Invest in accurate, reliable non-contact temperature sensing today
The PyroMini Series is a range of miniature non-contact infrared temperature sensors with separate electronics modules.
All models have an adjustable emissivity setting and are capable of measuring a wide variety of target materials, including food, paper, textiles, plastics, leather, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, rubber, coal and asphalt.
General-purpose PyroMini models measure non-reflective non-metals, or painted or coated metals, at temperatures from -20°C to 1000°C.
PyroMini 2.2 models have a short measurement wavelength. They are ideal for measuring reflective surfaces such as uncoated iron and steel, as well as many other high-temperature applications. They are capable of measuring temperatures from 100°C to 2000°C.
The optional touch screen interface provides temperature indication, alarms, sensor configuration and data logging to MicroSD Card. The optional high-temperature sensing head on general-purpose models may be used in ambient temperatures of up to 180°C without cooling. The low-noise cable on high ambient temperature models is resistant to interference from movement, so it is ideal for mounting on moving objects such as robot arms.
A choice of optics is available to measure small or large targets at short or long distances, and there is a choice of 4-20 mA, RS485 Modbus and alarm relay outputs.
Features
- Two-part sensor with miniature sensing head and configurable electronics module
- Touch screen (optional) for temperature display and configuration
- Screen turns bright red in alarm condition for maximum visibility
- Adjustable emissivity setting on all models
- Data logging to MicroSD Card (optional) on touch screen models
- 4 to 20 mA or RS485 Modbus outputs
- Alarm relay outputs rated 24 V DC (optional) - no need for separate trip amplifier
- Maximum, minimum, average and instantaneous readings, peak or valley hold, reflected energy compensation
Touch Screen (-CRT and -BRT Models)
The optional backlit touch screen interface mounted in the lid of the electronics module provides a large, bright display of the measured temperature, as well as controls allowing full configuration of the sensor. The graph view shows the history of the measured temperature. In alarm conditions, the display changes colour to provide an immediate and obvious alarm indication. Alarm modes and levels can be configured via the touch screen.
Data Logging (-CRT and -BRT Models)
The PyroMini can be used as a standalone data logger.
PyroMini -CRT and -BRT models include a MicroSD card slot for data logging, which can be configured via the touch screen interface. The user can select the sample rate and the number of samples to be taken and schedule the data logging to start at a certain time.
With a 2 GB card, the user can store 28.4 million readings, which provides almost 1 year’s worth of data at the fastest possible sample rate of 1 per second.
Data is stored on the MicroSD card in .csv format and can be viewed and edited easily using spreadsheet software. Alarm events can also be logged to the MicroSD Card.
A MicroSD card with SD card adapter is available as an optional accessory.
The MicroSD card slot and battery holder are located on the touch screen circuit board in the lid of the PyroMini. Readings are time and date stamped using the sensor’s internal clock. The clock is reset when the power is disconnected, or it will continue if the optional battery is fitted.
