Enclosed Air Purge Collar

Essential Protection for Precision Infrared Temperature Sensing in Tough Environments

The Air Purge Collar for the compact online infrared thermometer series is engineered to keep the lens of the infrared sensing head clean in challenging environments. Since infrared sensors measure the intensity of infrared light emitted from an object, accumulated dirt can attenuate the signal. The collar utilizes a continuous air stream that blows along the sensor and lens, preventing dust from settling. This protects against dirt, smoke, fumes and dust effectively, enhancing measurement repeatability in dusty conditions. Various models are available, tailored for different distance-to-spot size ratios of the optics and different form factors of the sensing head.

  • Improves performance in dusty conditions
  • Keeps the lens of the infrared sensor clean in harsh environments
  • Prevents dust accumulation with an air stream
  • Fits various distance-to-spot size ratios
  • Compatible with different sensing head forms
  • Easy to install and maintain

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).
