The Optris video pyrometers CTvideo 1M allow parallel use of video and crosshair laser aiming for an optimal measuring field adjustment even in processes with limited access. It reliably measures temperatures of metals or ceramics and, due to its short measuring wavelength, reduces measuring errors of surfaces with low or unknown emissivity.
The CTvideo 1M series by Optris combines non-contact temperature monitoring with video surveillance in industrial settings, making it ideal for scenarios where direct contact is impractical. With integrated video sighting, these pyrometers facilitate precise aiming, especially in challenging environments or extreme temperatures. The parallel use of video sighting and a red laser crosshair simplifies sensor alignment, streamlining setup processes for efficient and accurate measurements.
Designed for fixed installations, the CTvideo 1M ensures consistent and accurate temperature measurement of metallic surfaces, metal oxides, and ceramics. The pyrometers short measuring wavelength improves accuracy across various materials, reducing errors on surfaces with low or unknown emissivity. Equipped with a cross laser, the infrared sensor marks the measuring spot, enhancing measurement accuracy. With temperature ranges from 485 °C to 2200 °C and response times as low as 1 ms, this infrared thermometer suits diverse industrial applications, including high-temperature processes such as molten steel, tungsten, and semiconductors.
The pyrometers optical resolution varies depending on the model. In the CTvideo 1M series, optical resolution ratios range from 150:1 to 300:1, providing high-resolution temperature data. This range of resolutions ensures precise measurements even in demanding environments.
The CTvideo 1M series has exceptional optical resolution and manually focusable optics. The vario-optics allow smooth focusing to the desired distance, providing flexibility in application. These sensors offer versatile solutions for different measurement needs and are available in two versions: standard focus (SF) and close focus (CF).
A CTvideo pyrometer features a two-piece design. The electronics box offers advanced signal processing flexibility with analog and digital outputs, including 0/4-20 mA, 0-5 V, 0-10 V, thermocouple, and USB.
With a system accuracy of ±(0.3% of reading + 2 °C) and repeatability of ±(0.1% of reading + 1 °C), the CTvideo pyrometer delivers reliable temperature measurements. These specifications ensure consistent performance in industrial conditions, making the CTvideo 1M a dependable tool for precise temperature monitoring.
In conclusion, the Optris CTvideo 1M series offers high-performance infrared thermometers with advanced features such as video sighting, crosshair laser, and variable manual focus. Their application in industrial settings ensures efficiency, accuracy, and adaptability across diverse processes, making them indispensable tools for temperature monitoring in demanding environments. The comprehensive support from Optris further enhances their value as essential instruments for industrial temperature measurement.

Thermography software optris PIX Connect is included and license-free.All infrared cameras are delivered with the thermography software optris PIX Connect, developed specifically for the extensive documentation and analysis of thermal images. The Windows-based PIX Connect software enables users to tailor the infrared cameras to meet specific requirements. It analyses live and recorded temperature data and triggers alarm signals for process integration. The key to leveraging the Optris infrared camera is a correct configuration. This includes detailed device-specific configurations such as frame rate, measurement range adjustments, external communication settings, and USB/Ethernet configurations. Moreover, PIX Connect facilitates firmware updates and the download of configuration files over the Internet.
Optris offers several different SDKs for our Xi and PI thermal imaging cameras. Depending on the operating platform, the infrared camera, the coding language, and the hardware platform, different software interfaces can be utilized:
The Optris IRmobile allows users to set up and commission an Optris infrared pyrometer or infrared camera with an Android smartphone or tablet. This tool becomes handy for commissioning and aligning the infrared camera’s field of view or adjusting the configuration. The app analyzes the connected infrared camera‘s live infrared image stream with auto hot and cold spot detection. For pyrometers, a temperature-time diagram or the video signal is displayed. This app works on most Android devices running 5.0+ with a USB port supporting USB-OTG (On The Go).
