Pyrometer With Integrated Tbc Video Camera

Earth Tekniks Pvt Limited offers a Keller Pyrometer with integrated TBC video camera. Pyrometers often feature through-the-lens sighting which enables precise alignment to the target and correct distance adjustment. The instrument will yield the most accurate temperature data when the optics have been properly focused. For routine checks in difficult to access installations, a pyrometer with through-the-lens sighting is inconvenient. These instruments frequently come with a laser sighting option. The disadvantage of a laser is that it indicates the centre of the target spot but not the exact size. Besides that, the laser spot is hard to see on light-coloured objects, and loses its intensity when used in high ambient temperatures. Keller MSR has now come up with a built-in video camera for their pyrometer series CellaTemp PA. The integrated camera features a very wide dynamic range with automatic light exposure. At illuminance as low as low as 0.5 lx the video camera provides a sharp image, whether the target object is cold or hot. Up to now, video cameras built into pyrometers featured a very limited dynamic range. These require various filters, which adapt the image to cold or hot objects. Another new feature is TBC (Target Brightness Control). This function enables the video camera to control the exposure based on the luminous intensity detected specifically within the pyrometer's measurement area. Other pyrometers, which feature an integrated video camera, will adjust the exposure based on the average intensity of light of within the entire field of view, which includes the surrounding area. A small, very hot target with high luminosity against a cold background will not cause the camera's exposure control to overcompensate. With TBC, the actual target spot will always be a sharp, high-contrast image, which can be viewed from the control room. With the high spatial resolution of 5.6 micro mtr/Pixel even tiny objects such as lamp filaments can be sharply imaged. The superior image quality can be achieved at ambient temperatures up to 65 Degree Celsius. All 44 models of the CellaTemp PA Series serving a temperature range from 0 to 3000 Degree Celsius can be optionally equipped with an integrated video camera.
