EXACTUS® HELIOS Pyrometer

A high-precision, portable non-contact pyrometer designed for fast, accurate, and intuitive temperature measurements in industrial environments.

The HELIOS Handheld Pyrometer from BASF ECMS delivers industry-leading precision, portability, and ease of use for non-contact temperature measurement. Powered by proprietary EXACTUS® technology, HELIOS uses dual green lasers to pinpoint the precise target spot, ensuring confidence with every reading. 

Built for demanding environments—glass, steel, petrochemical, calcining and beyond—HELIOS helps streamline workflows with an integrated camera, real-time image capture, and intuitive touchscreen operation. Whether you're out in the field or on the production floor, HELIOS is your go-to tool for reliable temperature insights.

  • Wide temperature range: 500–3000°C (932–5432°F)

  • Industry-leading accuracy: ±1.5°C or 0.15% of measured temperature

  • EXACTUS® dual-laser targeting for pinpoint positioning

  • Integrated camera with real-time image capture

  • Intuitive touchscreen interface

  • Lightweight (600g) and USB-C rechargeable

Powered by EXACTUS® Technology

EXACTUS® technology is the heart of HELIOS, enabling accurate measurement positioning through dual visible green lasers. The result? Consistent, reliable readings in even the most challenging field conditions. Combined with a user-friendly touchscreen and real-time image capture, HELIOS sets a new standard for portable pyrometers.
