Sensing range

The sensing range is the temperature range you wish to maintain in the target area being measured. A common mistake made when specifying a sensing range is to select a full operating range instead of the actual sensing range. For example: specifying 32 - 212°F when, in fact, you need to measure only a 158°F - 176°F range. A more precisely defined, smaller sensing range will help us more accurately determine which product is best suited to your needs.

If your sensing range is < -28 or greater than 1200°F, your selection criteria requires a special solution, please contact Exergen Global.

Ambient Range

The ambient temperature range is the entire temperature range that the sensor is subjected to in its working environment. All sensor models have a specified min. and max. ambient temperature, which varies depending upon intended application. An airpurge jacket can be used to extend this range Exergen employs proprietary technology that allows our sensors to maintain optimal performance across the entire specified ambient temperature range.

If your ambient temperature is < -29 or greater than 400°F, your selection criteria requires a special solution, please contact Exergen Global.

Target Size

This is the diameter of the circular target area you want to measure the temperature of. Note that for an accurate measurement you need to position the sensor approx.10% (of the diameter) from the sides of the target.

If your target size is < 0.15” or greater than 7.95”, your selection criteria requires a special solution, please contact Exergen Global.

Distance to Target

You will achieve a more accurate reading by decreasing the distance to the target. Increasing distance increases the undesired effect of measuring surrounding heat sources or reflections. Exergen products can often be placed close to the target with excellent results because they maintain high accuracy across the ambient temperature range.

If your distance to target is greater than 19.69”, your selection criteria requires a special solution, please contact Exergen Global.

Sensing Range

The Sensing range is the temperature range you wish to maintain in the target area being measured. A common mistake made when specifying a sensing range is to select a full operating range instead of the actual sensing range. For example: specifying 0-100°C when, in fact, you need to measure only a 70°C - 80°C range. A more precisely defined, smaller sensing range will help us more accurately determine which product is best suited to your needs.

If your sensing range is < -50 or greater than 650°C, your selection criteria requires a special solution, please contact Exergen Global.

Ambient Range

The ambient temperature range is the entire temperature range that the sensor is subjected to in its working environment. All sensor models have a specified min. and max. ambient temperature, which varies depending upon intended application. An airpurge jacket can be used to extend this range Exergen employs proprietary technology that allows our sensors to maintain optimal performance across the entire specified ambient temperature range.

If your ambient temperature is < -20 or greater than 204°C, your selection criteria requires a special solution, please contact Exergen Global.

Target Size

This is the diameter of the circular target area you want to measure the temperature of. Note that for an accurate measurement you need to position the sensor approx.10% (of the diameter) from the sides of the target.

If your target size is < 3mm or greater than 200mm, your selection criteria requires a special solution, please contact Exergen Global.

Distance to Target

You will achieve a more accurate reading by decreasing the distance to the target. Increasing distance increases the undesired effect of measuring surrounding heat sources or reflections. Exergen products can often be placed close to the target with excellent results because they maintain high accuracy across the ambient temperature range.

If your distance to target is greater than 500mm, your selection criteria requires a special solution, please contact Exergen Global.
