Reliable Measurement in Compact SpacesThe PyroMini is engineered for challenging industrial settings, excelling in environments where space is limited and high accuracy is essential. Its miniature sensor head design allows installation in ovens, dryers, and laboratory setups without intrusive modifications. Fixed mounting brackets are standard, and adjustable accessories are available to suit your application's specific needs.
Flexible Output & Easy IntegrationWhether your control system requires analog (4-20 mA), digital (RS485 Modbus), or alarm relay outputs, the PyroMini supports seamless integration. The electronics module is designed for rapid setup, with an optional touch screen display for straightforward configuration, real-time parameter monitoring, and alarm management.
Optimized for Durability & SafetyDesigned with IP65 protection and constructed from industrial-standard materials, the PyroMini resists dust, water jets, and harsh conditions. Optional cooling jackets and air purge collars extend its operational range, while compliance with CE and RoHS standards guarantees safety and quality in demanding environments.
FAQ's of PyroMini Miniature Infrared Temperature Sensor with Separate Electronics Module:
Q: How does the PyroMini sensor measure temperature without contact?
A: The PyroMini uses infrared technology to detect emitted energy from the target surface, allowing it to accurately measure temperature without needing to touch the object. This method is ideal for applications where contact is impractical or could affect the process.
Q: What are the main output options available for signal integration?
A: The sensor supports analog 4-20 mA current loop, RS485 Modbus digital communication, and an alarm relay output, enabling direct interface with a wide range of industrial control systems and monitoring solutions.
Q: When should I consider using optional cooling or air purge accessories?
A: If your process environment exposes the sensor head to temperatures above 70C (up to 120C with cooling) or excessive dust, optional air or water cooled jackets and air purge collars help maintain stable performance and prevent contamination.
Q: Where can the PyroMini be installed in my facility?
A: Thanks to its ultra-compact sensor head and extendable cable (up to 30 m), the PyroMini is well-suited for installation in confined spaces, high-temperature zones like ovens and dryers, and any area requiring precise, non-contact monitoring such as laboratories or sensitive process lines.
Q: What is the process for configuring the sensor parameters and alarms?
A: Configuration is straightforward with the optional touch screen display, which allows users to adjust temperature settings, alarm points, and calibration parameters directly on the electronics module, minimizing setup time and potential for error.
Q: How does this sensor benefit applications in food or pharmaceutical industries?
A: The PyroMini enables hygienic, precise temperature measurement with no physical contact, reducing contamination risk. Its robust IP65 protection and stainless steel construction make it suitable for cleanroom and washdown environments typical in food and pharmaceutical processing.
Q: What certifications and environmental protections does the PyroMini offer?
A: The sensor and electronics module are both rated IP65 (NEMA 4) for protection against dust and water jets, and the entire assembly meets CE marking and RoHS compliance requirements for environmental and safety assurance.
