The Raytek CM sensor provides the advantages of infrared temperature measurement in a powerful, compact, integrated sensor. Designed for easy integration, the CM sensor can easily replace traditional contact probes with a J-type or K-type thermocouple output, or with a user scaleable 0-5 volt output, if your application is susceptible to noise .

The CM sensor is designed to measure target temperatures ranging from -20°C to 500°C (-4°F to 932°F). The CM's onboard electronics are protected by a rugged IP 65 (NEMA-4) stainless steel housing, allowing the sensor to function in ambient temperatures to 70°C (160°F) without cooling .

Although small in size, the CM is loaded with advanced features. An RS232 digital interface allows the user to configure all programmable sensor variables with the powerful DataTemp Multdrop software included with each sensor. These include a 24 volt DC alarm output triggered by target temperature or head ambient temperature, peak hold, valley hold or variable averaging signal processing, adjustable target emissivity settings and adjustable window transmissivity setting .

The built-in sensor health LED provides a convenient on-line indicator of the sensor's operating status and aids in troubleshooting initial sensor set up. The sensor has a threaded stainless housing, 13:1 optical resolution and spectral response of 8-14 microns .
