Infrared temperature magnet with rfid antenna

A sensing system providing a temperature sensory head in electro-mechanical communication with a mobile data collector, the temperature sensory head for sensing the temperature of a machine housing having an RFID tag disposed thereon, the temperature sensory head comprises;

• a body for housing the device, the body having a threaded recess for mounting, the threaded recess for providing electro mechanical communication to and from the device;
• a digital input/output power contact for delivering power to the device and for providing digital I/O signal communication into and out of the device;
• a combination power and control circuit for powering the control circuit and for controlling function of the device;
• an infrared temperature sensor for measuring the sensed temperature of the machine or bearing housing;
• an RFID antenna for reading and identifying the RFID tag attached to the machine or bearing housing;
• a magnet for magnetically attaching the device to the machine or bearing housing;
• the mobile data collector comprising:
• a threaded stud for mounting the threaded recess of the temperature sensory head to the mobile data collector;
• and wherein
• when the device is installed proximate the RFID tag the device initiates an infrared sensor measurement of the bearing housing and transmits the measurement back to the mobile data collector for processing.
