1.2 Product Description
The RM-G212 is a 16X4 array of thermopile sensors suitable to detect thermal
radiation and measure temperatures without making contact with the object.
The RM-G212 utilizes innovative non-contact temperature measurement
technology to create a highly cost-effective thermography solution.
Covering a -20°C to 300°C temperature range, this 16 x 4 element far infrared
(FIR) thermopile sensor array produces a map of heat values for the target
area in real time, avoiding the need to scan the area with a single point sensor
or the use of an expensive microbolometer device.
The RoBoard Module RM-G212 is an 16x4 thermal array module, simply and
all done through I2C interface, the dimension of it is wee as 20 x 20 mm.
Application:
Comfort Sensing
misting/fogging detection and prevention
Seat Occupant Detection
Vision Systems (Night, Fog, Avoidance, Tracking)
Access Control
Motion Sensor
Temperature measurement
Alarm and Security Systems
Room Temperature Sensing
Anti-Theft Protection
Temperature measurement
Machine Vision
Diagnosis Systems
