Pyreos signs EPS Global for pan-European sales role

Pyreos says that it is the world’s only thin film pyroelectric sensor company meaning that it supplies the fastest, smallest such devices and has a unique digital integrated Surface Mount (SMD) range.

Pyreos is the world’s only thin film pyroelectric sensor company meaning that it supplies the fastest, smallest such devices and has a unique digital integrated Surface Mount (SMD) range. Pyreos sensors are used for gas and flame detection, for analysis of substances like engine oils, foodstuffs, blood and soil, and for motion detection.

The Pyreos devices below are used in a wide variety of sensors and analysers. ezPyro SMD is a surface mount (SMD) pyroelectric sensor. It measures just 5.65mm x 3.70mm x 1.55mm.

Compared with other pyroelectric and thermopile sensors, this family is said to have high sensitivity, faster response, fast switch-on, ultra-lower power consumption, more configurability and easier integration which makes ezPyro, a unique solution for gas, flame, motion and gesture detection.

Pyreos offers a full range of analogue TO packaged sensors from single to quad channel in the common sized TO-39 packages.

They all benefit from both the advanced performance of a thin film pyroelectric sensor, wide thermal operating ranges, very high stability, and the integration of a front-end operational amplifier within the package. A range of un-cooled pyroelectric linear array sensors offer high performance right across the infrared spectrum and especially in the mid infrared.

These “spectrometers on a chip” enable low-cost hand-held analysers or spectrometers which are fast, battery powered and have no moving parts. Commenting on the agreement, Colin Lynch, CEO at EPS Global said, “Our experienced team of FAEs and sales professionals provide the best solutions and the highest levels of service to our customers. Our partnership with Pyreos will prove invaluable as we support customers with gas, flame or motion sensing requirements”.

Keith Pruden, VP Sales at Pyreos, responded “We have been impressed by EPS Global’s high technical skills and customer understanding. They fill a key niche in Pyreos’ growing global distribution. We look forward to a close relationship in the key European markets.”
