MobIRŪ M8 - small, low cost, and many functions - THE infrared camera for professional application

DIAS Infrared GmbH (Dresden) has introduced a new camera to their exiting portfolio of infrared instruments. The MobIRŪ M8 is a portable infrared thermal imaging camera and aimed at entry level users as well as at professional users of infrared measurement. Typical applications include building Thermographic work, electrical checks and maintenance inspections of mechanical equipment where non-contact temperature measurement can be beneficial to maintenance programs and survey work.

The MobIRŪ M8 is a fully portable camera, weighing only 350 g. The camera is not only small and handy, but has a variety of innovative features including infrared video recording up to 30 minutes, the ability to add audio and text comments to an image and a built-in laser for target identification.

The MobIRŪ M8 works using an uncooled Microbolometer array with 160 x 120 pixels and has a measuring range from -20 °C to 250 °C, which can be optionally extended to 350 °C. The thermal images and visual images are stored either in the camera's internal memory or on a mini SD card.

The camera can be configured for various applications using the built-in functions and the Thermographer can add moveable measurement points to the image and set temperature alarms and isotherms. A full collection of PYROSOFT software packages are available for different levels of sophistication to aid processing of the thermal images. The Compact version is designed for off-line editing, measurement and easy report writing while the Professional version has enhanced features with real-time capture, video replay, alarming, trends, profiling and many more useful tools.

New pyroelectric linear arrays for spectrometry

DIAS Infrared GmbH produces high sensitive infrared detectors for many years. While detectors with one to four spectral channels in TO can housing has been dominating recently, now applications for linear arrays with more than 128 pixels are upcoming. Typical pitch of such sensors is 100 ĩm and 50 ĩm respectively. For spectrometry application DIAS Infrared GmbH has developed the types 128LTx SP0.5, 128LTx SP1.0 and 256LTI SP0.5 which have longer sensitive elements.

Common narrow and wide band-pass filters can be used as well as linear variable filters. To be able to cover a wider spectral range when linear variable filters are used, now sensor arrays with two side by side placed lines are available. Each of the two channels can be equipped with a separate filter. Both channels have separate output pins. These dual line sensors are available as types 2x128LTx SP0.5 and 2x256LTI SP0.5.

Change pyrometer settings easily? Use the new DHP 1040 from DIAS Infrared!

In these days DIAS Infrared brings a high innovative product to the market – the DHP 1040, a mobile device, which enables the customer to program pyrometer settings on the go.

The advantages are obvious: The customer can work on-site without any computer needed. You can connect pyrometers with RS485 and USB interface to the DHP 1040. Furthermore it has a full graphic OLED display and can be used very comfortably with five buttons. Another advantage is the power supply, which is realised with standard batteries. If you connect a pyrometer with USB interface, no additional power supply for the pyrometer is neccessary.

It is highly recommended to buy the DHP 1040 if you have many pyrometers working in your project.

Hot! DIAS Infrared now offers flame pyrometers

The pyrometers of DIAS Infrareds PYROSPOT Series 10 will be complemented with the digital flame pyrometer PYROSPOT DSR 10NF. It enables temperature measurement of lighting flames with variable amount of sooty particles and is especially designed for industrial applications.

Special characteristics of the flame pyrometer are a very short response time of only 5 ms (t95) and a through-lens-sighting for the exact positioning. It is also available with a green LED or red laser aiming.

Furthermore the device is in a solid compact housing and has a protective glass made of quartz glass for its vario optic. The soot factor is adjustable via push-buttons and displayed directly on the device. All parameters can be easily adjusted to the application by using the comfortable software PYROSOFT Spot.

Typical pyrometer applications are the measurement of lighting flames, carbon dust and oil combustion systems as well as waste incinerators and combustors.

Fast, compact ratio pyrometer from DIAS Infrared GmbH

Company DIAS Infrared GmbH introduces the interesting ratio (2-colour) pyrometer PYROSPOT DSR 10N as consistent extension of the PYROSPOT pyrometer series 10. Such ratio pyrometers are operating with 2 different, adjacent wavelengths thus enables the non-contact temperature measurement of "grey bodies" independent on the emissivity of these objects.

There are a lot of applications in industry and research in which only a 2-colour pyrometer can solve the measurement task successfully. The solid design of the compact housing, the focusable optics with protection window and the isolated interface RS485 show the industrial strength of these pyrometers. The short response time of only 5 ms (t95) and the automatic contamination surveillance of the optics mark a novelty in this class of pyrometers.

Of course this 2-colour pyrometer can also be used as a common pyrometer in 1-colour mode. The very easy setting of the emissivity slope (or the emissivity) via push buttons and display at the instrument makes this pyrometer exceptionally user friendly. The exact alignment can be done with a LED or laser targeting light or a trough-lens view finder.

Part of the standard delivery is the software PYROSPOT which enables the remote parametrizing of the instrument as well as data logging and data analyzing and integration in fieldbus systems.

Applications for these ratio pyrometers can be found in all industry lines with high temperature processes between 600 °C and 3000 °C.
