Optris CTex LT Infrared Pyrometer for Hazardous Areas
The Optris CTex LT is an intrinsically safe development of the proven CT LT sensor designed for use in hazardous areas. The sensor possesses all of the features of the CT LT but with the addition of ATEX approval for Zone 1 and 2 hazardous areas.
The sensor has the smallest sensing head available in the world at just 14mm diameter x 28mm long and allows the sensor to be installed in the applications where space is at a premium. The separate electronics enclosure provides a full range of outputs and inputs as standard including Voltage, mA and Thermocouple. It is also possible to incorporate an interface card which provides simple integration into your existing process control equipment. Options include Ethernet, Profibus, RS485 and USB interface and Compact Connect software.
Calibration as well as a full range of accessories are available for the Optris Compact infrared pyrometers.
