OVERVIEW
Get Accurate Measurements in 1ms with the PyroCube M
The PyroCube is an infrared pyrometer with an extremely fast response time and a very small measurement area size. It is available with or without the PM030 touch screen interface. MA models can measure areas as small as 1 mm. A choice of optics is available. The smaller, lower-cost MB model measures an 11 mm spot. All models can measure through glass or quartz viewports.
Features
- High performance infrared temperature sensor
- Measures small, reflective metal targets at low temperatures
- Temperatures range from 100°C to 600°C
- Measured spot as small as 1 mm
- Response time 1ms
- Choice of specialised models for demanding applications
- Continuous LED sighting on all models shows position and size of measured spot while readings are being taken
- Current, voltage and alarm outputs
- Digital communications

OPTIONAL DISPLAY (PM030)
Touch Screen Interface
Optional wall-mounted display, data logging, configuration and alarm unit for FibreCube sensor
- Read the temperature
The large, bright backlit temperature display is visible from a distance and turns red in an alarm condition. - Record the temperature history
See a graph of the measured temperature, and log more than a year of data to a single MicroSD Card. The data is stored in a simple text format that can be imported easily into Excel. - Configure the sensor
All the sensor’s configuration settings can be adjusted via the intuitive touch screen interface. - Trigger temperature alarms
Two alarms are individually configurable as high, low, band or error. The screen turns bright red to signal an alarm condition, and the built-in 24 V, 1 A relay outputs can be connected directly to alarm sounders and beacons. - Accurate measurements, even with reflections of hot objects
Place the sensor outside an oven or furnace and accurately measure the temperature of objects inside by using the Reflected Energy Compensation feature.
