IR-CA Series High-speed Compact Infrared Thermometers Download PS Sheet

The IR-CA series is a non-contact and high-speed (3ms) compact radiation thermometer covering medium and high temperature range by using the detecting element of InGaAs or Si. The thermometer with converting function has a digital display of temperature, parameter setting keys, and a direct viewfinder. The thermometer can be placed at any place due to a large distance factor.
