Fiber optic noncontact stand alone temperature sensors to serve a wide range of applications
Modline 6 Highlights
- Rugged fiber optic measurement systems
- External user interface provides access to sensor settings and temperature indication from bright LED display
- Several models: 62 Series, 6G Series, 6R Series (Operates in 2 colour mode or ratio mode)
- 62 and 6G series include background compensation capabilities
- Modline 6 infrared thermometers permit measurement of targets in harsh industrial environments that are otherwise inaccessible by non-fiber optic thermometers
- Fiber cable rated to 315ºC (600ºF) available on selected models
- Simultaneous analog and digital outputs
Modline 6 fiber optic infrared thermometers consist of a rugged fiber optic cable, plus re-imaging lens. The assembly is connected to an electronics housing containing the detector, processing electronics, brightly lit LED user interface/display, and termination connections for field wiring.
Modline 6 infrared thermometers maintain high accuracy over the ambient operating temperature range from 0º to 60ºC (32º to 140ºF) for the electronics housing.
The fixed focus re-imaging lens consists of a small stainless steel cylindrical housing and lens assembly. The re-imaging lens accommodates an air-purge accessory to prevent lens contamination and the fiber optic cable is protected by metal armor. The assembly accommodates a small bend radius for threading through tight spaces. The optional high temperature sensing head/cable option extends the temperature range to 315ºC (600ºF).
The 62-1610 sensor, specifically designed with customized accessories for measuring glass temperature from 750º to 1675ºC (1382º to 3047ºF), permits measurement of melter, refiner, regenerator, and forehearth temperatures.
