PyroEpsilon infrared (IR) temperature gauge CALEX

Description

PyroEpsilon is a simple infrared temperature sensor with adjustable emission power. Ideally, the target should be partially reflective. Easy to use and indispensable for checking the temperature of various media, surfaces in production or general use. It is most commonly used in the food industry to measure the temperature of equipment, in the paper industry, in the electrical industry, to measure the outer layer of heaters, tanks and pipes.

The emissivity setting is adjustable via a 2-wire 4 … 20 mA input and can be continuously adjusted by a variable 4 … 20 mA source. For manual adjustment of emissivity, the PyroTune emission controller is available (optional). The sensor is also compatible with PLC outputs or controllers that can provide a 4 … 20 mA signal. If no 4 … 20 mA input is available, the emissivity setting is reset to 0.95 so that the sensor will only be suitable for measuring non-reflective non-metallic materials or painted metal.

Benefits

• choice of precision optics for large or small targets

PyroEpsilon use cases

Food industry

Temperature measurement of food production equipment, including baking trays and plastic moulds. Surface temperature of PTFE-coated cylinders.

 

Paper industry

Use for measuring the temperature of glossy paper.

 

Plastics industry

Thermoforming temperatures, pre-inflation temperature of plastic bottle tubes.

 

Electricity industry

Measuring the temperature of painted surfaces in switchgear cabinets and generator enclosures.

 

For coating pipes

Measuring the temperature of the pipe during coating, where the emissivity of the surface increases during the process.

 

For monitoring

For example, painted bearing housings, drive shafts, cylinders and gearboxes. Measuring the turbine casing temperature. Monitoring the temperature of the external surface of boilers and pipes.
