Page 11: Hardware Configuration
User Guide Thermometer Hardware Configuration IQ Series thermometers offer simple analogue ‘plug & play’ and digital methods of communication. The features available on your IQ series thermometer will depend upon what feature set has been supplied. 3.1 Thermometer variants 3.1.1 Basic Variant Features IQ x B variant thermometers are specially designed to offer the maximum in simplicity and economy. -
Page 12: Configuration
RS485 communications converter, in relation to this method of connection. Ask for a quote for Part Nº 806730. These instructions detail how to install and use the IQ Series Windows Configurator Software. This allows a IQ Series thermometer to be configured from any laptop or PC having an RS485 connection. - Page 13 RS485 port NOTE The 1 to 1 (Address 0) mode must not be used if more than one iQ series thermometer is connected to the RS485 port. The 1 to 1 mode enables communication with the thermometer, regardless of the user-settable thermometer address.

Page 14: Laser Alignment
DO NOT attempt to disassemble the laser unit or any of its mounting components. The S, E and P variant IQ Series thermometers are fitted with a laser alignment utility, which can be used to align the thermometer accurately on the required target. - Page 15 User Guide Thermometer There are four methods of activating the laser alignment utility in the IQ Series thermometer: • the laser switch on the rear face of the thermometer (See Fig. 4-1); • a direct connection between pin Com and LSRin on the electrical connector on the rear face of the thermometer.

• Address - the configurator address (1 to 254), default set to 1 • 1 to 1 (Address 0) - used when only one IQ Series thermometer is connected to the RS485 port Note The 1 to 1 (Address 0) mode must not be used if more than one SOLOnet thermometer is connected to the RS485 port. - Page 17 User Guide Thermometer The 1 to 1 mode enables communication with the thermometer, regardless of the unreasonable thermometer address. Where multiple thermometers are to be connected to a shared RS485 bus, the instruments should first be configured separately and given a unique address, so that each thermometer on the shared bus will have a separate address.

Page 33: Emissivity
User Guide Thermometer Emissivity All IQ Series thermometers are factory configured for remote emissivity control using a 0-20mA input across the EMin terminals. Use the table below to calculate the input current required for your desired emissivity/non greyness setting. Values in between those quoted in the table can be found by interpolation. - Page 34 Enhanced and Premium variant thermometers also have the capability to set the emissivity/non greyness digitally. This is done using either the bundled IQ series configuration software or using an appropriate RS485 enabled device sending the thermometer the correct digital messages (see Appendix A –...
