Specifications subject to change without notice
Fixed mou nti ng
brac ket
The L-shaped fixed
mounting bracket
offers a rigid support
for the sensor and allows fine adjustment in
a single plane.
Adjustable mou nti ng
brac ket
The adjustable
mounting bracket
consists of a
fixed mounting
bracket plus another L-shaped bracket. When
assembled as shown the adjustable mounting
bracket offers a rigid support for the sensor and
allows fine adjustment in two planes.
Air pu rge cola r
The air purge collar
is used to keep dust,
fumes, moisture and
other contaminants
away from the lens. Air flows into the fitting on the
side and out of the aperture at the front.
Air/wate r
coled housi ng
The air/water
cooled housing
allows the sensor to
withstand ambient temperatures which exceed
the normal 70°C limit. Air or water (depending on
the degree of cooling required) flows into one of
the fittings on the side and out of the other. To
prevent condensation forming on the lens, the
air/water cooled housing is supplied complete
with an air purge collar. Please note, the air/water
cooled housing must be ordered with the sensor
and cannot be fitted by the user.

Tool
The Laser Sighting
Tool screws onto
the front of the
sensor during installation and indicates precisely
where the sensor is aiming. Once the sensor
has been aimed at the centre of the target and
locked in position the Laser Sighting Tool can
be removed. The laser is activated by means of
a push button on the front of the tool which has
a latching mechanism.
All PyroCouple sensors are fitted
with precision G ermanium lenses for
accurate optics. M odel PC21 has
2:1 optics making it suitable for most
applications where the sensor can be
mounted close to the target. Model
PC151 is designed for small or distant
targets and has an optical resolution
of 15:1. M odel PC301 is designed for
very small or distant targets and has an
optical resolution of 30:1.

e.g. M odel PC151HT-4 has a 15:1 field of view and provides a type K thermocouple output representing
target temperatures of 0șC to 500șC plus a 4-20 mA output proportional to internal sensor temperature. For
simplicity, the sensor temperature range is always set the same as the target temperature range
