The IRI 1002 is a highly cost-effective online imager for fixed mounting and continuous operation with a price tag of just GBP 3000.

Towcester-based, Irisys designs and manufactures array-based detectors.

Its products include the successful and low cost IRI 1001 handheld thermal imager.

The IRI1002 online imager uses the well-proven Irisys proprietary pyroelectric array that provides a 256-pixel image in real time (6Hz).

It is a fully radiometric instrument that will find applications in fixed condition monitoring, process control, critical vessel monitoring and intelligent security.

In process control, the comparatively low resolution makes it very simple for pixel-by-pixel temperature data to be automatically monitored and action taken when scene temperature exceeds preset parameters.

The imager can be considered as a multipoint pyrometer with a wide (20-degree) field of view and 256 individual temperature measurement points.

The IRI1002 is fully self-contained, needing only a 12V DC power supply.

It outputs are either RS232 or CANbus, enabling it to be interfaced with up to 30 other sensors.

These features make it ideal for critical vessel monitoring which is required from several angles.

Sales Manager, David Furley points out that this imager changes all preconceptions about thermal imaging.

The unprecedented low price makes it suitable for many process and quality control applications where a single point pyrometer may have been previously considered.

It is envisaged that the product will appeal in particular to system integrators able to provide turnkey solutions to the many companies expressing interest in thermal imaging.
