IR-FA SERIES

FIBER OPTIC RADIATION THERMOMETER

The IR-FA series is a fiber optic radiation

thermometer featuring multi-function and high-
speed response.
Three types, single-color type for low temperature,
single-color type for medium/high temperature and
two-color type, are available.
IR-FA series realized usability and stable IR-FAS,-FAQH
temperature measuring as digital temperature
display and parameter setting functions, signal
modulation and optional analog output are built in.
Various options including lens assembly with
finder, laser-spotting function, communications
interface and analog input which enables
emissivity external settings or automatic
emissivity computation are available.

■ FEATURES
● Low temperature type with high-speed response
(20ms) and short wavelength enables to measure
objects with low emissivity like as metals.
● Medium/high temperature type with high accuracy
( ± 0.5 to 1% for 1000 to 2000℃) and high-speed
response (10ms) is for various temperature
measurement fields.
● Two-color type is stable with less effectiveness of
smoke, vapor, dust and lack-of-view.
● Temperature measuring of high speed movement IR-FACR
material, inductive heating object, explosion-proof
environment and vacuum equipment are applicable.

■ STRUCTURE
● Digital temperature display and parameter setting with
key operation. LCD display
● Compact, light weight and DIN rail mounting. Main unit
Temperature output
● By using heat-resistive fiber optic, measuring in the 4 to 20mA DC
environment at 150℃ is possible without any water- 1200 Contact output

● Laser function for easy spotting of measuring point 4 to 20mA DC(option)
(option). Lens assembly
Terminal
● A lens assembly with finder for spotting of measuring
point with eyes is available from accessories.
Laser (option)
● Communications interface (RS485) enables data log-
ging and parameter setting on a computer.
