The Raytek MI is a two-piece infrared temperature
measurement system with miniature sensing head and
separate electronics. The sensor is small enough to be
installed just about anywhere, yet it performs as well as much
larger systems. The MI electronics include a host of signal
processing features which you won’t normally find in systems
in this price range, including Emissivity, Peak Hold, Valley
Hold, and Averaging function, all of which are adjustable on
the 5-digit LCD user interface.
Designed for a wide range of applications where the target
temperature is in the -40°C to 600°C (-40°F to 1,112°F)
range, the sensor is housed in a rugged stainless steel
enclosure to ensure long term performance, even in harsh
industrial environments with ambient temperatures up to
180°C (356°F) without cooling. Although the MI unit is small
in size, it still has the features you need, with 1% accuracy,
10:1 or 22:1 optics and user selectable output signals. And
the MI system’s response time is as fast or faster than many
advanced systems.

Nominal Optical Specifications
Even more features are available with the RS-232 or optional
RS-485 communications and the DataTemp Multidrop
Software. These features include remote control and
monitoring of all sensor variables, a 5V alarm signal triggered
by a target temperature or head ambient temperature, an
8-position “recipe” table that can be easily interfaced to
an external control system, an external reset signal input
for signal processing, and even external inputs for analog
emissivity adjustment or reflected energy compensation.
The MI unit’s miniature size and low cost make it ideal for
installation at multiple points along your process. Accurate.
Rugged. Easy to install. Affordable. With the MI, precision
infrared temperature measurement is now an economical
alternative.
Raytek MI – miniature sensor, maximum performance!
D:S is the optical resolution expressed as a ratio of the distance to
the measurement spot divided by the diameter of the spot.
Optical resolution for the MI is 10:1, 22:1.
Nominal spot size based on 90% energy.
