Product type
Infrared temperature sensors are devices that measure the temperature of an object without direct contact by detecting the infrared radiation emitted by the object. These sensors are typically made of materials such as thermopiles or pyroelectric materials, which convert infrared radiation into an electrical signal that can be interpreted as temperature. They are widely used in various applications where non-contact temperature measurement is essential.
| Measurement range | -50°C to 1000°C |
| Response time | Typically less than 1 second |
| Output type | Analog or digital output |
| Accuracy | ±1°C to ±2°C depending on the model |
| Field of view | Typically 1:1 to 50:1 ratio |
| Power supply | 5V to 24V DC |
When selecting an infrared temperature sensor, consider the measurement range and accuracy required for your application. It's important to specify the output type, as some applications may require analog signals while others may benefit from digital outputs. Additionally, check the response time to ensure it meets your operational needs. Certifications such as CE or RoHS compliance may also be relevant depending on the industry standards you need to adhere to.
