PYROFIELD 32L - small and low-cost infrared camera for temperature monitoring

The new infrared camera PYROFIELD 32L from DIAS allows non-contact temperature measurements with a resolution of 32 × 31 pixels. PYROFIELD 32L is not only compact with its dimensions of 54 mm × 54 mm × 170 mm and robust thanks to degree of protection IP65, it is also extremely cost-effective. Typical applications of the mini-matrix camera are process monitoring, fire detection and object security.

The PYROLFIELD 32L IR camera operates in the temperature range from 0 °C to 200 °C at a measuring frequency of 15 frames per second. There are two different lenses available, the standard lens with a viewing angle of 40° × 39° and a wide variation with 70° × 68°. There are in addition to the standard compact housing with IP65 degree of protection, other housing options available, for example with water or air purge.

For data transmission, the device has an Ethernet interface. The free software, PYROSOFT Compact, is also included. It allows to visualize the camera's data and analyze them.

New fiber-optic pyrometers PYROSPOT Series 11 - fully operable from the outside

With the PYROSPOT Series 11 DIAS Infrared GmbH brings four new pyrometer for industrial applications on the market. The devices offer the advantage, that they already include a large display and can be operated comfortably with keys. The emissivity and other parameters can be set directly on the device. The IP65 housing ensures operation even under harsh environmental conditions. Other advantages of the new pyrometer are small spot sizes of 0.7 mm, quick response time of 2 ms, an integrated LED and laser-light pilot and an RS485 interface. Typical applications are in the steel, ceramic and metal industries and in soldering and in the furnaces to be found.

New sensors for demanding applications for an attractive exhibition price

DIAS Infrared GmbH announces a further extension of their product portfolio of pyroelectric sensors. The sensors are suitable because of their excellent signal to noise ratio especially for demanding applications in gas sensing and spectrometry, but they can certainly also be used for special applications in temperature measurement and personal detection.

The previously offered Single Element Detector to be supplemented by a new sensor in TO39 housing that has an integrated operational amplifier and the current operation is working, however, is the usual pin-sensors in voltage operation, since it does not require a negative voltage.

New in the product line are sensors in the TO8 housing, working in the current operation and will be offered both with and without thermal compensation. Possibly two to four channels, which can be equipped with different filter windows in the spectral range between 1.3 microns and more than 25 microns according to the customer.

For all of the pyroelectric sensors of DIAS Infrared GmbH from Single Element Detector to the linear sensor array with 256 pixels there are attractive exhibiton prices on the SENSOR + TEST fair.

Fast pyrometer for the measurement of metallic surfaces from 50 °C

The series 10 of the digital pyrometer has now been extended to include the alternating light pyrometer PYROSPOT DP 10N.

The device is suitable for measuring temperatures from 50 °C to 1200 °C and in particular on metallic surfaces. The measurement at short wavelengths (2.0 µm to 2.8 µm) reduces errors due to emissivity variations. By using the alternating light principle results in a high reproducibility of the measurements.

The integrated LED or laser aiming light or, alternative, the through-lens sighting, enables to focus the measuring object exactly. The temperature linear standard output signal of 0/4 to 20 mA allows easy implementation in existing measuring and controlling systems. The device is equipped with integrated, galvanically isolated RS485 interface which allows parameterising and software evaluation even in bus systems. The emissivity is also adjustable via push-buttons and display directly on the device. All parameters can be easily adjusted to the application by using the comfortable parameterizing and evaluation software PYROSOFT Spot.

Fast Pyrometer PYROSPOT DGE 10N presented by DIAS

The digital pyrometers of DIAS Infrareds PYROSPOT Series 10 has now been extended with the fast pyrometers PYROSPOT DGE 10N.

The devices are suitable for temperature from 100 °C on various surfaces such as metals, graphite and ceramic. The measurement at short wavelengths (2.0 µm to 2.6 µm) reduces errors due to emissivity variations. With a response time of just 2 ms (t95), these pyrometers are suitable for very fast measurements. The vario optics with quartz protective glass allows small spot sizes (distance ratio of 100:1 and 200:1).
