Overview
The Impac® IGAR 6 Smart pyrometer can operate in one-color mode (100 to 2550°C), two-color mode (250 to 2550°C), or special smart mode.
In two-color mode (ratio method), two adjacent wavelengths are used for temperature determination. Temperature measurement is largely independent of the object’s emissivity and, in wide ranges, unaffected by dust and other contaminants. The measuring object can be smaller than the spot size. You also can measure through dirty-viewing windows up to a certain contamination point.
In Smart mode, the measurements at lower temperatures will be taken in 1-color mode and the measurements at higher temperatures will be taken in 2-color mode (ratio method).
Via InfraWin, the user can set the temperature at which the instrument automatically transitions from 1-color mode to 2-color mode. The minimum transition temperature is 250°C and the minimum transition temperature range is 30°C.
Benefits
- Measure fast processes thanks to a two milisecond response time
- Connect to a PC via an RS485 to USB connection
- Adjust parameters and analyze data using InfraWin software
- Automatically determine emissivity when using the two-color or smart mode
Features
- Complete digital core for sub-ranging and adopted analog output
- High quality optics with manual focus capability
- Robust, stainless steel sensor for harsh environments (IP65/NEMA4)
- Four-digit LED display
- Dirty-window warning
