  • Page 9: Product Description

    Product Description 2 Product Description The Endurance 1R Series of instruments are 2-color infrared noncontact temperature measurement systems with variable focus, through-the-lens sighting, and parallax-free optics. They are energy transducers designed to measure accurately and repeatedly the amount of heat energy emitted from an object, and then convert that energy into a measurable electrical signal.
  • Page 10: Theory Of Operation For 2-Color Sensors

    Product Description 2.1 Theory of Operation for 2-Color Sensors Two-color ratio technology makes possible accurate and repeatable temperature measurements that are free from dependence on absolute radiated energy values. In use, a 2-color sensor determines temperature from the ratio of the radiated energies in two separate wavelength bands (colors). The benefits of 2-color sensors are that accurate measurements can be made under the following conditions: When the field of view to the target is partially blocked or obscured.
  • Page 11: Emissivity And 1-Color (Single Wavelength) Measurements

    Product Description 2.1.3 Emissivity and 1-color (single wavelength) measurements Emissivity is a calculated ratio of infrared energy emitted by an object to the energy emitted by a blackbody at the same temperature (a perfect radiator has an emissivity of 1.00). The emissivity is preset at 1.00.
