The IR-M1700 Series is reflection system on-line thickness meters for the measurement of thickness of polymer films and of coating volume of papers and polymer films utilizing the infrared absorption of moisture. Converting capabilities are built into the compact designed detector unit for easy installation and operation.Maximum 99 calibration curves can be stored into memory for many applications. The unit can be used by itself or by combining with personal computers as an analog output and a communication function are provided with.

A setting display unit connectable with maximum 9 detector units can set various kinds of setting items of the detector unit and displays moisture value.

• Built-in converting capabilities
  The converting capabilities are built into the small, lightweight and compact detector unit.
• Key and display function
  The detector unit has operation keys and digital display function and can be used by the unit itself. In addition, the calibration and the creation of calibration curves at site are easy.
• Measurement with high-speed and high sensitivity
  By high-performance CPU and improved optical components, high speed (output renewal cycle: 28ms) and high sensitive measurement can be performed.
• Setting display unit
  The setting display unit has a front panel of 96 x 96mm and can connect with up to 9 sets of the detector unit. The communications interface between the setting display unit and the detector unit is by RS-485.
• Protective structure conforming to IP-65
  The enclosure of the detector unit and the front panel of the setting display unit conform to IP-65 for severe atmospheric condition.
• CE-marking
  CE-marking models are available.
