Product Description The Marathon MR 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.
Measuring wire or rod — often too narrow for field of view or moving or vibrating unpredictably. It is much easier to obtain accurate results because sighting is less critical with two-color sensors. Measuring molten glass streams — often narrow and difficult to sight consistently with single-wavelength sensors. Marathon MR Rev. E2 04/2011...
To determine how to use 2-color sensors with your application when uncertain or changing emissivities are a factor, please contact your sales representative. Marathon MR Rev. E2 04/2011...
