Calex Electronics PyroMini infrared pyrometer

The PyroMini infrared pyrometer from Calex Electronics is an infrared temperature sensor with a built-in, touch-screen display and data-logging facility.

Its sensing head measures 18 x 45 mm, making it suitable for mounting in tight spaces. The head is capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 180°C without water or air cooling.

Manufactured from stainless steel 316 and sealed to IP65, the PyroMini sensing head is suitable for the food and pharmaceutical industries, as well as automotive manufacture and other industrial measurement and control applications.

In addition, the sensing head uses a low-noise interconnecting cable, which is available in lengths from 1 to 30 m, that makes it resistant to interference from external electromagnetic fields and resistant to noise when being used on dynamic moving machines such as mounting on robot arms.

The sensor’s backlit, touch-screen interface provides a large, bright display of the measured temperature in digital format as well as in graphical view, showing the history of the measured temperature, date and time. It also enables operators to fully configure the sensor, including setting the device’s temperature range between -20 and 1000°C.

When in data-logging mode, the PyroMini records the temperature-related data to a MicroSD card, providing means to record process temperatures for quality assurance and traceability. The data can easily be retrieved from the factory floor for analysis or QA data recording or storage.

Output options include an analog 4 to 20 mA temperature-related retransmission, RS485 Modbus and two alarm relay outputs.
