The PyroMini is a miniature non-contact infrared temperature sensor with separate electronics modules.

It features an adjustable emissivity setting and is capable of measuring a wide variety of target materials, including food, paper, textiles, plastics, leather, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, rubber, coal and asphalt.

The PyroMini measures non-reflective non-metals, or painted or coated metals, at temperatures from -20°C to 1000°C. (Should you need to measure reflective metals please contact IOThrifty for other solutions.)

Touch Screen
The optional touch screen interface provides temperature indication, alarms, sensor configuration and data logging to a MicroSD Card. The  backlit touch screen interface mounted in the lid of the electronics module provides a large, bright display of the measured temperature, as well as controls allowing full configuration of the sensor. The graph view shows the history of the measured temperature.In alarm conditions, the display changes color to provide an immediate and obvious alarm indication. Alarm modes and levels can be configured via the touch screen

High Temperature Sensing Head
The optional high-temperature sensing head on general-purpose models may be used in ambient temperatures of up to 180°C without cooling. The low-noise cable on high ambient temperature models is resistant to interference from movement, so it is ideal for mounting on moving objects such as robot arms.

A choice of optics is available to measure small or large targets at short or long distances.

Field of View

Please note: The given measured spot size contains 90% of the energy detected by the sensor. We normally recommend the target is at least twice as large as the given measured spot for maximum accuracy. Sensors may be used at longer distances than the above diagrams show. There is no maximum measurement distance in clean air, and accuracy does not change with distance; this is because the PyroMini detects only the wavelengths of infrared radiation that are not absorbed by the atmosphere.
