2 Introduction 2.1 Appropriate use IN 5/5 plus: The IMPAC pyrometer IN 5/5 plus is a stationary pyrometer especially for non- contact temperature measurement of glass surfaces and quartz surfaces with temperature ranges between 100 and 2500 °C. IN 5/5-L plus: as IN 5/5 plus, with small spot size (temperature ranges between 200 and 2500 °C).

Clearing with clear time t clear value storage: (0.1 s; 0.25 s; 0.5 s; 1 s; 5 s; 25 s), external contact or via interface or also automatically with each new item to be measured Interface: RS232 or RS485 (addressable, half duplex), baud rate 1.2 up to 19.2 kBd,...
Whichever value is greater. The instrument must be at a constant ambient temperature for a minimum of 15 minutes (30 min for IN 5/5-L plus for 200 ... 1300 °C @ T = 0 ... 15 or 30 ... 63 °C) and has to be connected to the power supply. Note: The determination of the technical data of this pyrometer is carried out in accordance with VDI/VDE directive IEC TS 62942-2, “Determination of the technical data for radiation thermometers”.
2.6 Accessories (Optional) Numerous accessories guarantee easy installation of the pyrometer. The following overview shows a selection of suitable accessories. You can find the entire accessory program with all reference numbers in Chapter 10, Reference numbers. Mounting: For easy mounting and aligning the pyrometer to the measured object an adjustable mounting angle is available.
3 Controls and Installation 3.1 Electrical Installation The series 5 pyrometers are powered by 24 V DC nominal (possible range: 18 to 30 V DC, ripple must be less than 0.5 V). When connecting the device to the power supply ensure correct polarity.
3.1.2 Connecting the pyrometer to a PC The pyrometers are equipped with a serial interface RS232 or RS485 (switchable at the pyrometer). Standard on a PC is the RS232 interface. At this interface one pyrometer can be connected if the interface is set to RS232. Only short distances can be transmitted with RS232 and electromagnetic interferences can affect the transmission.
3.1.5 Connection of additional analyzing devices Additional analyzing instruments, for example a LED digital display instrument only needs to be connected to a power supply and the analog outputs from the pyrometer. Another Instruments like a controller or printer can be connected to the display in series as shown above (total load of resistance max.
3.2.2 Thermal alignment When measuring a hot object in front of a cooler background, it usually suffices to align the pyrometer to achieve the highest temperature reading. 3.3 Optics The pyrometers are equipped ex works with one of the following optics. These lenses are focusing to certain distances.

IN 5/5-L plus Note: Please note that the optical profiles show nominal dimensions. The spot size diameter or the focal distance may be slightly different due to lens tolerances. Note: The InfraWin program includes a Spot size calculator that roughly estimates the unknown values.

4 Instrument Settings 4.1 Instrument settings Before using the pyrometer, some basic settings should be taken. The basic settings can be done at the pyrometer itself, some further settings can be done via interface and software InfraWin. Settings at the instrument: The basic settings are emissivity, exposure time, analog output. These settings can be adjusted at the pyrometer only in offline mode (see 5.1 Online- / offline mode (ONL/OFFL)).
5 Settings / Parameter Descriptions 5.1 Online- / offline mode (ONL/OFFL) Offline (OFFL): If the settings directly at the pyrometer should be used (emissivity, exposure time and analog output) the pyrometer must be switched into offline mode (OFFL). In the offline mode these parameters cannot be adjusted via digital interface and PC, they can only be read! This prevents incorrect set-up or undesired changes via the interface.
One way to determine an accurate emissivity value for a material is to make a comparison measurement as follows: If possible, coat a portion of the object with dull black paint or carbon soot. Paint and carbon soot have high emissivities (95%) and take on the same temperature as the object.
5.4 Analog output 0/4 to 20 mA When the DIP switch 2 is in the ON position, the analog output will be 4 - 20 mA, in the OFF position, the analog output will be 0 - 20 mA. The analog output has to be selected according to the signal input of the connected instrument (controller, PLC, etc.).
Operation note: dependent on the settings the maximum value storage either works in single storage mode or in double storage mode: Single storage: the single storage is used when you want to reset the stored value using an external impulse via one contact closure from an external relay (i.e. between two measured objects).
5.9 Ambient temperature compensation Each object has an emissivity ε (maximum 100%). If the measured object is not transparent and has an emissivity of less than 1 (as in most cases), a portion of the resulting radiation will be reflected. For bright, smooth surfaces, such as mirrors, the reflected radiation is more focused;...
5.12 Avoiding reading errors caused by faulty assembly To avoid reading errors, please note the following points when mounting the pyrometer: 1. The diameter of the measuring object cannot be smaller than the pyrometer’s spot size (see section 3.3, Optics). 2.
6 Software InfraWin The operating and analyzing InfraWin software is included with delivery of the pyrometer. In addition to allowing you to make parameter adjustments via PC, the InfraWin software also provides temperature indication, data logging, and measurement analysis features. A software description can be found in the program’s help menu.

7 Maintenance 7.1 Safety Attention during pyrometer services: Should the pyrometer be integrated in a running machine process the machine has to be switched off and secured against restart before servicing the pyrometer. 7.2 Service The pyrometer does not have any parts which require regular service, only the lens must be kept clean.

9 Data format UPP Via interface and a suitable communication software or via “Test” function of the InfraWin software commands can be exchanged directly with the pyrometer. Note: The ONL/OFFL switch must be in the ONL position before adjusting the following parameters via the software (see 5.1).
