RayTek Raynger MX4 User manual

The Professional’s Choice
The new Raynger MX family of handheld, infrared thermometers takes noncontact temperature
measurement technology into the future. Designed for ease-of-use, unmatched performance,
and new laser technology, the MX is the professional’s tool of choice.
Enhanced Features and Accuracy
The MX features an optically matched coaxial laser sighting system, that precisely and accurately
outlines the target measurement area. Improved optics (D:S 60:1) allow temperature measurement
from any distance, and the bar graph display automatically charts the last 10 temperature points
using maximum and minimum temperature values to establish the range. The locking trigger allows
continuous temperature monitoring.
The MX2 is the standard model. Just point, shoot, and read. The MX4 is the high-performance
model that accepts K & J thermocouples, thermistor (NTC), power input, and allows for data
output. The MX4+ package includes Windows™ -compatible data management software, a
thermocouple K probe, an RS232 computer cable, and a plug-in power supply. A useful table
of 30 preset material emissivity listings is easily accessed on both the MX4 and MX4+. Simply
scroll to locate the correct material.
Now two new MX models are available. The MXSZ (Subzero) and MXCF (Close Focus) special
purpose models are designed for specialized applications requiring measurement of very low
temperature targets or extremely small target areas. Both MXSZ and MXCF feature Raytek’s
advanced optically matched coaxial laser sighting system and are available in the MX2, MX4 and
MX4+ configurations.
Software
With Raytek graphing software. you can use your computer to organize, display, and print
temperature and time data. The software also includes the ability to store data points, continuous
or manual single-point recording, programmable time intervals, temperature scales and limits,
built-in material table of emissivity values, customizable log locations, and displays both contact
and infrared temperatures.
MX4+ Package includes: Windows-compati-
ble data management software •thermocou-
ple K probe •RS232 computer cable •plug-
in power supply.
Windows-compatible MX4+ software graphs
both contact and noncontact temperature points.
