PyroNFC or PyroSigma– which sensor is best suited for my application?

The PyroNFC satisfies the need for a non-contact infra-red temperature sensor that is small enough to mount inside manufacturing machinery where space is often tight, the ambient temperature is high and the electrical interference significant. It has a lightweight anodised aluminium housing measuring just 31 mm diameter by 29 mm length and a miniature side-entry gland for the output cable. It can be ordered with a voltage output or (simulated) type K thermocouple output to suit most temperature controllers or PLCs. It also has an open-collector output for alarm indication as standard.

The PyroNFC has a built-in NFC capability and by downloading the free Apple or Android App, users can configure the sensor for different materials, change the alarm levels or simply take a temperature measurement by tapping it with their smart phone.

If, for some reason, it isn’t possible to use a smart phone, or if a continuous indication of temperature is required, then the PyroSigma provides an effective alternative.

The housing is just 1 mm longer than the PyroNFC but it has a built-in OLED display and push button controls on the top surface. There is no type K thermocouple output option but it retains the open collector output for alarm indication.

Both sensors can withstand ambient temperatures up to 70 °C without cooling and both meet the demanding EMC requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use.
