Cyclops L

Cyclops L
Cyclops L Portable Pyrometers are a range of premium quality, highly accurate hand-held instruments that provide accurate temperature readings.

  • Overview +


    Easy to handle, simple to operate, Cyclops L portable non-contact pyrometers provide precise temperature measurements. Easily take measurements in multiple locations and verify on-line pyrometer readings. Durable, yet light weight construction means you can operate it for hours at a time without fatigue.

    Designed for single-handed use, Cyclops L’s high-resolution lens sighting and an ergonomic one-handed use design, make it simple for you to take safe, accurate temperature readings in hostile environments where you will have a spare hand to steady yourself.

    With four, trigger-controlled data-logging modes available, Cyclops L stores up to 9,999 readings internally. Later the recorded data can transferred via Bluetooth or USB to a PC running free Cyclops Logger software to view, analyse the temperature readings.

    Several models are available for the specific process challenges of liquid metal, high temperature, medium temperature and furnace applications, Cyclops L provide highly accurate temperature measurements for the glass, hydrocarbon processing, industrial processing and steel industries.

    HIGHLY PORTABLE ACCURACY
    Cyclops L function for extended periods, with on-board data storage allowing up to 9,999 measurement points to be recorded inside the thermometer. A rugged instrument jacket protects Cyclops L against harsh conditions.

    EASY TO OPERATE
    Cyclops L range is easy to use – High quality, Through the Lens (TTL) sighting means that you simply look through the eyepiece and focus the lens on the desired target. A small graticule within the view exactly defines the area that's being measured. Then simply pull the trigger. Switch between four modes for data-logging. Temperature readings are displayed within the eyepiece and simultaneously on a second display panel on the instrument's side. This allows a colleague standing next to you to also view the readings. Wireless Bluetooth data transmission further enhances the Cyclops operation.

    UNIQUE ROUTE MANAGEMENT
    Ideal for regular monitoring of sites with multiple measurement locations and verifying readings of permanently installed pyrometers,. Free to download Cyclops Logger software provides configurable measurement routes for your process, uploadable to your thermometer. Pre-configured settings include emissivity and window correction for each measurement location.

    LAND’s portable Cyclops L family is available in a range of models.

  • Frequently Asked Questions +


    Question Answer 

    Which wavelength should I choose?

    As a general rule for a monochromatic pyrometer, you should choose the shortest wavelength that is able to measure the required temperature, This is because the relationship between the intensity of infrared radiation and object temperature is strongest at short wavelengths, thereby reducing the uncertainty associated with changes in emissivity.

    For example, C100L (1.0 µm), C160L (1.6 µm) and C390L (3.9 µm) can all measure an object at 800 °C. However the C100 will give the most accurate measurement.

    Two models are available whose wavelengths have been chosen for specific applications. C055L operates at 0.55 µm and is designed for measurements of liquid metals. It features a Meltmaster mode which uses a special algorithm to provide a stable temperature measurement in the presence of sparks, smoke and other features which can produce sudden changes in the reading of a conventional pyrometer.

    The C390L operates at a wavelength of 3.9 µm, which has been specifically chosen for furnace temperature measurements. This is because flames do not emit radiation at this wavelength, ensuring that the readings are unaffected by flame interference.
    What is the smallest item I can measure with Cyclops?

    Cyclops C055L measures a 28 mm diameter area at any distance between 1 m and 5 m.

    Other models have a minimum spot size of 5 mm at a distance of 1 m.
    What can I do if the measured object is too bright for comfort? Excessively bright objects can affect C100L as it can measure temperatures as high as 3000 °C. It is available in two versions, either 1F (with one filter to reduce the intensity of visible light) and 2F (with two filters, providing a strong reduction in intensity). A removable dark filter is also available which can be placed over the lens in place of the standard clear protection window.
    The 1F model is the most flexible option. It can be used from 600 to 1400 °C with the clear protection window and from 1400 to 3000 °C with the dark filter.
    The 2F model can be used from 600 to 1800 °C without changing the filter, so it is best suited to applications such as glass melt tanks where temperatures between 1200 °C and 1800 °C are common. It can also be used up to 3000 °C with the dark filter.
    Can I use Cyclops in a hot environment?  Cyclops is rated for operation from 0 to 50 °C, so it can be used in most places the operator can work without suffering heat stress. A reflective, thermally-insulating jacket is available to protect the instrument from high levels of radiative heating
    What I/O is available?

    Cyclops can be connected to a PC or Android mobile device for data display and transfer of logged data. Both Bluetooth and USB mini connections are available.
