Getting the Best Working Range from the Quasar  

The Quasar device is available in two models, a standard model (Ophir p/n 
7Z01300) and an "Extended Range" (ER) upgrade option (Ophir p/n 7Z01301). 
See the catalog on our website (

more details. 

 

The standard model uses a short antenna, and reaches up to approximately 30m 
working range in an open environment. The "ER" option offers greater radio 
output power, along with a longer right-angle antenna for working at extended 
ranges. It works beyond 100m in an open environment. 

See Getting the Best Working Range from the Quasar for more details about 
optimizing the working range of the Quasar. 

In addition, Ophir offers several thermopile heads with an integral Quasar device 
mounted on the back. This option avoids having the extra wire between the 
Quasar unit and the thermopile head, making the device completely "wireless". 
For more details on using this type of Quasar, see below Using Thermopile Head 
with Integral Quasar.
