Javelin

Stand alone noncontact

spot infrared thermometer

Big Benefits
IRCONs Javelin is one of the
best little infrared thermometers in
non-contact temperature sensing.
The Javelin non-contact
infrared thermometer is a
highly versatile, affordable
instrument for use within the
plastics, paper converting,
textiles, glass, and food
industries. Javelin combines
proven IRCON optics its
sensor has an optical
resolution of D/30 with two focal distances and
IRCONs unique micro-processor digital circuitry for
accurate ambient sensor compensation and digital
linearization. The Javelin sensor has additional optical
resolutions with standard focal distances and its
shatter-proof plastic lens provides solutions for many
food and pharmaceutical applications. This series of
instruments incorporates the stainless steel housing
and a rugged unbreakable plastic lens. Temperature
ranges vary from -20 to 200C (0 to 400F) and are
ideal for measuring food molds, pill coating, plastic
films and thermoforming of food containers.
The electronic components of the Javelin sensor are
encased in a NEMA 4 (IP65) stainless steel housing.
Dont let the slim design fool you, the Javelin is as
rugged as any IRCON product. The sleek Javelin
built of stainless steel is only 7.8 in. (198 mm) in
length and 1.5 in. (38 mm) in diameter, and is easily
installed on any machine. Optional air purge and air/
water cooler accessories provide increased
accuracy under adverse conditions.
Javelin comes packed with features that are easily
adjusted using two push buttons. The operator can
quickly select the peak picker, emissivity, response
time, and either one of two outputs that best fits the
desired application. Selection is verified on the digital
display located inside the housing. Utilize the peak
picker for consistent temperature measurement of
targets that are intermittent, or that have intermittent
interferences such as smoke, steam or dust. Emissivity
can be selected from 0.10 to 1.00 in 0.01 increments,
and users can choose among five response times: 165
ms; 400 ms; 1 second; 3 seconds; and 10 seconds to
95% of scale.
Javelin provides two different linear outputs, one of
which may be used at a time: 0 to 10 Vdc, or 4 to
20 mAdc. Due to the Javelins repeatable accuracy
of 0.3%, you can be confident with the results of your
readings. Most impressive is that with all the features to
ensure the accuracy of your temperature sensing
applications, the Javelin still comes at a price point as
small as its compact housing.

Accessories
A separate air purge is available for use with the
Javelin. The air purge protects the lens from air
borne particles that may otherwise interfere with the
accuracy of your readings. It requires a 3.00 cfm flow
of clean air. An optional air or water cooler is also
available. The air cooler allows the sensor to operate
in an environment of 0 to 150C (-17 to 302F), while
the water cooler allows the sensor to operate in an
environment of 0 to 200C (-17 to 392F).

Note:
For distances greater than
18 (457 mm), use this
formula to calculate
spot size.
d (in) = 1.8 + (D/18) 0.15
d (mm) = 46 + (D-460) 3.8

Cone of Vision
The diagram below shows the spot sizes as the target
moves away from the sensor. The standard and close
resolution is shown in the chart below. The special
resolution for the Javelin plastic lens is also available.
Note that the target should be at least two times larger
than the spot being measured. If the target is smaller than
the spot, the sensor has to be brought close enough so
that the spot is smaller than the target. The cone of vision
must not be obstructed by any object such as the edge
of a furnace or mounting bracket. The obstruction can
cause an error in the temperature indication.
