  • Page 18: Using The Thermometer

    Thermometer User Guide Using the Thermometer Before final installation of the thermometer, the internal controls (i.e. Emis- sivity, Averager response speed or Peak picker decay rate) must be set to match the particular measurement location. This involves removing the internal chassis from the thermometer cover. 4.1 Removing the chassis from the thermometer cover Caution Ensure that the thermometer is disconnected from the power supply...
  • Page 19: Location Of Controls

    User Guide Thermometer 4.2 Location of controls The Emissivity/Non greyness and Peak Picker/Averager control switches are located on the left hand circuit board (When viewing the thermometer from the rear). See Fig. 7. Note The 4-way switch, SW1, is fitted in V series (i.e. ratio) thermometers only.
  • Page 20: Setting The Emissivity/Non Greyness Value

    Thermometer User Guide 4.3 Setting the Emissivity/Non Greyness value 4.3.1 U series thermometers In U series (i.e. single wavelength) thermometers, the emissivity value is set using switches SW2 and SW3. Refer to Fig. 8. The emissivity can be set in the range 0.10 to 1.09 in steps of 0.01. When switch SW2 is set from 1 to 9, this denotes the first figure after the decimal point of the emissivity value.

    Thermometer User Guide 4.6 Refitting the chassis into the thermometer cover When all internal controls have been set to suit your requirements, refit the thermometer chassis into the cover. Ensure that the gasket is fitted correctly on the inner face of the ther- mometer rear panel.
  • Page 25 User Guide Thermometer If the required target is not within the graticule, adjust the thermometer mounting until the target fills the graticule. NOTE A range of thermometer mounting accessories, to suit all measurement locations, is available from Land Instruments International. Turn the focus ring to bring the target into focus.
  • Page 26: Electrical Connections

    Thermometer User Guide 4.8 Electrical Connections NOTE Do not connect UNO thermometers to Land System 4 Signal Processors. The electrical connections for the thermometer power supply, Peak picker reset and temperature output are made via the 6-way socket on the rear of the thermometer.
  • Page 27 User Guide Thermometer 4.8.1 Cable connection schedule UNO thermometers can be connected, via the 6-way socket, to any compatible power supply and display equipment. A description of the required connections is given in the cable connection schedule, Fig. 17. Cable Colour Function Yellow 4 to 20mA linear temperature signal drive...
  • Page 28 Thermometer User Guide 4.8.2 Recommended wiring scheme It is recommended that the UNO thermometer is used in conjunction with the Land DIN Power supply Unit (DPU). In addition to providing the correct power supply voltage for the thermometer, the DPU has simple connections for mains supply, temperature output signal and Peak Picker reset command signal.
  • Page 29 User Guide Thermometer Notes on DPU interconnections (Fig. 18) ‘To indicator’ The indicator must have a ‘floating’ input i.e. a differential or isolated input. ‘Reset control’ The reset control must be electrically isolated from the indicator. When used with an UNO, only the connections shown in Fig. 18 must be made to the DPU.
  • Page 30: Emissivity Tables

    Thermometer User Guide Emissivity tables In order to obtain accurate temperature measurements, the emissivity value of the target surface must be known. This section of the Thermometer User Guide contains emissivity values of the most commonly measured materials for each UNO thermometer. Where no emissivity value is quoted, this means that either the thermometer is not suitable for the measurement applica- tion or the temperature of the target is outside the thermometer’s measure- ment span.
