Luxtron One

The Luxtron One is the portable fiber optic temperature solution for harsh electrical noise and chemical environments.

The Luxtron One is ideally suited for harsh chemical and high electrical noise environments. The Luxtron One comes with a certified National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable calibration at 100°C, the most accurate calibration available. The Luxtron One does not drift and does not need recalibration EVER, so you will be assured of accurate measurements for the life of the instrument and probe.
Luxtron One Fluoptic Temperature Sensor

The Luxtron One has a measurement range of –10°C to 200°C and an accuracy of ±0.5°C and comes with a 2 meter Luxton One fiber optic probe that is immune to the effects of harsh environments such as EMI, RF, MRI, microwave and high voltage. Unlike metallic thermocouples, thermisters or RTDs, the Luxtron’s fiber optic probes can be used directly in high voltage, electrical and magnetic fields without damage to electrical equipment or the fiber optic instrument.

The Luxtron One probe is also PFA/Teflon® coated so it can also be used in corrosive chemical environments and is 100% non-metallic and non-sparking for flammable and explosive chemical environments.

Examples of Fiber Optic Temperature Sensing Applications Include:

  • Monitoring corrosive chemical experiments
  • Temperature testing of “live” electrical circuit heat testing
  • Temperature sensing in highly flammable or explosive environments
  • Monitoring of dielectric heating (RF and microwave) experiments
  • Microwave temperature monitoring of food processing/experimentation
  • Temperature monitoring of high voltage experiments

Benefits of the Luxtron One Fiber Optic Thermometer:

  • EMI, RF, MRI and microwave immune
  • No drift, no recalibration EVER
  • Intuitive controls for ease of use
  • USB connection for ease of data collection
  • Luxtron One probe is 100% non-metallic and non-sparking
