Advanced Peak/Valley Hold with Averaging:
C=250.0
threshold: 250°C
AA=15.0
averaging time (90%): 15 s
18.6 Dynamic Data
All temperature related information is calculated multiple times per second. To request the dynamic
data, the following commands are available:
?T
target temperature
?I
internal temperature of the sensing head
?XJ
internal temperature of the electronics housing
?Q
energy value of the infrared temperature
?XT
trigger set point (active/inactive) for the FTC3 input
To check for resets (e.g. power shut down), use the command XI. Notice, after a reset, the unit is new
initialized.
?XI
asks for the reset status
!XI0
no reset occurred
!XI1
a reset occurred, new initialization of the unit
XI=0
sets the reset status back to 0
18.7 Device Control
18.7.1 Output for the Target Temperature
The signal output can be set to 4 – 20 mA, 0 – 20 mA or V. If current output is activated, the output can
provide a predefined current:
XO2O=4
mode to 4 – 20 mA for output 2
O2O=13.57
output of a constant current at 13.57 mA at output 2
O2O=60
switches back to the temperature controlled output
18.7.2 Analog Output, Scaling
According to the temperature range of the model, it is possible to set a maximum voltage/current
value according to a temperature value (e.g., the maximum current 20 mA shall represent 200°C /
392°F). The same setting is possible for the minimum value.
H2O=500
the maximum current/voltage value for output 2 is set to 500°C
L2O=0
the minimum current/voltage value for output 2 is set to 0°C
Remark: You cannot set this value for thermocouple output. The minimum span between the
maximum / minimum settings is 20 K.
18.7.3 Alarm Output
The alarm output (see section 6.4
object temperature
head ambient temperature
KH=0
no alarm control
KH=1
object temperature drives alarm control
KH=2
head ambient temperature drives alarm control
KB=0
relay contacts permanently open

Questions and answers
I am currently installing 4 modules, each with 2 of the Raytek MI3 units. 7 of the units arrived with the normal display (Bottom Unit in photo), but 1 has only a full white block in the display. Is this indicative of a failed unit, or would this require external adjustments. These units always work when received, so I am unfamiliar with the required troubleshooting.
