Worlds first launch: Exergen's Micro IRt/c and Novus' N1030 controller for just 199 dollars

EXERGEN GLOBAL AND NOVUS PARTNER TO DELIVER INDUSTRY’S MOST ACCURATE, AFFORDABLE PLUG-AND-PLAY IR TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAMILY

WATERTOWN, Mass. and ZIJTAART the Netherlands, January 3, 2018 - Exergen Global, an award-winning thermal solutions provider, today announced that it is partnering with Novus Automation Inc. to create The Game Changers, a family of exceptionally accurate, small-sized, simple-to-use temperature sensors for a wide range of applications. The new solutions integrate Novus’ N1030 Temperature Controller with Exergen’s IRt/c and micro IRt/c sensors to provide a versatile family of plug-and-play thermocouples.

While competitive sensors claim accuracy rates of 1% and repeatability of 0.1%, those specifications hold true only in ambient temperatures between 64⁰ and 82⁰ F – a very limited range given that many processes such as food preparation take place in settings with extremely high or low ambient temperatures. The Game Changer sensors guarantee accuracy of 1% and repeatability of 0.001% for the industry’s broadest temperature range -- from 32⁰ to 2300⁰ F -- making them ideally suited to a broad range of applications, including graphics/printing/laminating, textiles, medical, aesthetical, food, plastics and others.

“At Exergen Global we understand that accurate and reliable temperature measurement is essential for processes in all ambient temperatures settings – from extreme cold to severe heat – not simply in a limited temperature range,” said Bart van Liempd, CEO Exergen Global. “We worked with Novus to develop the Game Changers to ensure that customers in all industries would have access to affordable, easy-to-use, highly accurate and reliable temperature sensors.”

The Game Changer family is comprised of four different types of IRt/c and micro IRt/c sensors: the versatile K, which provides the widest operating temperature range: from 200⁰ - 2300⁰ F; the T, which measures 32⁰ - 660⁰ F; the E which has a measurement range of 200⁰ - 1650⁰ F; and the J, which measures 200⁰ -1400⁰ degrees F. As with all Exergen sensors, the Game Changers are unpowered, have no drift, offer interchangeability of < 1%, response times between 50 and 150 milliseconds and have MTBF rates of 1000 years.
