Raytek, a leading worldwide provider of infrared thermometry, has introduced the Marathon MM 3M infrared (IR) sensor. It measures low-to-medium temperatures (100 to 600C) with more accuracy regardless of changing emissivity.

The Marathon MM 3M utilizes shorter infrared wavelengths (2.3 µm) in order to minimize errors due to the uncertainty of emissivity. The new thermometer is not as sensitive to changes in emissivity on the target material as long wavelength sensors, and as such, provides more accurate readings across varying targets, at varying temperatures.

The Marathon MM 3M features an IP 65 sealed user interface and precision variable focus optics. These features allow the sensor to be quickly and correctly installed. The precision variable focus optics allows the sensor to be accurately focused with just a touch of a button, while the sealed user interface guarantees the integrity of the electronics. Together these features make the Marathon MM one of the easiest IR sensors to correctly install.

The Marathon MM 3M is the latest addition to the growing Raytek Marathon MM Series – the “New Vision” in IR thermometry. It provides all of the advantages of this advanced sensor platform, including enhanced continuous remote temperature monitoring, ease of installation and sighting, video surveillance and documentation, remote PC interface, flexible configuration, and field calibration software.
