Versatile Output Options

Choose from 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, or 0-10 V analogue output signals to easily integrate the PyroCouple sensor with most industrial controller systems. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide range of monitoring and control setups, making the sensor suitable for new installations or retrofits.

Robust Construction for Industrial Use

Encased in stainless steel with an IP65 (NEMA 4) protection rating, the sensor is built to withstand harsh industrial environments. Precision optical components guarantee consistent, repeatable measurements, while the threaded mounting facilitates secure and straightforward installation.

Reliable, Accurate Measurement

With a measurement accuracy of 1.5% of reading or 1.5C and a fast 240 ms response time, the sensor provides prompt, precise data. Its fixed emissivity setting and optimized spectral response (8 to 14 m) ensure accurate monitoring of various surfaces, supporting process control and safety.

FAQ's of PyroCouple Simple Infrared Temperature Sensor with Analogue Output:

Q: How do I install the PyroCouple Simple Infrared Temperature Sensor?

A: Installation is straightforward-secure the sensor using its M18 x 1 mm threaded mount, connect the desired output (4-20 mA, 0-5 V, or 0-10 V) to your controller system, and supply 12-24 V DC power. Follow the provided manual to ensure correct wiring and alignment.

Q: What types of industrial applications can benefit from this sensor?

A: The sensor is ideal for non-contact temperature measurement in various industrial processes, such as monitoring moving or inaccessible objects, quality control, and safety checks in manufacturing, food processing, or HVAC applications.

Q: When should I choose a specific output signal (4-20 mA, 0-5 V, or 0-10 V)?

A: Select the output type that matches your existing control system requirements. 4-20 mA is favored for long-distance transmission and noise immunity; 0-5 V or 0-10 V may suit shorter runs or specific controller inputs for interfacing flexibility.

Q: Where can I use this sensor, considering environmental factors?

A: With its IP65 (NEMA 4) rated housing and 0C to 70C operational range, the sensor is suited for use in washdown areas, factory floors, and process lines subjected to dust or water splashes, provided ambient temperatures remain within specification.

Q: What is the process for measuring temperature with the PyroCouple sensor?

A: The sensor detects infrared energy emitted by the target surface and converts it into an analogue electrical signal. Thanks to its fixed emissivity setting (0.95), it provides stable readings for most industrial materials without requiring calibration adjustments.

Q: How does the sensor's optics affect its usage?

A: The spot size of the measurement area depends on the chosen optics (2:1, 15:1, or 30:1 distance-to-spot ratio). Select optics based on the distance between the sensor and the target and the size of the object to ensure accurate measurement.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this infrared temperature sensor?

A: This sensor delivers fast, accurate, and repeatable non-contact temperature readings, enabling proactive process control, improved product quality, and enhanced safety in industrial environments while simplifying maintenance due to its robust, user-friendly design.
