Small-size infrared temperature sensor for industrial equipment

RS Components has a new RS Pro low-cost and high-performance infrared temperature sensor. Available at an attractive price, main features of the device include its extremely small size – 31mm x 30mm high – with side-entry cable, making it perfect for mounting in areas where space is restricted. The device also offers a fast 125ms response time, built-in temperature display and controls. The unit highlights two simultaneous and configurable outputs: selectable voltage-output ranges from 0V to 5V, 1V to 5V or 0V to 10VDC, proving a linear voltage output with measured temperature; and an open collector alarm output for temperature threshold and hysteresis. Other points of the sensor include temperature measurement from 0C to +1000C; an accuracy of ±1.5% of reading or ±1.5C; IP65 protection, and operation over the ambient temperature range from 0 to +70°C. The unit also meets industrial EMC standards, including EN61326-1 and EN61326-2-3 for use in electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory applications.
