NIRON II:t On the Spot, Intelligent, Reliable –
t
The First Pro-Active NIR Contact Measurement Head
Lamp failures are not predictable; they are a fact
of life. Consequently tec5 AG have not only chosen
a lamp with long life time of 10,000 hours, but also
integrated an identical lamp to guarantee system
reliability in the new NIRON II head.

The measurement head is ideally suited for contact
measurements of granules, powders, silage and
turbid fluids with a maximum penetration depth of
approx. 17 mm.

Features
❚t Rugged design
❚t Dust and splash water protected according
t to IP65 protection class
❚t Redundant long-life halogen lamps, with
t a lifetime of 10,000 hours each
❚t Automated lamp monitoring
❚t Integrated white reference

❚t Status information available on key functions
❚t SMA connector for adaptation to spectrometer t
t system via optical fibers
❚t Power Supply: 24V DC
❚t RS-485 Interface (standard), alternatively
t RS-232 and RS-232 optical

Measurement Head NIRON II
NIRON II is an active measurement head, designed for
contact measurements on powders, granules and turbid
fluids in the NIR wavelength range. The head illuminates
the sample with a 45°/0° angle configuration and contains
two long-life halogen lamps of 10,000 hours lifetime each;
one in operation and one as a spare. An internal reference
standard is integrated in order to provide automatic reference intensity. A sophisticated electronic control checks the
function of lamps and motor for reference upon startup. During operation of the measurement head, the function of the
lamp is supervised continuously. In case of failure, the spare
lamp is activated and failure is communicated in a status
message. Moreover, as a saftey feature the head and PCB
temperature are monitored continuously in addition to

The module is available with various communication inter-

operation hours of the two lamps and head.
