Raytek MX Series Infrared Thermometer
Noncontact Temperature Measurement

  
When the job demands precision and accuracy. Broad temperature range, superior optics and the True Dimension™ double-bright circular laser sighting system make the MX series thermometers the most advanced portable thermometers in the industry. The MX series thermometers featuring True Dimension coaxial laser sighting are the only thermometers designed with precise infrared beam tracking, resulting in more accurate measurement.

MX4+NI Nonincendive Model
When safety is a concern and data logging and downloading are required, the new Raytek MX4+ Nonincendive (NI) model thermometer is the product to choose. It has the same great features as the standard MX4+ thermometers with the extra confidence of an approval needed for use in hazardous environments. The MX4+NI thermometer, Factory Mutual approved as a Class I, Division 2 nonincendive device, does not release enough electrical or thermal energy to ignite flammable gases or vapors under normal operational and environmental conditions.

True Dimension Sighting
indicating the true diameter of a measurement spot (90% energy). The target is highlighted at all distances with a center measurement dot and two accompanying diameter markers. At the focal point, where the measurement spot size is the smallest, the dots line up vertically, rotating as the unit is moved closer to or further from the target. This advanced coaxial system uses an extra bright* 635nm laser (tested to the same safety and power standards as less bright laser sights) to clearly highlight the targeted area.

Advanced Display

• 100 temperature data logging capability
• 30 pre-set common material emissivity values
• Adjustable emissivity values (.01 increments)
• Customized log names, alarms, and emissivity


MX Series Accessories and Options
The MX4+ and MX4+NI thermometers additionally include:
• DataTemp MX software
• RS232 computer cable
• Plug-in power supply (110 or 220 volt)
(Power supply and cable not approved by FM for use in hazardous locations)
• Thermocouple K probe

MX2 Options
• Close Focus
•Sub Zero
• NIST Calibration Certification
• Padded Pouch w/Belt Clip
MX4+/MX4+NI Options
• Close Focus*
• Sub Zero*
• NIST Calibration Certification
• Thermistor (NTC probe)
• Portable thermal printer
• Thermal printer paper (5 rolls)
• mV/degree output cable
• Padded Pouch w/Belt Clip
* Not available with MX4+NI

Sub Zero Option
The Sub Zero (SZ) model option is designed for measuring lower temperatures. The SZ model uses an IR sensor specially calibrated to measure freezing temperatures from –50ºC (-58ºF) through 500ºC (932ºF).

Close Focus Option
The Close Focus (CF) option lets you accurately measure very small areas at the Focus Point– where the IR beam narrows. Paired with the True Dimension coaxial laser sighting system, extremely small objects 6 mm (.24 in) at 300mm (11.4”) can be easily measured. Ideal for electrical maintenance and refrigeration trouble-shooting.
