10 Channel

Features

A ten-channel thin-film thermopile in a TO-8 package. Each active area is 3.16mm x 0.4mm and offers low noise voltage. Internal aperture minimizes channel-to-channel crosstalk while increasing sensitivity.

Applications

The perfect single package choice for analyzing multiple anesthetic gases in demanding environments such as hospital operating rooms. Potential applications in non-contact temperature and spectral discrimination of materials.

Benefit

Ten-channel spectral differentiation for demanding applications.

Options

  • See Standard Windows and Filters (PDF) for list of optical filter options.
  • See Thermopile Configuration Table for more options.
  • Internal 30kΩ 5% NTC chip thermistor provides ambient package temperature measurement. See DC-4005 section of Thermistor Options (PDF).
