outside an oven or furnace and accurately measure the temperature of objects inside by using the Reflected Energy Compensation feature.
