10.6 Shadow Monitoring

The linescanners can be hindered from monitoring the complete kiln by physical obstructions and also
by shadows from the tires. With the Shadow Monitoring Package (XXXTCS200SM) up to 32 additional
pyrometers can be installed and configured to monitor these "shadowed" portions. The temperature
values from these pyrometers are integrated in the scanned data from the linescanners and the results
are displayed as one homogenous thermogram.
For an overview of a system configured with Shadow Monitoring, see section 13.2
with Accessories, page 115.

Mounting:
The recommended MI3 sensor mounting is shown in the figure below. The angular alignment of the
sensor head reduces the risk of possible contaminations on the optics.

Wiring:
For an installation of two or more shadow sensors in a network, each MI3 communication box is
wired parallel to the others. You may connect up to 32 units. Make sure to deactivate the preset shunt
resistor for all units except for the last one in the chain. The switch for activating the shunt is found on
