Texense Current-loop output variant sub-miniature IR temperature sensors New from motorsports and aeronautical sensor specialist Texense the IRN2-C linear analogue & digital infrared sensor provides a 4…20 mA output over a standard temperature range of -30 to + 220 â°C in a compact M12 x 34 mm sub-miniature housing. 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 +1200 â°C 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 500 g and vibration up to 20 Gpp5’ – 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/â°C, response time 50 msec (0-90%) and field of view is 4:1 at 50 mm.
