The Thermalert TX infrared temperature sensors are available in two configurations:
1. TX Basic Sensors offer outstanding performance when used in single-unit installations.
2. TX Smart Sensors, which have remote addressability, can be easily installed in multidrop configurations including special ones for monitoring glass and plastics processes. TX Series Smart Sensors communicate over a simple loop-powered 2-wire cable using the HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) protocol. This signal combines industry-standard 4-20 mA output with simultaneous digital communications.
It includes Raytek DataTemp Multidrop software to enable easy and consistent installation, configuration and data capture across the following applications:
- steel and metals processing (foundry/forging operations & heat treating)
- glass bending, forming, tempering, annealing, and sealing
- paper processing (ink drying/curing & lamination)
- plastics processing and thermoforming; and semiconductor processing
