(Geriatrics News and Information) Everest Interscience of Tucson Arizona has released their design of a MicroMiniature Infrared Thermometer System the Model 3800 Series This is a new precision infrared temperature measurement system housed in a stainless steel case that is only 58 in diameter and 214 long about the size of a mans thumb There is no need for a remote transmitter to perform the linearization and signal conditioning for this infrared temperature sensor The electronics are all included in the miniature sensorThe Model 3800 comes in both a hightemperature formation Model 3800ZH and a lowtemperature formation Model 3800ZL The temperature range for the Model 3800ZH is 40C to 1100C or 40F to 2000F The temperature range for the lowtemperature Model 3800ZL sensors is 40C to 100C or 40F to 200F They have 10C or 10F and 01C or 01F respectively The accuracy for the Model 3800ZH is 1 for Reading 1 and 05C or 05F for the lowtemperature Model 3800ZL Their optical configuration is robust aerospacequality doublecoated Zinc Selenide Optics per Military Specification MILC13508 They operate in the 8 lt Wavelengths lt 14 Microns spectral pass band The standard field of view for the hightemperature infrared temperature sensor is 2 or 15 and 4 or 15 for the lowtemperature But they can measure target sizes from onehalf millimeter The standard output for the Model 3800s is 420 Milliamp mA They have a singlewire looppowered interface Both the power and the signal can be carried on one conductor strand This makes it impossible to fry the instrument by installing it incorrectly And optional outputs of 05 Volt Millivolt mV 10mVC for the hightemperature and 10 mVC for the lowtemperature and Type J or K Thermocouple are available Another feature of the infrared sensor is that they are 100 field interchangeable They can be switched out in the field with no need for recalibration Also it is possible to do field calibration and Emissivity adjustment These microminiature infrared temperature sensors can be fitted onto existing machinery and run continuously to monitor the temperature of an operation where maintaining a certain temperature is of extreme importance Their size makes them compact and easy to useEverest Interscience has a complete line of both handheld and fixedmounted infrared thermometers and temperature sensors in their product line Also they manufacture a portable calibration source Model 1000 that can be used to accurately verify the accuracy of any infrared thermometer All of these instruments can be viewed at the Everest website at httpwwweverestintersciencecom If you have a possible application that you would like us to review and make a model recommendation please go to httpwwweverestintersciencecomFormsapplicationanalysishtm complete our Application Analysis Form and email it to us at infoateverestintersciencecom...
