    Safety Intended Use - The thermoMETER CTL is designed for use in industrial and laboratory areas. It is used for non-contact temperature measurement. - The system must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see 3. - The system must be used in such a way that no persons are endangered or machines and other material goods are damaged in the event of malfunction or total failure of the sensor.

  • Page 10: Laser Safety

    Laser Safety Laser Safety The thermoMETER CTL sensors operate with a double laser sight with a wavelength of 635 nm (visible/red), 9.4. The sensors fall within laser class 2 (II). The maximum optical power is ≤ 1 mW. Observe the laser protection regulations! Although the laser output is low, directly looking into the laser beam must be avoided.

    Appendix | Smart Averaging 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.
