MI3 Series infrared temperature-measurement system

This company’s MI3 Series infrared temperature-measurement system now includes several new high-temperature sensing heads (M13 1M and M13 2M). These are constructed of IP65 (NEMA 4) stainless steel and have a separate communication module. They provide a 1-µm spectral response (offering a measurement range of 500–1,800°C), and 1.6- µm spectral response (250–1,400°C). The sensing heads are available with standard laser sighting, and provide fast (10- µs) response time. The M13MCOMM multi---channel communication box supports up to four sensing heads in a DIN-mountable package. All operating parameters can be accessed and configured through the standard user interface, or with the company’s DataTemp software via a USB 2.0 digital interface. A range of network communication interface options, including RS-485, Modbus, and Profibus, enables seamless integration into existing control equipment or OEM systems. A user-programmable alarm output enables alarm, control redundancy, and simple on/off capabilities.
