Take Accurate Readings with the PyroCube XS Infrared Sensor

The PyroCube XS is a range of infrared temperature sensors with tightly focused optics that can measure very small areas.

Applications include measuring individual electronic component temperatures on a circuit board, and plastic welding where the seam is very narrow.

Built-in LED sighting precisely illuminates the exact area being measured by the sensor.

Both models are available with or without a touch screen interface.


Features

  • Temperature ranges from 50°C to 500°C
  • Measured spot as small as 0.7 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)
  • Not designed or approved for fever detection

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


     

Diagrams show the diameter of the measured spot at each distance, for 90% energy. The accuracy specifications for the PyroCube sensor 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.
