1.1 Description Thank you for choosing the optris® CSlaser infrared thermometer. The sensors of the optris CSlaser series are noncontact infrared temperature sensors. They calculate the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of objects [►9 Basics of Infrared Thermometry]. An integrated double laser aiming helps to mark the measurement spot on the object surface.
General Information 1.2 Warranty Each single product passes through a quality process. Nevertheless, if failures occur please contact the customer service at once. The warranty period covers 24 months starting on the delivery date. After the warranty is expired the manufacturer guarantees additional 6 months warranty for all repaired or substituted product components.
1.4 Maintenance Lens cleaning: Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air. The lens surface can be cleaned with a soft, humid tissue (moistened with water) or a lens cleaner (e.g. Purosol or B+W Lens Cleaner). Never use cleaning compounds which contain solvents (neither for the lens nor for the housing). 1.5 Model Overview The sensors of the CSlaser series are available in the following basic versions: Model...

Consequently, the spot should at all times have at least the same size like the object or should be smaller than that. As an alternative to the optical diagrams, the spot size calculator can also be used on the optris website http://www.optris.com/spot-size-calculator.
3 Mechanical Installation The CSlaser is equipped with a metric M48x1,5 thread and can be installed either directly via the sensor thread or with help of the supplied mounting nut (standard) and fixed mounting bracket (standard) to a mounting device available. CSlaser sensing head Make sure to keep the optical path clear of any obstacles.
Accessories 4 Accessories 4.1 Mounting Brackets Mounting bracket, adjustable in two axes [ACCTLAB] For an exact sensor alignment to the object please activate the integrated double laser. [► 7 Laser Sighting Mounting bracket, adjustable in one axis [ACCTLFB]...
4.2 Air Purge Collar The lens must be kept clean at all times from dust, smoke, fumes and other contaminants in order to avoid reading errors. These effects can be reduced by using an air purge collar. Make sure to use oil-free, technically clean air only.
Accessories 4.3 Water Cooled Housing To avoid condensation on the optics an air purge collar is recommended. Water flow rate: approx. 2 l/ min (Cooling water temperature should not exceed 30 °C) Water cooled housing [ACCTLW] Hose connection: 6x8 mm Thread (fitting): G 1/8 inch The CSlaser can be used at ambient temperatures up to 85 °C without cooling.
4.4 CoolingJacket und CoolingJacket Advanced For higher temperatures (up to 180 °C) the CoolingJacket is provided for CSlaser. Order No.: ACCTLCJ For even higher temperatures (up to 315 °C) the CoolingJacket Advanced is provided for CSlaser. Order No.: ACCTLCJA For detailed information see installation manual.
Accessories 4.5 Outdoor protective housing The CSlaser LT models and the USB server can also be used for outdoor applications by using the outdoor protective housing (Order No.: ACCTLOPH24ZNS). Figure 1: Outdoor protective housing for CSlaser LT Figure 2: Outdoor protective housing with wall with integrated heater, incl.
5 Electrical Installation 5.1 Cable Connections Basic version The basic version is supplied without connection cable. To connect the CSlaser please open at first the sensor backplane (4 screws). Please use a 4-wire shielded cable which you have to conduct through the cable gland. During assembling please make sure the shield gets a safe electrical contact to the sensor housing.
Page 31
Electrical Installation Connector version This version has a connector plug integrated in the sensor backplane. Therefore an opening of the sensor for cable assembling is not necessary. Please use the original ready-made, fitting connection cables which are optionally available. If you want to use own cables please note the pin assignment of the connector (see next page).

Electrical Installation 5.2 Analog Mode If the CSlaser is used as analog device the sensor provides beside the 4-20 mA signal in addition an alarm output (open-collector) on the RxD pin. To activate the alarm output and set the alarm threshold value the software (optional) is needed.
For a digital communication the optional USB programming kit is required. Please connect each wire of the USB adapter cable with the same coloured wire of the sensor cable by using the terminal block. Press with a screw driver as shown in the picture to loose a contact.
6 Emissivity Setting After opening of the sensor backplane [►5.1 Cable Connections] both of the emissivity switches are accessible. For an emissivity setting of 1,00 please turn both switches to 0. Values below 0,10 are not adjustable. For all other switch positions the following applies: 0, S1 S2. Therefore the adjustment range is 0,10...1,09.
Laser Sighting 7 Laser Sighting The CSlaser has an integrated double laser aiming which helps for the alignment of the sensor. The measuring spot is located within the two laser points. At the focus point of the according optics [►2.4 Optical Charts] both lasers are crossing and showing as one dot the minimum spot.

The supply line for the sighting laser must be led via a switch or pushbutton, which has to be installed max. 2 m away from installation site of the sensor. The laser can be activated/ deactivated via this, by the user on site to be installed switch, or via the software.

8.2 Communication Settings Serial Interface Baud rate: 9600 baud Data bits: Parity: none Stop bits: Flow control: Protocol All sensors of the CSlaser series are using a binary protocol. To get a fast communication the protocol has no additional overhead with CR, LR or ACK bytes. To power the sensor the control signal “DTR“...
9 Basics of Infrared Thermometry Depending on the temperature each object emits a certain amount of infrared radiation. A change in the temperature of the object is accompanied by a change in the intensity of the radiation. For the measurement of “thermal radiation”...
Emissivity 10 Emissivity 10.1 Definition The intensity of infrared radiation, which is emitted by each body, depends on the temperature as well as on the radiation features of the surface material of the measuring object. The emissivity (ε – Epsilon) is used as a material constant factor to describe the ability of the body to emit infrared energy.
and take the temperature of the sticker. Afterwards, determine the temperature of the adjacent area on the measuring object and adjust the emissivity according to the value of the temperature of the sticker. ► Cove a part of the surface of the measuring object with a black, flat paint with an emissivity of 0,98. Adjust the emissivity of your infrared thermometer to 0,98 and take the temperature of the colored surface.
Appendix C – Smart Averaging The average function is generally used to smoothen the output signal. With the adjustable parameter time this function can be optimal adjusted to the respective application. One disadvantage of the average function is that fast temperature peaks which are caused by dynamic events are subjected to the same averaging time.
