Thermopile Infrared Sensor
Thermopiles are designed to measure temperature from a distance by detecting an object's infrared (IR) energy. The higher the temperature, the more IR energy is emitted. The thermopile sensing element, composed of small thermocouples on a silicon chip, absorb the energy and produce an output signal. A reference sensor is designed into the package as a reference for compensation. Thermopile infrared (IR) non-contact temperature measurement sensors are available with various lens, and filters allowing use in multiple applications, from industrial pyrometers, to climate controls and medical devices.
