CSvision Series
High-Performance Ratio Pyrometers with Video and Laser-Sighting & BRF-Technology

The CSvision is a new and innovative ratio infrared sensor that addresses the challenges of seeing into a high temperature metal process environment and aligning the sensor precisely to measure the temperature in the intended location. Unlike older through-lens sighting sensors, the CSvision combines an integral camera with a variable brightness reduction filtering (BRF) system that makes it possible to visualize and target a metal part that would otherwise be too bright to see. The variable focus optics allow for flexible positioning of the ratio sensor which delivers crisp, clear images that can be reviewed in real time during setup or after on an Android mobile phone loaded with the Optris IRmobile Android app or with Compact Plus Connect software.
High temperature metal measurements up to 3000°C can be made more accurately even where dust or vapors attenuate infrared signal using the ratio measurement technique. A new Smart Ratio Mode (SRM) adopts the optimal slope for more challenging measurement applications on low emissivity metal targets.

The novel ratio Optris CSvision pyrometer redefines non-contact temperature measurement, delivering consistent and repeatable results. As temperatures rise, and object’s emitted radiation increases across the wavelength range, and the CSvision’s ratio-based approach excels in capturing these changes. Unlike single-color pyrometers, which rely on intensity measurements, the CSVision measured infrared radiation at two closely spaced wavelengths, providing unparalleled accuracy.
One standout feature of the Optris CSvision is its ability to provide reliable measurements even in adverse conditions. Unlike single-color devices, a ratio pyrometer can deliver accurate results when the emissivity is unknown or changes with temperature. This flexibility is crucial in various scenarios, such as when the measuring spot is not fully on the object, or the object is smaller than the pyrometer spot size.
The CSvision’s two-color measurement principle offers resistance to dust, smoke, steam, and dirty observation windows. It remains reliable even with up to 90 percent attenuation caused by changing transmissions in the optical path. Additionally, the two-color approach allows precise temperature measurements when the object is not fully placed on the pyrometer spot or is in rapid motion.
Aligning the sensor is effortless with the innovative video sighting and crosshair laser of the CSvision series. The switchable two-step brightness reduction filter further enhances visibility, making it easy to focus on very bright objects.
The CSvision series offers a wide temperature measurement range from 550 °C to 3000 °C, with a superior optical resolution of up to 150:1. The internal motorized focus enables contactless measurements from variable distances. Setting up and monitoring processes are streamlined with the IRmobile Android app or CompactPlus Connect software.
Flexibility is a key highlight of the Optris CSvision, supporting various analog and digital outputs, including 2x 0/4 – 20 mA, 0 – 5 V, 0 – 10 V, USB, RS485, Modbus TCP, ProfiNet, and Ethernet IP. The ratio pyrometers adaptability extends to adverse environments, operating from 0 °C up to 65 °C without additional cooling.
Manufactured in Germany, the CSvision’s rugged design makes it and ideal tool for critical temperature control in industrial manufacturing applications. Industries such as metal and semiconductor manufacturing benefit from its adaptability, durability, and accuracy, ensuring precise temperature measurements in challenging environments. The Optris CSvision stands as a reliable choice for those seeking excellence in non-contact temperature sensing technology.
