Online Infrared Thermometer IRC Series

IRC Series

The IRC Series is a compact infrared temperature sensor that replaces a Type J or K thermocouple with the same output, or gives a 0-5 V output for noise-prone lines. It measures 0°C to 500°C without contact in a rugged IP65 housing, so OEMs and end users get easy fixed-mount continuous monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Product

An infrared temperature sensor is a compact, integrated non-contact sensor that outputs a temperature signal, often replacing a contact probe. The IRC measures 0°C to 500°C and can output Type J, Type K or 0-5 V.

Yes. The IRC can replace a Type J or K thermocouple with the same output signal, or provide a 0-5 V (10 mV/°C) output for noise-prone applications.

The IRC offers Type J, Type K or 0-5 V scaleable analog output, plus an RS485 (2-wire) digital interface for configuration.

The IRC offers an optical resolution (D:S ratio) of up to 15:1 at 90% energy.

The IRC functions in ambient temperature up to 70°C without cooling, in its rugged IP65 stainless steel housing.

Yes. The IRC is small, easy to install and designed for both OEM and end-user machine-mounted non-contact monitoring.

Users should check target temperature, output type (J/K/0-5V), spot size at distance, mounting and ambient condition.
