Infrared Temperature Sensor for TDR 150 – Fast and Non-Contact Surface Temperature Measurement | Spectrum Technologies

The Infrared Temperature Sensor for TDR 150 enables non-contact surface temperature measurement directly integrated into the TDR 150 soil moisture meter from Spectrum Technologies. It provides instant, accurate readings of surface, soil, or turf temperature without disturbing the medium. The sensor easily connects via the IR port on the TDR 150 and is mounted using the included template and bracket.

Key Benefits:

• Non-contact measurement: fast, non-invasive surface temperature acquisition.
• Simple installation: guided setup using the included mounting template and bracket.
• High accuracy: ±0.5 °C (±0.9 °F) accuracy between 0 and 50 °C.
• Full compatibility: designed specifically for the TDR 150 system.
• Durable and reliable: compact, rugged design with a protected cable path.

Main Specifications:

• Measurement range: –40 °C to +100 °C (–40 °F to +212 °F).
• Resolution: 0.1 °C (0.1 °F).
• Accuracy: ±0.5 °C (0–50 °C).
• Optical ratio: 6:1.
• Field of view: 10° cone (measurement area ≈ 15 cm diameter at 8 cm distance).
• Cable length: 17 cm (6.8 in).
• Mounting: rear installation with guide template and clip bracket.

Typical Applications:

• Surface temperature monitoring on sports turf, golf courses, and agricultural soils.
• Correlation of temperature, moisture, and EC data measured by the TDR 150.
• Agronomic and irrigation management studies.

Why Choose This Sensor:

• Instant and accurate readings with no contact or interference with the surface.
• Seamless integration with Spectrum’s TDR series instruments.
• High precision even under fluctuating environmental conditions.
• Comprehensive solution for soil and surface temperature monitoring.
