Temperature Measurement

November 2014 Temperature Measurement

The new PyroPen U from Calex Electronics is a miniature infrared thermometer that conveniently clips into the pocket, just like a pen. It will measure temperatures from -20 to 500°C with a resolution of 0,1° and provide instantaneous, maximum, minimum and average readings in °C or °F. Adjustable emissivity allows the unit to measure different materials and a built-in laser makes sighting simple.

This new model has memory for storing up to 100 readings that can be downloaded later using the CalexSoft software and USB cable provided. It can also be left connected to a PC for continuous real-time data acquisition and graph plotting. The data is then available to export in a comma separated variable (CSV) format to other programs as required.

Each unit is supplied in a foam-padded hard case as standard, which helps protect it when not in use and provides a neat way to store the software and interface cable.

The PyroPen U is particularly useful for test, inspection and maintenance applications in industries such as food and beverage, automotive, paper and packaging and HVAC. However, when hooked up to a PC the PyroPen U is also ideal for applications such as machine monitoring, laboratory work, electronics design and R&D.

PyroPen U is RoHS-compliant and conforms to EN 61326-1:2006 for EMC. It is designed and built by Calex Electronics in the UK, a company with more than 30 years’ experience of non-contact infrared temperature measurement.
