MEMS Thermal (IR*1 sensor) measures the surface temperature of objects without touching them when the thermopile element absorbs the amount of radiant energy from the object.
D6T series sensors can detect the slightest temperature changes that can be used in variety of applications including energy-efficient home appliances and security systems. The sensors can also be used in the application fields of HEMS (Home Energy Management System) and BEMS (Building Energy Management System).
Recommended type: D6T-44L-06 (4×4−element / viewing angle: X=44.2 Y=45.7° / Object temperature range: 0 – 50°C)
D6T sensors let you measure temperature without the need to physically touch the object. This allows measuring temperature where it was not possible for contact thermal sensors due to space shortage. The sensors can be used in a wide range of applications including FEMS (Factory Energy Management System).
Both the pyroelectric sensor and non-contact MEMS thermal sensor can detect even the slightest amount of radiant energy from objects such as infrared radiation and convert them into temperature readings. However, unlike pyroelectric sensor that relies on motion detection, non-contact MEMS thermal sensor is able to detect the presence of stationary humans (or objects).
