The PyroMiniUSB is a miniature infrared sensor that measures the surface temperature of a solid or liquid without contact. With the precision and ruggedness of an industrial pyrometer and the plug-and-play convenience of USB, the PyroMiniUSB is the ideal benchtop temperature sensor for testing and experimentation. The sensor can reliably measure non-metallic surfaces between -20°C and 1000°C with a response time of only 125ms. Materials such as paper, thick plastics, rubber, food and organic materials, as well as painted metals and most dirty, rusty or oily surfaces are accurately measured. The rugged IP65 stainless steel housing withstands ambient temperatures up to 75 °C. Different optics are available to measure small or large targets at distances from a few millimeters to tens of meters.
