CSmicro LT

The CSmicro LT Pyrometer, an economical yet advanced solution tailored for precise infrared temperature measurements in industrial settings. Equipped with a thermopile detector, this innovative infrared sensor ensures highly accurate non-contact temperature readings across a broad spectrum ranging from 8-14µm. The pyrometers exceptional capability to measure high-emissivity targets, even at low temperatures, makes this IR sensor an invaluable asset in various industrial applications.

The CSmicro LT, known for its versatility and adaptability, finds applications across a wide range of industries. These include thermoforming, plastic processing, the food industry, heavy industry, quality control, manufacturing, and machine condition monitoring. Serving as a valuable tool for preventive maintenance and as an input for control loop systems, pyrometers like this demonstrate their wide range of uses in infrared temperature measurements.

Offered in multiple versions, the CSmicro LT series boasts variations in optics, distance-to-spot size ratios, maximal head temperature, and output types. These include analog outputs such as 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, or 0-10 V voltage output. Additionally, this pyrometer supports digital alarms and serial communication over RS232, ensuring effortless integration into control systems. For added versatility, the CSmicro LT series with mA output also accommodates two-wire-output operation, where the electrical current in the ground loop line adjusts based on the measured temperature. Various lens options with close-focus or standard-focus optics further enhance its adaptability.

Featuring an impressive distance-to-spot size ratio of up to 15:1, the CSmicro LT guarantees precise temperature measurements even from a distance. With a temperature range spanning from -50 °C to 1030 °C, coupled with its compact size and temperature resistance of the sensing head up to 120 °C, this infrared sensor proves ideal for seamless integration into machinery, particularly in manufacturing environments. Notably, the CSmicro LT sensors boast a rapid response time of just 14 ms.

Crafted to endure challenging conditions, the CSmicro LT is engineered to deliver precise temperature measurements even in the harshest environments. Its unique thermal shock-resistant design distinguishes this pyrometer from other sensors, ensuring consistent performance despite ambient temperature changes. The robust stainless steel measuring head, featuring an M12x1 thread, facilitates effortless integration into confined hot spaces, elevating its suitability for a multitude of applications.

The intelligent LED display of the CSmicro LT serves a multitude of functions, from alarm signaling and target support to self-diagnosis and temperature-code display. With electronic components placed within the cable, the measuring head boasts high-temperature resistance, ensuring reliable performance even in demanding conditions.

Configuration, fine-tuning settings, and the setup of the sensor are supported through the optional USB kit and the Compact Connect software, available for free download. Additionally, the USB kit and software offer convenient recording of temperature measurements over time. For quick commissioning, temperature measurements and changes over time can also be displayed on the Optris IR mobile app, available for free on Google Play.

Enhanced by Optris accessories like air purging, mounting flanges, and close-focus optics, the CSmicro LT pyrometer empowers precise temperature measurements of small spot-size targets from close distances.

These pyrometers are designed and manufactured in Germany, carefully calibrated to government standards such as PTB or NIST. For large-quantity OEM customers, customization options, such as different cable sizes, are available. As with all Optris products, application engineers are on hand to discuss industrial applications and provide after-sales support.
