NCIR Sensor – Digital Infrared Temperature Sensor
The NCIR Sensor serves as a precise infrared device used to measure surface temperatures without any physical touch. Featuring the MLX90614ESF-A, this sensor can handle a broad range of temperatures from -70°C to +380°C. It works well in situations where accurate heat readings are essential.
This sensor works from standard contact devices. It determines temperature by detecting infrared radiation given off by objects instead of requiring direct contact. This makes it useful to measure body temperatures or fragile surfaces without causing harm or contamination risks.
The NCIR sensor measures both object and ambient temperatures with precise readings of ±0.5°C at room temperature. It covers a 90° field of view making temperature checks in a specific area simple and fast. This sensor connects through I2C (address 0x5A), which allows easy compatibility with many microcontroller platforms like Arduino, MCLab, and ESP32.
You can count on the NCIR Sensor to deliver dependable temperature readings for projects like body temperature tracking automated heat detection systems, or smart home setups.
