Accurately measure temperatures from 0°C to 1000°C with PyroNFC

The PyroNFC is a general-purpose infrared temperature sensor. It measures non-reflective non-metals straight out of the box using default settings.

The surface temperature of materials including paper, thick plastics, wood and manufactured board, painted surfaces, tarmac, bulk materials, food, pharmaceuticals and organic materials is measured accurately and easily.

The sensor is fully configurable for emissivity setting, averaging, peak or valley hold processing, reflected energy compensation, alarm and more, via NFC (Near Field Communications) with the free PyroNFC app for Apple or Android devices.

Features

Non-contact industrial temperature sensor
Fully configurable via iOS / Android app
Choice of voltage or thermocouple outputs
Simultaneous open collector alarm output
Measures from 0°C to 1000°C, accurately and consistently
Extremely small, with side-entry cable: ideal for mounting in tight spaces
Fast response time: 125 ms
Low cost, high performance
Operates in ambient temperatures up to 80°C without cooling
Form factor optimised or brake testing applications, plus many others

Target size and distance are critical to accuracy for most IR thermometers

The diagram shows the measured spot size for 90% of the detected energy. Sensors can measure longer distances than the diagram shows, and the accuracy is not affected by the measurement distance in clean air. This is because the PyroNFC detects only the wavelengths of infrared radiation that are not absorbed by the atmosphere.

PyroNFC - App Configurable Pyrometer

The PyroNFC is the world's first NFC configurable pyrometer for non-contact surface temperature measurement in industrial, test and laboratory applications.

This video outlines the features of the PyroNFC and the free app for configuring the sensor and reading the measured temperature using an NFC Android smartphone.

Typical Applications

Brake Testing

The PyroNFC fits in restricted spaces such as between a wheel and a disc brake. It can measure the temperature of the brake disc at the rim or the hub.

Condition Monitoring

The sensor's low cost makes it ideal for measuring many points, and it is possible for the operator to check the temperature at each location with a smartphone with no need for a separate local display
