Mechanical Installation; Power Supply - Omega OS212-MT User Manual

Distance anD spot size
The size of the area (spot size) to be measured determines the distance between the sensor and
the target. The spot size must not be larger than the target. The sensor should be mounted so
that the measured spot size is smaller than the target.
aMbient teMperature
The sensor is designed to operate in ambient temperatures from 0°C to 70°C. For ambient tem-
peratures above 70°C, an air/water-cooled housing will be required.
Avoid thermal shock. Allow 20 minutes for the unit to adjust to large changes in ambient tem-
perature.
atMospheric Quality
Smoke, fumes or dust can contaminate the lens and cause errors in temperature measurement.
In these types of environment the air purge collar should be used to help keep the lens clean.
electrical interference
To minimise electromagnetic interference or 'noise', the sensor should be mounted away from
motors, generators and such like.
Wiring
Check the distance between the sensor and the indicating/controlling device. If necessary, the
OS212 Series sensor can be ordered with a longer cable attached.

poWer supply

Be sure to use a 24 V DC (25 mA) power supply.

mecHanIcal InstallatIon

All sensors come with a 1m cable and a mounting nut. The sensor can be mounted on brackets
or cut outs of your own design, or you can use the fixed and adjustable mounting bracket acces-
sories which are shown below. Note: the sensor should be grounded at one point, either the cable
shield termination or the sensor housing, but not both.
