3.6. Scope of Delivery

The Endurance standard device delivery includes the following:
• Endurance-Series Infrared Pyrometer with integrated sensor head
• Endurance-Series mounting nut (E-MN)
• Fixed mounting bracket (E-FB
• End cap for display (E-ECAP)
• Data carrier with Multidrop Software, Operating Instructions and Quickstart guide
• Printed Quickstart guide

4. Sensor Location

Sensor location and configuration depends on the application. Before deciding on a location,
you need to be aware of the ambient temperature at the location, the atmospheric quality at the
location (especially for 1-Color temperature measurements), and the possible electromagnetic
interference at the location. If you plan to use air purging, you need to have an air connection
available. Also, wiring and conduit runs must be considered, including computer wiring and
connections, if used. The following subsections cover topics to consider before you install the
sensor.

4.1. Ambient Temperature

The sensing head is designed to operate in ambient temperatures between 0°C (32°F) and
60/65°C (140/149°F). The internal ambient temperature can vary from 10°C (50°F) to 72°C
(162°F). Internal temperatures outside this range will cause a failsafe error. In ambient
conditions above 60/65°C (140/149°F), an optional air/water cooled housing is available to
extend the operating range to 120°C (250°F) with air-cooling, or 175°C (350°F) with water
cooling. When using the water-cooled housing, it is strongly recommended to also use the air
purge collar to avoid condensation on the lens. In ambient conditions up to 315°C (600°F), the
ThermoJacket accessory should be used.
When using air or water-cooling with air purging, make sure air and water supplies are installed
before proceeding with the sensor installation.
Water and air temperatures for cooling should be 15-30°C (60-86°F) for best performance.
Chilled water or air below 10°C (50°F) is not recommended. For air purging or air cooling, clean
(filtered) or ''instrument'' air is recommended.

4.2. Atmospheric Quality

Smoke, fumes, dust, and other contaminants in the air, as well as a dirty lens are typically not
a problem when using the 2-Color mode (as long as the attenuation is equal in both spectral
bands). However, if the lens gets too dirty, it cannot detect enough infrared energy to measure
accurately, and the instrument will indicate a failure. It is good practice to always keep the lens
clean. The Air Purge Collar helps keep contaminants from building up on the lens.
If you use air purging, make sure an air supply with the correct air pressure is installed before
proceeding with the sensor installation.
