CT 4M

The Optris CT 4M is a dynamic non-contact solution for temperature measurement, particularly adept at handling challenging materials in low-temperature environments. The pyrometers unique mid-wavelength spectrum makes it an excellent choice for fast and low-temperature measurements across various materials, effectively addressing the challenges faced by LT sensors.

At its core, the Optris CT 4M features an InAsSb detector operating within the 2.2 – 6 μm range. This wavelength range renders the infrared sensor suitable for measuring metals, metal oxides, ceramics, or materials with unknown or changing emissivity. Designed for high-speed temperature measurement, CT 4M covers a temperature span from 0 °C to 500 °C.

Key features of the Optris CT 4M include a miniaturized infrared thermometer with an ultra-fast exposure time of 90 μs and response times as quick as 300 µs. The pyrometers compact design, with a small head measuring 14 mm in diameter and 28 mm in length, ensures versatility, fitting into various spaces and capable of operating in temperatures of up to 70 °C. Cooling with Optris accessories is advised for higher operating temperatures. Additionally, its distance-to-spot size ratio, supporting up to 10:1, and compact size make this infrared thermometer an ideal choice for integration into machinery and manufacturing equipment. The IR sensors rapid response time enables the monitoring of fast processes, facilitating quick measurements in industrial processes with low cycle times.

The Optris CT 4M adopts a two-piece sensor design with a measuring head and a separate electronic box, prioritizing accuracy and versatility. The electronic box simplifies device configuration and offers various interface options, including analog and digital outputs such as 0/4 – 20 mA, 0 – 5 V, 0 – 10 V, thermocouple (type K or J), USB, RS485, RS232 interfaces, relay outputs (2 x optically isolated), Profibus DP, ProfiNet, and Ethernet, Ethernet/IP. Whether utilized in laboratory, factory, or field settings, the Optris CT 4M facilitates precise temperature measurements effortlessly.

The compact sensing head, measuring 14 mm in diameter and 28 mm in length, can withstand ambient temperatures of up to 70 °C. Optional accessories further enhance the functionality of the infrared sensor, catering to diverse industrial requirements. The mounting fork ensures secure and stable installation for continuous temperature monitoring, while the sighting tube enhances targeting precision and accuracy. The close-focus lens allows for detailed temperature measurements on small or distant objects, and the air purge accessory protects the temperature sensor from contaminants in harsh environments. Cooling jackets optimize performance in elevated temperature conditions, ensuring consistent and accurate readings. These optional accessories broaden the versatility of the Optris CT 4M series, providing tailored solutions for various industrial applications.
