Product Overview
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
All substances with a temperature above absolute zero emit radiant energy. Thermal
radiation increases with an increase in temperature. An optical pyrometer measures
the radiation at a given wavelength, and from that radiant flux, calculates the absolute
temperature of the target. Practically, an optical pyrometer is a light intensity meter
calibrated to read out in temperature units.
Each Impac pyrometer has customized optics that measure thermal radiation from a
target object at a distance and determine the temperature in real time. Your pyrometer
was factory-calibrated to ensure that it operates within specifications. For more
information, refer to the work certificate or inspection sheet provided with your
pyrometer.
UNIT COMPONENTS
Pyrometer
The configuration and accessories of your pyrometer will vary depending on the
needs of your application. It has a modular design allowing you to connect and swap
multiple sensor heads. With the exception of USB sensor heads, your configuration
will include various sensor heads and sensor cables that connect to either a converter
box or an analog box (for communications), with the addition of optional multi-
sensor boxes (for connecting more sensor heads) and accessories.
For more information about the options available for your pyrometer, see the online
product data sheet.

Sensor Heads
A variety of sensor heads are available for non-contact temperature measurement at
various wavelengths. All sensor heads can be interchanged with any other standard
sensor head without restriction. When connecting more than one sensor head to the
converter box, analog box, or multi-sensor box, you can use any combination of the
available sensor heads.
