CI Series QuickStart Guide
Use this QuickStart Guide for quick and easy mechanical
installation, electrical wiring, and operation of the CI Series sensor.
Mechanical Installation
The CI Series sensors consist of the following components:
C1 sensor
■
2 mounting nuts
■
1m (3ft) cable
■
Mounting Preparation
The CI sensor must be securely mounted to a vibration-free,
mechanically stable support, away from motors producing large
step-load changes.
To prepare for sensor mounting:
Select a mounting location that ensures the spot size is
■
the same or smaller than the target.
Cut a 19mm (.75in) hole in the panel.
■
Determine if you need Raytek® air purge or air/water
■
cooing accessories.
When operating the CI sensor in ambient temperatures
exceeding 70˚C (160˚F), water cooling is required.
If needed, attach accessories to the sensor.
■
Have a 12-24 VDC 10mA power supply available.
■
Mounting the Sensor
To mount the sensor:
Screw 1 nut onto the sensor until it is more than halfway from
■
the lens.
Insert the sensor into the panel hole and screw on the 2nd nut.
■
Aim sensor and tighten both nuts until sensor is secure.
■
Electrical Installation
There are three types of CI sensors. Each sensor (J Thermocouple,
K Thermocouple, or the 10mV/˚C Voltage) has a different wire color
system. Use one of the following charts specific to your sensor as
a wiring guide.

INCORRECT WIRING WILL CAUSE SEVERE ANd
PERMANENT dAMAGE TO THE SENSOR
Wiring
LABEL IS ON POWER
There is a 4-wire, PVC

cable attached to the
sensor. The cable holds
two pairs of wires and a
bare shield (ground) wire.
