Polaris PS09 / PI16

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document describes the Polaris PS09 and PI16 infrared temperature switches designed for non-contact detection of hot metal parts or overheating. These devices trigger switching operations for sorting or activating cooling systems.

Specifications:

Two models with different wavelength ranges for temperature detection from 250°C to 550°C.
Equipped with two transistor switching contacts with adjustable switching temperatures and hysteresis.
Full digital signal processing with low uncertainty and fast data acquisition (response time of 4 ms).
Three optics available for different measuring distances, with spot size diameters starting from 1.3 mm.
Laser target marking for precise alignment.
Three status LEDs indicating operational readiness and active switching outputs.

Technical Data:

Temperature ranges: 250–1800°C depending on the model.
Spectral range: 0.7–1.1 µm (silicon detector) and 1.45–1.8 µm (InGaAs detector).
Uncertainty: ±1% of adjusted switching point temperature.
Repeatability: 0.5% of adjusted switching point temperature.
Response time: 4 ms, adjustable to 10 s.
Emissivity: 20–100%.
Power supply: 24 V DC, power consumption max. 0.5 VA.
Switching outputs: 2 transistor outputs, max. current 30 mA.
Digital interface: RS232 or RS485, baud rate 1.2–57.6 kBd.
Protection class: IP65 with mounted connection cables.
Operating temperature: 0–70°C, storage temperature -20–70°C.

Optics and Measurement:

Optics can be adjusted continuously within specified measuring distance limits to achieve the smallest possible spot size diameter.
Measuring object size should be at least as large as the spot size diameter.
Laser targeting light indicates the center of the spot size for precise alignment.

Accessories and Configuration:

Accessories include connection cables, interface converters, power supplies, mounting brackets, air purge attachments, and water cooling jackets.
Devices are configured via SensorTools software or interface commands, requiring a PC connection via a serial interface.

Applications: Primarily used for measuring metals, ceramics, graphite, etc., in industrial settings.

| Just Switch The infrared temperature switches Polaris are mainly used for non-contact detection of hot metal parts and triggering a switching operation. They are equipped with 2 switching contacts with adjustable switching temperatures. Polaris temperature switches measure in the short wave spectral range and are therefore mainly used for measuring of metals, ceramics, graphite, etc. The devices are configured via the PC software SensorTools or via interface commands. For this purpose, the connection to a PC via serial interface is necessary, e.g. via USB interface converter. The alignment...
