Ircon and Raytek launch infrared thermometer range

Ircon, a specialist in infrared (IR) non-contact temperature measurement, and a division of Raytek have introduced the Modline 6 Series of IR thermometers.

The new line of high-performance sensors features advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities.

It also includes one- and two-colour fibre-optic IR devices designed for harsh operating environments.

The Modline 6 Series thermometers are used in a variety of demanding industrial applications, including metal heat treating, steel production, foundries and primary and secondary glass.

The firmware now provides engineers with enhanced signal processing options, including averaging, 'peak hold' and 'valley hold'.

The thermometers also incorporate an electro-optic design, offering built-in compensation for background-reflected energy.

These features are accessed via the Modline 6 Multidrop Support Software, which is intended for remote sensor configuration and data acquisition, display and archiving.

The software includes demonstration tutorials that pictorially guide users step by step through the setup of signal processing and programmable relay functions.

Proprietary electronics support other advanced features, including two-way serial communications, remote sensor setup and configuration, the real-time display of target temperature and field calibration software.

The Modline 6 sensor includes a fibre-optic re-imaging lens interfacing to an electronics box, which has a bright light-emitting-diode display for access to key sensor functions and live temperature output.

With the Modline 6, there is no need to open the electronics box when adjustments to sensor settings are required.

Modline 6 Series thermometers use high-speed digital signal processors with an RS-485 serial data communications networking capability supporting up to 32 sensors.

System requirements for the Modline 6 Multidrop Support Software include a personal computer with a minimum of 4Mb of RAM operating under Microsoft Windows NT4/2000/XP.

The software is included at no additional cost with all new Modline 6 Series thermometers.
