Digital IR Thermometer Has Web/Ethernet Connectivity
The new compact SOLOnet range from Land Instruments International (Dronfield, Sheffield, England) is said to give unprecedented flexibility in the way infrared thermometers are set up, configured and monitored.
Incorporating digital technology, SOLOnet offers an integral web browser and Ethernet capability so that thermometers can be set up remotely from a computer - laptop, desktop PC - without the need for specialist software, and can be connected and monitored on a company-wide network. When set-up is completed, the PC can be disconnected, leaving the thermometer to operate independently as a stand-alone instrument.
SOLOnet can be interrogated remotely at any time and from any location via its web/Ethernet interface unit using Internet Explorer, Netscape or other standard web browser. For processes where many temperature measurements are required, multiple thermometers can be connected in many different wiring configurations. Each thermometer is accessible by its unique IP address, providing an on-screen data collection and control centre, navigable using drop-down menus and other devices.
Integral Peak Picker, Averager and Track and Hold functions are also user-configurable. There are two alarm outputs, which can be associated with any two of the five internally generated alarms.
The optics are fixed but field changeable. They can be focused at 250mm, 500mm, 1000mm or infinity by changing the position of the lens holder and three spacers, which are colour coded for ease of identification. Minimum target size at 250mm focus is 2.5mm diameter.
