5 Installation
5.1 Pre-Installation
The following guidelines will help in planning the installation of the scanner system.
When this instrument is being used in a critical process that could cause property
damage and personal injury, the user should provide a redundant device or system that
will initiate a safe process shut-down in the event that this instrument should fail. The
user should follow the appropriate safety guidelines!
5.1.1 Ambient Temperatures
Without water cooling, the linescanner is designed for ambient operating temperatures between 0°C
and 50°C (32°F and 122°F). With water cooling, it can be used in environments of up to 180°C (356°F),

Water
operation of the linescanner. It is displayed in the ScanView Pro software. The difference between the
external ambient temperature and the temperature inside the housing also depends on the thermal
contact of the linescanner and its mounting hardware.
The temperature inside the housing must be between 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F) during
operation and never more then 65°C (150°F) at any time, including non-operation!
5.1.2 Environment
The linescanner complies with class IP65 and is therefore dust and splash resistant. The linescanner's
window is made of a material that is resistant to thermal stresses and it is equipped with an integrated
air purge system which protects the window against contamination. Air supply for the air purge
should be oil free, clean "instrument" air.
For permanent outdoor installations, add an additional roof to the system to protect it
from weather effects!
5.1.3 Electrical Interference
To minimize electrical or electromagnetic interference, follow these precautions:
Mount the sensor as far away as possible from possible sources of interference such as
•
motorized equipment producing large step load changes!
Ensure a fully insulated installation of the sensor (avoid ground loops!).
•
Make sure the shield wire in the sensor cable is earth grounded at one location!
•
To avoid potential differences use a single power circuit to power both the linescanner and the
•
PC running the software!
5.1.4 Geometry
The smallest possible object which can be measured depends on two conditions:
1. The area measured must be no less than 90% (90% energy response).
