At a Glance

Fluke Process Instruments’ Thermalert 4.0 Series Pyrometers have several integrated infrared temperature sensors with their broadest spectral ranges that may be used for a wide range of process control applications.

Every pyrometer complies with Industry 4.0 standards, integrates ground-breaking digital technology with typical two-wire installations for all configurations, and is available with ATEX and IECEx certification.

This sophisticated infrared measurement sensor, with multiple communication options, delivers the tools users need to comprehend the temperature data and regulate their specific process in a compact, integrated package that is simple to install and operate.

Thermalert 4.0 Pyrometers

Thermalert 4.0 Series Pyrometers offers a comprehensive picture of even the toughest environments, with the potential to endure ambient temperatures up to 85 °C (185 °F) without additional cooling. They also offermultiple wavelength options to accommodate a wide range of applications.

Each pyrometer is built with a best-in-class optical resolution that changes depending on the application. It also providesmultiple communication choices to satisfy the process needs, such as two-wire loops driven by RS485, digital outputs (Ethernet, EthernetIP, ProfinetIO), and analog outputs.

Laser sighting, ATEX/IECEx certification, and a wide range of accessories (including high-temperature enclosures) are available in all models.

DataTemp^® Multidrop Software

The DataTemp^® Multidrop Software allows users to embed Thermalert 4.0 infrared sensors into their process control system. Each software solution provides the tools to “plug and play,” easily configuring the sensors and tracking temperatures with a graphical display in real-time.

The software's bar graph feature displays temperature profiles throughout the process. The program may also record and archive process temperatures and display high- and low-alarms, making it simple to determine when conditions exceed the set parameters.
