The Cal Sensors’ PIREPLUS consists of the PIRE infrared emitter and the associated drive electronics module. The components have been designed as a system to provide maximum output over a range of pulse frequencies.

The PIRE emitter (SPF220-5M2) has been designed to optimise both heat-up and cool-down performance of the filament, producing typical pulse frequencies of 180Hz at 50% modulation depth.

The associated drive electronics are matched to the emitter to provide the optimum drive waveform over a range of frequencies and ensure peak output temperatures at all frequencies.

Together these components provide the customer with a convenient source of pulsed infrared energy that can be used to improve the performance of infrared detection systems.

Applications include; Gas analysis, medical and industrial, environmental monitoring, spectroscopy, process control systems, and plastics sorting.
