Frequently Asked Questions About This Product

A 2.3 micron infrared pyrometer measures temperature using a 2.3µm wavelength. This short wavelength reduces error on shiny, reflective and low-emissivity metal surfaces, which long-wave pyrometers read less accurately.

The 2.3µm wavelength improves accuracy on reflective and low-temperature metal targets, so the IRK 3M suits aluminium and bright metal that other models struggle to measure.

3ML covers 50°C–400°C and 3MS covers 100°C–600°C, depending on the selected variant.

3ML offers up to 60:1 and 3MS offers up to 140:1 optical resolution.

Yes. It measures reflective metal without contact, which suits continuous monitoring of bright or moving targets.

The IRK 3M provides a 4–20 mA analog output and RS485 Modbus RTU digital communication.

Users should check target temperature, surface emissivity, spot size at distance, mounting condition and output requirement.
