Easy-to-use infrared radiation thermometers
Land Infrared has introduced a new range of compact infrared radiation thermometers for economical, easily implemented non contact temperature measurement.
More compact infrared radiation thermometer
With overall dimensions of only 18.6mm diameter x 118mm, the new miniature MF3 infrared radiation thermometer is ideal for continuous, on-line industrial applications in a tight corner
Cyclops PPM+ uses an uncooled 320 x 240 pixel, long wavelength, focal plane array detector, giving a temperature resolution better than 0.1C at 30C, and operates in the 7 to 14 micron waveband.
Apart from its compact design and light weight (just 2kg), the most striking feature of the Cyclops PPM+ is the use of a Compaq iPAQT, which displays a high definition thermal image its large colour LCD screen, clearly visible at all levels of ambient light - even bright sunlight.
Capturing and storing images and transferring them to a computer is made easy via the on-board pocket PC mounted on top of the imager, which has both USB and IRDA connectivity.
A 32MB flash card provides on-board image recording storage.
Additional storage is available on a range of optional flash cards, up to 64MB.
Reports are readily generated using LIPS PPM+, the new Land Image Processing Software system, which provides an extensive range of temperature measurement and image analysis functions.
Cyclops PPM+ is suitable for a wide range of electrical, mechanical, and building and works management applications within the 0 to 300§C temperature measurement range with accuracy to +/-2%.
Typical examples include: checking electrical connections and performance of power distribution systems; motors, bearings and couplings; integrity of insulation, blocked pipe work and other thermal faults; and hidden defects in buildings such as insulation and roofs.
