OverviewThe CellaTemp® PA 40 is a digital two-colour pyrometer for non-contact temperature measurement from 500 to 3,000 °C. The two-colour measurement method reduces sensitivity to interference from dust, vapour, dirty protective windows and changing target surfaces compared with single-colour pyrometers. Sighting options include through-the-lens aiming, a laser pilot light and an optional camera module for precise alignment.
