Raytek's upgraded compact infrared pyrometers

September 2012 Temperature Measurement

The Raytek MI3 pyrometer series represents a new generation of performance and innovation in noncontact temperature monitoring. The MI3 miniature infrared sensors combine innovative new features to suit almost any industrial application. One of the notable new features is the ability to measure temperatures up to 1800°C using different heads

The ability remains to plug-and-play different head types, as the heads identify themselves to the unit on connection. Unit programming via the keypad or via USB interface makes set-up easy and units can connect directly onto chosen communications protocols saving analog I/O and the associated cable requirements.

For installations where more than one measurement point is required, the MI3 series provides low installation per point. OEM users will benefit from the stand-alone version of the MI3 which allows the direct wiring of up to 32 sensors to a PLC. The field mounted control unit is supplied in an IP65 stainless steel housing with an integrated digital temperature read out.

Precision high resolution silicon optics provides a cost effective range of optical resolutions. A wide range of sensing head temperature ranges and spectral responses, USB 2.0 interface and a programmable electronics platform create a powerful sensor that solves challenging OEM applications.
