Profile: Linear Laboratories Corporation offers non-contact portable infrared temperature sensors. The C-1000 and C-1600 Series infrared thermometers are self contained, battery-operated devices for non-contact temperature measurement. Each unit consists of a probe and display unit. The power source is a single 9-volt alkaline battery and uses a liquid crystal display to enter commands and display data. The probe easily attaches to the display unit for single-handed operation. The C-1000 and C-1600 utilize a passive sensor which receives and measures infrared radiation from an object. Since temperature is measured without contact, heat is not removed from the measured object, and hence accuracy of the reading is assured. Measurements are very rapid (less than one second) so that thermal patterns and transient phenomena can be observed. The thermometers contain nonvolatile memory which allows the system to remember previous settings upon power up. The C-1000 and C-1600 thermometers are used in the pharmaceutical industry for tablet drying, affixing labels and package sealing.

The company was founded in 1980, has revenues of USD 25-50 Million. NASDAQ:SAFE (SEC Filings)
