Dexter Research Center, Inc.
Since 1977, Dexter Research has been the preferred provider of infrared thermopile detectors for science and industry. Today we offer the world's largest selection of thermopile-based solutions including high-quality, high-output Bismuth-Antimony thin film and silicon-based infrared-sensing thermopile detectors. We offer standard detectors in high volumes. We also customize detectors for specific needs. Integrated modules serve as complete sensing subsystems.

Request to Exit Sensor - Motion/Presence Sensors
-
Thermacon - Request to Exit Sensor, Concealed Passive Infrared Motion SensorA concealed and totally silent passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor that detects the presence of natural body heat and activates a relay. Relay activation begins when the detection area is entered and remains on for the duration of the preset relay timing. The unit is designed for concealed and easy installation in suspended ceilings. Four interchangeable detection patterns are standard with each unit. Units accept a power supply range of 12 to 24 volts AC or DC

Fire Suppression/Detection
-
Dexter's sensitive yet rugged fire detectors, or fire sensors, serve as the foundation of US combat fire suppression systems on combat aircraft and ground vehicles ranging from the HUMVEE to the Abraham's Tank. Our fire sensors consume low energy, making them the premier safety component on battery-powered as well as hot-wired systems. We like to call them "the eye that never sleeps." How fast are they? Fast enough to race the fire caused by a rocket hitting a fuel tank and win, triggering fire suppression on the spot to help protect soldier and pilot alike. Rugged missions require rugged equipment. Intensive MIL-STD-883H testing performed by Trialon Corporation, an independent testing facility, confirm that Dexter Research's silicon-based temperature sensor detectors meet the same rugged requirements of 1,000G's for mechanical shock and 30G's in random vibration for which our thin-film detectors are famous.

Gas Analysis
-
Our infrared gas detectors provide superior sensitivity and reliability that may be translated into a more effective early warning system when monitoring atmospheres for gases at trace levels. Our technology also offers the opportunity to perform sophisticated gas analysis. One example: To assure personal safety during a medical procedure, our gas detectors deliver a precise monitoring of the ratio of exhaled gases of a hospital patient who is under general anesthesiology. Another example, no canary need die in a mine if Dexter gas detectors are installed on the job. Infrared lead detectors, whether mobile or mounted, can be a critical element in your health and safety strategy at home and on the job, whatever life forms it is your responsibility to protect.
