The NEW DHS40 High Performance Heat Spy Handheld Infrared Pyrometers are an updated and expanded line of our classic high performance Heat Spy line. This industrial infrared temperature sensor series features an accuracy of up to 0.25% of of reading and 1°C / 1°F resolution. Available in 10 different spectral ranges and temperature ranges, the DHS40 Handheld Infrared Pyrometer has the most options of any manufacturer.

The DHS40 series is available for use with Ferrous Metal (1M), Hot Metal & Hot Ceramic (2M), and Low Temperature Processes (LT) models. This is the only hand held portable infrared on the market for use with models for Cold Ferrous Metal (3M), Combustion Through Flame (MT), Burning Gas (F4), Glass > 1 mm thick (G5), Glass < 1 mm thick (G7), Thin Film Plastics (P3), and Thin Polyester Films (P7).

The case is made of cast and extruded aluminum for lightweight and rugged durability, as well as additional shielding against EMF interference originating from machinery and engines.

Both photodiode and thermopile sensors are used, depending on the spectral range and applications of each model.
