Noncontact Temperature Measurement

Raytek MX Series Infrared Thermometer

When the job demands

precision and accuracy.

Broad temperature range, superior optics and the

True Dimension™ double-bright circular laser sighting system

make the MX series thermometers the most advanced portable
thermometers in the industry. The MX series thermometers featuring
True Dimension coaxial laser sighting are the only thermometers
designed with precise infrared beam tracking, resulting in more
accurate measurement.

MX4+NI only

True Dimension is a coaxial three-dot laser sighting system
indicating the true diameter of a measurement spot (90%
energy). The target is highlighted at all distances with a
center measurement dot and two accompanying diameter
markers. At the focal point, where the measurement spot
size is the smallest, the dots line up vertically,
rotating as the unit is moved closer to or
further from the target. This advanced
coaxial system uses an extra
bright* 635nm laser
(tested to the same
safety and power
standards as
less bright laser
sights) to clearly
highlight the
targeted area.

All models include a user guide and a hardshell carrying case.

The MX4+ and MX4+NI thermometers additionally include:

■

DataTemp MX software

■

RS232 computer cable

■

Plug-in power supply (110 or 220 volt)

(

Power supply and cable not approved by FM for use in hazardous locations)

■

Thermocouple K probe

■

100 temperature data
logging capability

■

30 pre-set common material
emissivity values

■

Adjustable emissivity values
(.01 increments)

■

Customized log names,
alarms, and emissivity

Sub Zero Option

The Sub Zero (SZ) model option is designed for measuring lower
temperatures. The SZ model uses an IR sensor specially calibrated
to measure freezing temperatures from –50ºC (-58ºF) through 500ºC (932ºF).

Close Focus Option

The Close Focus (CF) option lets you accurately
measure very small areas at the Focus Point–
where the IR beam narrows. Paired with the

True Dimension coaxial laser
sighting system, extremely
small objects 6 mm (.24 in) at
300mm (11.4”) can be easily
measured. Ideal for electrical
maintenance and refrigeration
trouble-shooting.

MX Series Accessories and Options

When safety is a concern and data log­ging and downloading are required, the
new Raytek MX4+ Nonincendive (NI)
model thermometer is the product to
choose. It has the same great features as
the standard MX4+ thermometers with the
extra confidence of an approval needed
for use in hazardous environments. The
MX4+NI thermometer, Factory Mutual
approved as a Class I, Division 2
nonincendive device, does not release
enough electrical or thermal energy to
ignite flammable gases or vapors under
normal operational and environmental
conditions.
