    Incorrect use of 110 / 230 V electrical systems can result in electrical hazards and personal injury. All instrument parts supplied with electricity must be covered to prevent physical contact and other hazards at all times. Marathon MR Rev. E2 04/2011...
  • Page 8: Product Description

    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.
  • Page 9: Theory Of Operation For 2-Color Sensors

    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...
