RS PRO V Output Signal UART, USB Infrared Temperature Sensor, 1m Cable, 0°C to +1000°C

RS PRO Infrared Temperature Sensors

Introducing the high-quality RS PRO non-contact IR Thermal Infrared Temperature Sensor. The infrared temperature sensor is extremely small, with a side-entry cable making it ideal for mounting in tight spaces. Featuring configurable parameters for temperature range, alarm output and emissivity settings to give full control of temperature sensing requirements. The infrared temperature sensor measures the average temperature within a spot.

The size of the spot will depend on the distance between the IR sensor and the surface. The sensor's measuring range is very wide, it can be positioned very close to the target surface, to measure a small area, or used at long distances measuring a larger spot. The accuracy of the sensor is not affected by the measurement distance.

Features and Benefits

You May Also Need

• The mounting bracket RS Stock no: 905-8777 provides fixed or adjustable mounting for aiming the sensor.


• The air purge collar RS Stock no: 905-8770 helps stop dust and condensation from settling on the lens allowing the sensor to maintain accurate measurements.

Application Information

Materials such as paper, plastics, rubber, wood, tarmac, food, pharmaceuticals and organic matter can all be measured using the RS PRO infrared temperature sensor straight from the box with no need to configure any settings. Painted metal surfaces are also easy to measure.
The small size of the RS PRO infrared temperature sensor makes it ideal for fitting in restricted spaces, such as between a wheel and disc brake. The temperature of the brake disc can be measured at either the rim or hub.

Measure Objects on a Conveyor

Gaps between objects on a conveyor can be ignored with the included Peak and Valley Hold function. The voltage output will ignore low or high readings for a chosen period, so the sensor does not display or output the higher or lower temperature if there is a gap.

Measure Objects in Ovens and Furnaces

The included Reflected Energy Compensation feature provides improved accuracy when measuring objects inside an oven or furnace, with the sensor positioned outside the hot environment and aimed in.
