FAQ's of Infrared Temperature Sensor PyroCouple:
Q: How does the PyroCouple Infrared Temperature Sensor measure temperature without contact?
A: The PyroCouple detects infrared radiation emitted by a surface within the spectral range of 8 to 14 m. By analyzing this infrared energy, it accurately determines the surface temperature without needing to physically touch the object, making it suitable for monitoring moving or hard-to-reach targets.
Q: What types of analog outputs are available with this sensor?
A: This sensor provides multiple analog output options including 4-20mA, 0-10V, and J or K thermocouple types, facilitating compatibility with a wide variety of industrial control and data acquisition systems.
Q: When should I consider requesting a custom emissivity setting?
A: A custom emissivity setting is recommended if you are measuring surfaces with known emissivity values different from the standard 0.95, such as highly reflective or specific process materials, to maintain optimal accuracy in temperature readings.
Q: Where can the PyroCouple Infrared Sensor be installed?
A: The sensor can be installed in various industrial and laboratory settings. It mounts securely using supplied nuts or brackets and its compact size allows for installation in space-constrained areas. Its IP65 rating ensures suitability for dusty or wet environments.
Q: What is the process for installing and wiring the sensor?
A: Installation involves mounting the sensor using fixed nuts or brackets. Wiring is straightforward with either flying leads or a connector block. The sensor supports 2-wire, 3-wire, and thermocouple-compatible interfaces, allowing integration into most standard control panels.
Q: How does the PyroCouple sensor benefit industrial users?
A: Its non-contact measurement capability keeps equipment safe and maintenance minimal, while offering high accuracy and fast response for real-time control. The rugged design, compliance with CE and RoHS, and customizable features further add to its adaptability and reliability in industrial settings.
