The Power of Infrared Temperature
Measurement in the Palm ofYour Hand

IRCON temperature measurement systems have
become synonymous with quality and rugged design.
Since 1962, our products have performed in the
harshest and most volatile conditions with accuracy
and reliability, delivering superior performance to end­users worldwide.

Continuing in that light, the ULTIMAX Plus Series of
handheld non-contact thermometers – consisting of
six models to cover nearly every temperature
measure-ment application – includes powerful
features to deliver high quality performance. With
through-the-lens viewing, all you have to do is aim
and measure. Sophisticated microprocessor based
electronics allow simple push-button selection of
emissivity, response time and measuring mode.
Single lens reflex (SLR) optics and a reticle that
precisely defines the measured area deliver ultimate
accuracy. Both analog and digital outputs are
standard features and the temperature values are
displayed both in the viewfinder and on the external
LCD. Reliability is enhanced by surface mount
technology, DC operation and an optical system that
does not require optical modulation techniques such
as mechanical choppers.

Apply ULTIMAX Power

ULTIMAX Plus non-contact thermometers measure the
temperature of an object directly – but without contact!
They provide the ideal solution for temperature
measurement of objects that are fragile, moving, far
away, or behind a protective window – as in a vacuum
chamber or controlled atmosphere furnace. You get all
the benefits of non-contact infrared temperature
measurement with the ULTIMAX Plus:

• Accuracy – heat is not removed from the measured
object (as with contact sensors)

• Speed – response times are faster, in milliseconds
(not seconds)

• Quality – without contact, damage and
contamination of the measured object is eliminated

The ULTIMAX Plus Series features six models that
cover four infrared spectral regions: UX-10P, UX-20P,
and UX-40P with focusable optics; UX-50P, UX-60P,
and UX-70P with fixed focus. The UX-70P is a 2-color
model for measuring small targets, targets that have
a partially obstructed field-of-view (FOV), or when the
energy from the target is attenuated by smoke or dust
in the atmosphere. Capable of measuring spot sizes
as small as 2mm (0.08 in.) and temperatures as
high as 3000 °C (5430 °F), this series is ideal for
applications ranging from frozen foods to molten steel

Powerful Datalogging and Trending Software

With a built-in temperature datalogging capability, each
ULTIMAX Plus model has the power to store
temperature data in its internal memory. Select one of
two modes: “Manual Mode” to store temperature data
every time the “measure” button is pushed; or “Time
Interval Mode” to store up to 1,000 data points
continuously at one second intervals (500 data points
continuously at one second intervals for models UX
50P, 60P, and 70P). Datalogging is useful for gathering
temperature data for predictive maintenance or
continuous time interval data for process or testing
applications. The stored temperature data can be
viewed on the ULTIMAX Plus display or downloaded to
a PC with ULTIMAX Plus data analysis software. This
software provides a real-time trending function and
allows you to graph, display, store, and analyze the
logged data or export it directly to a Microsoft
spreadsheet.

Put the power of ULTIMAX Plus to work in your facility.
It delivers more performance and features than

any other portable infrared thermometer – at a very
competitive price! For more information or an on­site demonstration, please contact an IRCON
representative today.
