## Description

The TC01 is a non-contact infrared temperature sensor with a 16×4 pixel array, producing a 64-pixel thermal image. Housed in a waterproof, dustproof metal enclosure (IP65), it communicates via RS485 using the standard Modbus-RTU industrial protocol for easy integration with industrial controllers and PCs. With a detection range of -20°C to 300°C and a wide 60° × 16° field of view, this sensor is suited for contactless temperature monitoring, motion detection, human positioning, and intrusion detection in demanding environments. Key Features 16×4 Pixel IR Array – 64-pixel thermal imaging for temperature mapping -20°C to 300°C Range – Wide industrial-grade temperature detection IP65 Rated – Waterproof and dustproof metal enclosure RS485 / Modbus-RTU – Standard industrial communication protocol 60° × 16° FOV – Wide field of view for area monitoring Non-Contact – Remote temperature measurement without physical contact Specifications Operating Voltage – 9–24V DC Rated Power – 0.1W Operating Temperature – -40°C to 85°C Detection Range – -20°C to 300°C Accuracy – ±1°C to ±5.5°C IR Array – 16×4 pixels Field of View – 60° × 16° Protection – IP65 Interface – RS485 (Modbus-RTU) Probe Diameter – 15.4mm Probe Length – 79mm Cable Length – 1.5m (stripped tin-plated wire ends) Ideal For Industrial non-contact temperature monitoring Intrusion and motion detection systems Human presence and positioning detection Temperature scanning in harsh environments Package Contents 1× TC01 Non-Contact 16×4 Pixel Infrared Temperature Sensor Resources Product Wiki
