Q: In what scenarios is this product primarily used?
A: The FT-55A is typically used in any industrial production process involving high temperatures, moving objects, small targets, or where temperature detection needs to avoid contact with contaminants.
Q: What sensor head models are available?
A: The FT-55A amplifier can be paired with a variety of infrared sensor heads of different specifications to meet diverse measurement needs, from small targets to ultra-long distances and ultra-high temperatures. The main available sensor head models include: FT-H10, FT-H20, FT-H30, FT-H50, FT-H40K, and FT-H50K.
The display resolution of the FT-55A will vary depending on the sensor head selected. When used with H10, H20, and H30, the resolution can reach 0.1°C; while when used with H50, H40K, and H50K, the resolution is 1°C. You can choose the most suitable sensor head model based on the actual size of the target being measured, the distance, and the temperature range.
Q: How do I wire its 4-20mA analog output?
A: The FT-55A's 4-20mA analog output uses a standard two-wire loop power supply. When wiring, the sensor, external DC power supply, and receiving device (such as a PLC, temperature controller, or ammeter) need to be connected in series in the same closed loop.
