Robust wide-range temperature sensing for motorsports and automotive

The IRN2-C is part of a range of contact-free IR temperature sensors that suit the various emissivity characteristics of materials for race track, tyre, brake and other components used in demanding motorsports and automotive R&D applications.

Based on straightforward installation with compact and durable M12 stainless steel housings, these include voltage and analogue output devices with various target temperature ranges up to 1200⁰C as standard. Each sensor type also caters for the optimum measurement distance. The thermopile with silicone lens technology used in Texense sensors is extremely robust with typical shock ratings to 500g and vibration up to 20Gpp5´ - well proven in race track and test.

In particular the IRN2-C offers an accuracy of ±2% FS with an ambient temperature error of ±0.5°C. Sensitivity is 64 µA/⁰C, response time 50msec (0-90%) and field of view is 4:1 at 50mm.

Other Texense sensor products available from Variohm EuroSensor include CANbus-interfaced and wireless temperature, pressure and fluid sensors used across professional and club motorsports, aeronautics and other sports industries such as cycling dynamics.

Variohm provides complete pre-sale and post-sale application support for demanding measurement applications throughout industry, agriculture, construction, autosports and research.
