EXERGEN INTRODUCES NEW FAMILY OF “SMART” SENSORS

May 2001 - Non-contact, precise and cost-effective temperature system Exergen Corporation, the leading manufacturer of infrared temperature sensors, presents a new family of SmartIRt/c sensors, offering users a complete, compact, cost-effective, general-purpose alternative to other methods of temperature measurements.  The microprocessor controlled SmartIRt/c acts as a complete system over a wide target and ambient temperatures providing linear outputs of either 0-5 volts or 4-20ma.  Accurate and fast, the new sensors are ideal for all applications including automotive, printing, packaging, and textiles.  The first member of Exergen’s family of SmartIRt/c sensors has a 3 to 1 field of view and possesses a target temperature range of 0˚C to 250˚C, with an ambient range from 0°C to 70°C.  Extremely cost-effective, they have a built-in air purge system for the most accurate and versatile temperature readings available.  The first generation of the “Smart” sensor family from Exergen will have a reading of 0˚C at 0 volts or 4ma and a reading of 250˚C at 5 volts or 20ma.   The SmartIRt/c sensors are housed in a small, self-contained unit only 3 ½” long, 1¼” wide and 3/4” deep.  They are lightweight and fit virtually anywhere.  The new IRt/c’s from Exergen require a power source of 12 to 24 volts.   About Exergen Exergen Corporation, located in Watertown, MA, designs and manufactures infrared temperature sensors designed for the performance of fast, accurate and non-invasive temperature measurements used in virtually all industries.  Exergen's commitment to innovative temperature control technology continues to help customers meet or exceed their production requirements.  For more information about Exergen IRt/c non-contact temperature technology, please contact: Robert Harris, Exergen Corporation, 400 Pleasant Street, Watertown, MA, 02472; Call 800-422-3006; Fax 617-923-9911; or e-mail industrial@exergen.com.  Information is also available on the company's website at www.exergen.com.
