  • Page 3 The PyroMini Series is a range of miniature non-contact infrared temperature sensors with separate electronics modules. All models have an adjustable emissivity setting and are capable of measuring a wide variety of target materials, including food, paper, textiles, plastics, leather, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, rubber, coal and asphalt.
  • Page 4 Maximum 95% Maximum 95% Maximum 95% non-condensing non-condensing non-condensing CE Marked RoHS Compliant The PyroMini series conforms to EMC Directive EN61326-1:2006 (Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use – Industrial) as well as industrial standards for electromagnetic immunity and emissions.

    Lock/Unlock Prevents settings being changed via a four-digit numerical code. The default password is 1234. Change Password Enter, confirm and save a new four-digit code. Start/Stop Logging Manually begins or ends data logging (requires MicroSD Card, available separately). If Scheduled Start is enabled in Settings > Data Logging, then logging cannot be started manually.

    Emissivity and Compensation Enter the emissivity of the target. Target emissivity can be determined experimentally, or estimated using an emissivity table. For more information, contact Calex. Enable Reflected Energy Compensation If enabled, compensates for errors caused by reflected energy from hotter or colder objects.
  • Page 12: Alarm Settings

    4 to 20 mA Output (-CRT models) Set the temperature range limits for the 4 to 20 mA output. Temperature at 4 mA The lower temperature range limit. Temperature at 20 mA The upper temperature range limit. Please note The difference between the temperatures at 4 mA and at 20 mA must be at least 100°C.
  • Page 13 The PyroMini can be used as a standalone data logger. PyroMini models -CRT and -BRT include a MicroSD card slot for data logging, which can be configured via the touch screen interface. The user can select the sample rate and the number of samples to be taken and schedule the data logging to start at a certain time.
  • Page 14: Data Logging Specifications

    Modbus address range 1 to 247 USING THE PYROMINI AS A DATA LOGGER 1. Insert a MicroSD card into the holder on the circuit board inside the lid of the electronics module. 2. To retain the date and time when the sensor is switched off, fit a battery to the holder on the circuit board inside the lid.
  • Page 15 INSTALLATION OF MICROSD CARD AND BATTERY MicroSD Card Battery (use 1 x BR 1225 3V) Data is saved to the MicroSD Card in .csv format. This file format can be opened or imported by spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel. A new folder is created on the MicroSD Card for each day that data is logged.
  • Page 16 A range of accessories to suit different applications and industrial environments is available. These may be ordered at any time and added on-site. The following accessories are available from Calex: Fixed mounting bracket (see above for dimensions): Allows rotational adjustment in one dimension.
  • Page 17: Installation

    INSTALLATION The installation process consists of the following stages: Preparation Mechanical installation Electrical installation Please read the following sections thoroughly before proceeding with the installation. PREPARATION Ensure that the sensor is positioned so that it is focused on the target only. DISTANCE AND SPOT SIZE Sensor Target larger...
  • Page 18: Electrical Interference

    ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE The PyroMini is tested to industrial standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) as shown in Specifications at the beginning of this manual. To minimise electromagnetic interference or ‘noise’, the sensor should be mounted away from motors, generators and such like.

    Do not extend or shorten the sensing head cable. The head and electronics module are calibrated as a pair, and modifying the sensing head cable can affect the measurement accuracy. Contact Calex for assistance. The output cable from the electronics module should have an outer diameter between 3.0 and 6.5 mm, with conductors of size 28 to 18 AWG.
