Infrared temperature sensor PyroCV

with housingin metal housingthreaded

Short description
The PyroCV is a compact infrared non-contact temperature sensor designed for construction machinery, offering CAN communications or a linear 0–5 V output. No complex setup is required: connect a temperature indicator and power supply to begin measurements immediately.

Sensor Features

• Tested to EMC standards for construction machinery (ISO 13766-1)
• Non-contact measurement of asphalt and other non-reflective construction materials
• Temperature ranges from -20°C to 500°C (model dependent)
• Durable stainless steel 316 housing, sealed to IP67 / IP65 when mated
• Quick installation via M12 connector and M18 x 1 mm thread
• Outputs: CAN (raw) or linear 0–5 V DC
• Fast response and high stability

CAN ID: configurable 0–255 as a 4-byte unsigned integer
Emissivity: adjustable 0.2–1.0 as a 4-byte float

Field of View / Optics
Detects infrared wavelengths (8–14 μm) with spot sizes defined to contain 90% of detected energy. For best accuracy target size should be at least twice the measured spot. Longer distances are possible with larger measured spot sizes.

Mechanical Specifications
Construction: Stainless steel 316
Dimensions: sensor body length 86.5 mm
Thread mounting: M18 x 1 mm pitch, length 60 mm
Weight: 90 g

Environmental Specifications
Ingress protection: IP67 / IP65 (when mated)
Operating ambient temperature & humidity: -40°C to +85°C, no condensation
Storage temperature: -40°C to +85°C

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Tested to ISO 13766-1; load-dump tested according to ISO 16750-2 (clamped). System-level protection against unclamped load dump must be ensured in the host electrical system.

Applications
Designed for non-contact temperature measurement on non-reflective, non-metal surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, bulk materials, painted surfaces, thick plastics, rubber and organic materials. Typical uses: asphalt paving, road rollers, concrete processing and curing.
