The temperature sensor manufacturer novasens Sensortechnik offers with the new temperature sensor IR602 an infrared temperature sensor in protection class IP69K. The sensor is designed for use in harsh industrial environments, but specifically for use in the food industry, pharmaceutical production and cosmetics manufacturing. Robust sensor housing made of stainless steel The robust sensor housing is made of stainless steel V4A 1.4571 and has a hygienic design. The surface roughness of <0.8µm allows easy cleaning of the sensor and makes it insensitive to dirt adhesion. The compact dimensions of the sensor offer easy mounting even with limited installation space in the machine. Hygienic non-contact temperature measurement The principle of non-contact temperature measurement using infrared is particularly suitable for food production and the food industry, as the sensor does not come into contact with the measured object. Thus, this is a very hygienic method of measuring the temperature of the food. The evaluation unit of the sensor gives an analog output signal, optionally in 0-10V, 0-20mA and 4-20mA. Temperature measuring ranges for a wide range of applications The temperature measuring ranges from -40°C to +60°C, 0°-30°C, 0°-50°C, 0°-100°C and 0°-250°C ensure precise temperature measurement even in the deep-freeze production range thanks to a high resolution. The sensor is also suitable for OEM use by manufacturers of the corresponding machines and systems. Interested parties have the opportunity to request a test sensor free of charge and without obligation.
