CSmicro LT HS

The CSmicro LT hs pyrometer sets a new standard in temperature resolution, pushing the boundaries of low-noise infrared pyrometry to achieve remarkable precision. Capable of detecting temperature differences as minute as 0.025 °C, this pyrometer excels in providing precise, high-resolution, non-contact temperature sensing in the infrared long wavelength 8-14µm spectrum, particularly optimized for high-emissivity targets.

Operating within a temperature range of -20 °C to 150 °C, with a head operating temperature of -20 °C to 75 °C, this thermal sensor offers exceptional versatility. Output options include 0-5 V or 4-20 mA, ensuring compatibility with various applications.

Setting it apart from the CSmicro LT, the CSmicro LT hs variant offers even finer temperature resolution within its reduced temperature range, catering to specialized temperature measurement requirements. Moreover, the CSmicro LT hs series with mA output supports two-wire-output operation, allowing for dynamic adjustment of the electrical current in the ground loop line based on the measured temperature.

With a rapid response time of 150 ms, the CSmicro LT hs pyrometer proves indispensable for control loop inputs across a spectrum of industries, including asphalt monitoring, plastic processing, medical applications, quality control, semiconductors, and manufacturing.

The CSmicro LT hs pyrometer features a compact stainless steel housing, measuring a mere 29 mm in diameter and 55 mm in length, ensuring robustness and longevity even in the most challenging conditions.

In scenarios where the sensor head is affixed to a heat-conducting component and the sensor cable is routed to a cooler area, a consistent heat flow can generate a temperature gradient along the sensor, particularly impacting the internal detector. This gradient is influenced by both the process temperature and ambient conditions.

A static temperature gradient can lead to deviations in temperature readings and affect the sensor’s thermal shock behavior. However, the design of the CSmicro LT hs minimizes these effects by reducing thermal gradients along the sensor head. This optimization enhances thermal shock resistance, ensuring accuracy and repeatability even in environments with rapidly fluctuating ambient temperatures.

The CSmicro LT hs is equipped with an intelligent LED display, offering a range of functions including alarm signaling, target support, self-diagnosis, and temperature-code display. This intuitive interface enhances usability and ensures efficient temperature monitoring in various applications.

To further enhance durability, electronic components within the cable safeguard the measuring head against high temperatures, ensuring reliable performance even in extreme conditions.

Optional accessories such as air purging systems, mounting flanges, and close-focus optics extend the capabilities of the CSmicro LT hs pyrometer. These accessories enable precise temperature measurements of small spot-size targets from close distances, providing flexibility and adaptability to meet diverse measurement requirements.

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.
