Product overviewThe CellaFurnace PA 46 is a two-colour (quotient) pyrometer designed for optical temperature measurement in vacuum and inert-gas high-temperature furnaces up to 3200 °C. It delivers a very wide measuring range with a consistent resolution better than 0.1 K and high long-term stability required for production processes. Alignment to the measuring point is possible via through-the-lens sighting, laser pilot light or an optional video camera.
Key features- Measuring range 900 to 3200 °C
- Designed for high-temperature furnaces (vacuum / inert gas)
- Two-colour (quotient) measurement principle for reduced emissivity influence
- Hybrid signal evaluation for high metrological resolution
- Minimal self-heating for excellent long-term stability
- Focusable optics and narrow field of view for measurements through small openings
- Standard: analogue output and USB / RS‑485 interface
