General Description

Infrared thermometers with built in contact type thermocouple probe.
This dual sensors thermometer can be very useful while both non-contact and contact temperature measurements are required.
Some models with food grade requirement are specially designed for food service application.

Anti-Thermal Shock Feature

IRT (Infrared Thermometer) is an instant magic.
When you take it from outdoor to indoor (or from one room to another room), you have to wait for 30 minutes. "30 minutes" is absolutely not "instant". Most of IRT suffered from such flaw.
By Many-year-experience in high precision clinical infrared thermometer (in EN12470, Error due to 10degC thermal shock must be less than 0.2°C) Finite Element Analysis of heat transfer; ZyTemp had overcome this barrier.
A simple test, according to the test method described in EN12470 Paragraph 7.6 Testing for compliance of accuracy under changing environmental conditions, clearly shows that ZyTemp TCT1 performs better than competitor's model, which usually has a higher price than TCT1.
Error of M model can reach 1.6°C and require 30minutes to stabilize, while TCT1 is only 0.7°C and stabilize in 7minutes.
Since a test can be easily performed, you don't have a standard & stable blackbody:
Setup a very stable target . Hint: use a large milk bottle (2 liter), fill the bottle with water, wait for 3 hours to stabilize, that's a very stable target, with thermal time constant about 100 minutes
Put the IRT outdoor (say 15°C) for 1 hour.
Bring IRT back to indoor (say 25°C),
Measure the temperature of the Bottle by the IRT every minute.
You will find the reading drift within 30 minutes unless it's a ZyTemp Anti-Thermal Shock IRT: TCT102 or TCT103.

ThermaTwin General Description

ThermaTwin Overview
ThermaTwin is the ideal multi-purpose tool for temperature measurements. It contains two reliable sensors:

• An infrared sensor made through a micro machining thermopile process.
• A Teflon-coated stainless steel probe, which acts as a thermocouple.

This dual function tool fulfills most temperature measurement requirements. The non-contact IR sensor can be used for instantaneous, hard-to-reach, and surface-oriented measurements. The thermocoupler functions as the dual of the former: accurately measuring subsurface temperatures.

More Sensors at Lower Cost
ThermaTwin implements an innovative technology, placing integrating two sensors seamlessly into one package. They share the same preamplifier, precision analog to digital converter (ADC), CPU, and LCD. Thus, making the cost of the thermometer the same as if there were only one sensor.

One can discover the emissivity of an object with the ThermaTwin. Simple use the ThermaTwin's metal rod to touch that object to get the (contact) temperature, then use the non-contact sensor to obtain that surface temperature. Later, adjust the emissivity until the thermometer displays the same temperature. Now you know the correct emissivity of the object.

ThermaTwin offers several different kinds of probes:

• Penetration: for insertion into the interior of an object
• Needle: a sharp penetrating probe that produces a fast response
• Air
• Liquid: similar to penetration, but with a round tip
• Surface

The ThermaTwin is designed for many types of applications:

• Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP)
• Heater Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
• Science lab
• Classroom
• Kitchen

The Certificate of Calibration for the ThermaTwin is available upon request.

Available Probes: The hot junction is grounded to the sheath.

Typical Error of Reading

A typical error of reading is not a simple figure, it's a function of Tobj (object temperature) & Tamb (ambient temperature)
Because Infrared Thermometer is a "Relative" measurement instrument. (It compares the Tobj against Tamb)
So, the error has a minimum value when Tobj ~ Tamb,
that is when you measure something close to ambient temperature.
For ZyTemp, this minimum value (dTabs) = 0.15°C / 0.27°F ,
usually, our competitor is larger than 0.2°C / 0.36°F
At higher or lower temperature, there is a Gain Error, usually 2%.
Q: Since the spec is "+/-2°C or 2%", is IRT most accurate at Tobj=0°C?
A: No, as described as above, IRT use a "Relative" measurement, IRT is most accurate at Tobj=Tamb,
In other words, when you point the IRT at a "near room temp" object, it will be very accurate.

Q: Can I calibrate my IRT by pointing it to a wall (25°C)?
A: No, even though the Gain run away, the IRT still shows 25°C, you have to use a "Temperature Different From Tamb",
(ex. 0°C or 50°C)  0°C is the most available temperature "standard", for ordinary user.
