Original Press Release:
Palmer Wahl introduces New Fixed Infrared Sensor
New “R” Series Fixed Infrared Thermometers designed for easy replacement on OEM Equipment
Asheville, NC: Palmer Wahl Instruments, Inc. announces the release of its next generation of fixed infrared temperature sensors. Complementing its existing offering of industrial temperature measurement solutions, this new line is part of Palmer Wahl’s commitment to go Beyond the Scale to meet and exceed customer requirements.
The R10 is the first in the new “R” series of fixed infrared sensors, to be released throughout 2019. The R10 series is a family of high quality, low cost non-contact temperature sensors designed for use in OEM equipment and industrial process control and monitoring applications.
The 304 Stainless Steel housing is IP65 (NEMA 4) rated, and allows the unit to function in ambient temperatures up to 122°F with no additional cooling required. All models are powered by 24VDC to easily interface with standard PLCs, temperature controllers, or panel meters.
All models have a temperature range of 0 to 500°C (32 to 932°F). Models currently available feature 4 – 20 mA output. Additional models with outputs of 0 - 5 V and Types J & K thermocouple equivalents are coming soon. The 20:1 distance to spot ratio is perfect for measuring smaller target areas, or in applications where the distance between the sensor and the measurement area is larger. The rated accuracy is ± 1% of reading, and the fixed emissivity at 0.95 is suitable for measuring a wide variety of materials.
R10 systems include two stainless steel locking nuts for mounting in an 18mm or ¾ inch diameter hole. Optional mounting brackets, air purge, and air/water cooling jackets are available, sold separately. Units are designed for quick and easy installation, with 5 ft (1.5 meters) of cable or 10 ft (3 meters) of cable available to meet the requirements of your system.
Stephen J. Santangelo, President of Palmer Wahl Instruments, Inc. said “The R10 is just the first model of our new line of R series high quality fixed infrared sensors. Our customers are looking for an economical and easy to use fixed infrared sensor, and we’re happy to offer them this solution for their applications.”
All R10 units are assembled in our ISO9001:2015 certified factory in Asheville, NC.
