Non-contact infrared temperature sensor

The PyroUSB sensor connects directly to a PC via a USB cable and operates without the need for any additional hardware or power supply. It displays temperature in numerical format and on a simulated scrolling chart. Users can set the temperature range and emissivity, compensate for reflected energy, apply filtering to fluctuating temperatures and use peak or valley-hold processing to measure hot or cold objects on conveyors.

The CalexSoft software (included) can record measurements at any interval from one second to one week and can be pre-programmed to start and finish at any time or date. Audible/visual alarms can be set to warn that the temperature is too high or too low.

The sensor is equipped with a 2-wire, 4-20 mA output, which is linear with temperature. It can measure temperatures from -40 to 1000 °C.

The polished stainless steel sensor is IP65 rated, making it suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications. There are three distance/spot size options, mounting brackets and water/air-cooled jackets for hot and dusty environments. For paper and textile mills, an air-purge collar can be fitted to keep the lens clean.
