AMETEK Land has added a high efficiency route manager and new protections against accidental damage to its Cyclops line of portable non-contact thermometers. Its applications include: Metal foundries; steelmaking; glass refractories; petrochemical processing; plastics and laboratory research and development.

The new Cyclops L family includes four models measuring across a range from 200-deg C/392-deg F to 3000-deg C/5432 –deg F. They are aimed at a wide range of applications including liquid metal, steel and glass production, and furnaces.

The Route Manager enables users to identify each location with a description, an emissivity value, a window correction factor (if applicable), and a unique identifier. This mode allows for complete repeatability of readings, making the thermometer an ideal tool for multiple locations requiring regular and reliable monitoring.

The thermometer stores up to 9,999 temperature measurements with a 0.1C measurement resolution. All can be downloaded to an optional logger to capture, view and record live temperature readings for further analysis and comparison. The thermometers have precise, narrow field of view and continuously focusable optics with through-the-lens sighting for accurate sample point selection. Long-term, drift-free measurement with available UKAS calibration to the highest international standards assures confidence in the readings.

A new industrial rubber casing cover and lens hood provide additional damage protection.

Ametek Land designs and manufactures instruments for industrial infrared temperature measurement, combustion efficiency and environmental pollutant emissions. It is a unit of Ametek, a leading global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices with annual sales of $3.6 billion.
