1. Introduction 1.1 General The IR-E series scanning radiation thermometer, having a rotary mirror built in the detector unit, is designed to measure unidirectional temperature patterns of an object without contact and performs the temperature measurement of 50°C to 1200°C.
INST.No.INE-508-P0 2. Configuration The IR-E series scanning radiation thermometer consists basically of the detector unit, the relay box and the high-speed display/processing unit. Unidirectional temperature patterns, trend graphs and thermal images are displayed on the high-speed display/processing unit. The scanning radiation thermometer detector unit (Model IR-E) and the relay box (Model IR-ZEB) are connected with the exclusive connecting cable (Model IR-ZEST or IR-ZESC).
INST.No.INE-508-P0 3. Detector unit The detector unit is a single-color narrow-band radiation thermometer using the detecting element of PbSe (4.0μm measuring wavelength). Its drive power is supplied from the relay box. By scanning the measuring area optically by the hexahedron rotary mirror, it measures unidirectional temperature patterns of an object and transmits the measured temperature as the electric signal of 0 to 1mADC to the relay box.
INST.No.INE-508-P0 3. Detector unit 3.2 Installation The external and mounting dimensions are shown below. Fix the detector unit with 2 pieces of M20 bolts to a fixing plate like a mounting angle, a mounting plate, etc. so that the measurement window is parallel to a measuring area and is positioned with the center line of a measuring area.
INST.No.INE-508-P0 3. Detector unit 3.3 Precautions for installation (1) Vibration and impacts The detector unit is designed to withstand the vibration of 29.4m/s (3G), but vibration or impacts reduce the liability of the detector unit in the long term and cause an unstable measurement by the position movement of a measuring area.
INST.No.INE-508-P0 3. Detector unit 3.4 Layout of connecting cables For connecting the connecting cables, be careful of the following points. Caution (1) Separate the cables from induction heating equipment and power lines. (2) Keep the cables free of deposit of water, oil, etc. (3) Don’t bend the cables extremely or apply any excessive force to them.
INST.No.INE-508-P0 4. Accessories 4.1 Protective case Model: IR-ZEPW When the detector unit is placed under such hostile environment as high temperature, high humidity, smoke, dust, oily smoke, etc., this protective case is used for housing the detector unit. At the cooling-water inlet/outlet and the purge air inlet, R1/2 screws are used. Names Functions Remove this cover to take or wire to the detector unit.
INST.No.INE-508-P0 4. Accessories 4.1.1 Installation Fix the protective case with 6 pieces of M16 bolts to a mounting stand (prepared by you) so that the protective case is parallel to a measuring area and the center of the protective case is positioned with the center line of a measuring area.
INST.No.INE-508-P0 4. Accessories 4.2 Air-purge hood Model: IR-ZEAH When water-drops, dust, smoke, steam, etc. between the detector unit and a measuring area exist and the affection by existence of such substances cannot be ignored, this hood is used to purge such substance with air.
INST.No.INE-508-P0 5. Maintenance 5.1 Periodical maintenance Check the followings periodically or if required. • Cleaning of optical components Cleaning of optical components of this trace thermometer is regularly required. If the cover glass or the lens is splotched, remove it with a blower for cameras. If the splotch cannot be removed with the blower, wipe the cover glass or the lens gently with a cotton ball or gauze soaked in alcohol.

(8) Check if the emissivity of a measuring area fluctuates. (In case of moving objects especially) Despite the above inspections, when a cause does not become clear, inform your nearest CHINO’s agent/distributor of the state and phenomena of equipment. At this time, do not touch internal mechanisms/circuits by hands.
