  • Page 13: Positioning The Optic Head

    User Guide Fibroptic Thermometer 3.1 Positioning the Optic Head If your UNO Fibroptic thermometer is fitted with a Laser Alignment Unit (e.g. U1 600/1600 C Y L), the laser be used to aid the installation of the thermometer optic head by defining the target area on which the optic head is aligned. This is particularly useful in applications where the target size is small and/or where correct alignment is critical.
  • Page 14: Installing The Lightguide

    Fibroptic Thermometer User Guide 3.2 Installing the lightguide When installing the fibre optic lightguide, observe the following precautions; Ensure that the lightguide is not be subjected to any tension or other undue force. It is not necessary to clamp or lash the lightguide to surrounding structures unless, by leaving it hanging, it will vibrate violently, be a nuisance or a hazard.
  • Page 15: Using The Thermometer

    User Guide Fibroptic Thermometer Using the Thermometer Before final installation of the thermometer, the internal controls (i.e. Emissivity, 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 before removing the chassis from the cover.
  • Page 16: Location Of Controls

    Fibroptic Thermometer User Guide 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. 6. Note The 4-way switch, SW1, is fitted in V series (i.e. ratio) thermometers only. 'O' ring Protection sleeve Control switches Gasket Fig.
  • Page 17: Setting The Emissivity/Non Greyness Value

    User Guide Fibroptic Thermometer 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. 7. 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. e.g. for an emissivity value of '0.83', set SW2 to '8' and SW3 to'3'.
  • Page 18: Setting The Time Functions

    Fibroptic Thermometer User Guide 4.3.2 V series thermometers In V series (i.e. ratio) thermometers, the non greyness value is set using switches SW1, SW2 and SW3. Refer to Fig. 8. The non greyness can be set in the range 0.800 to1.199 in steps of 0.001. The setting of switch SW1 denotes the first figure after the decimal point of the non greyness value.
  • Page 19 User Guide Fibroptic Thermometer 4.4.1 Averager The Averager time function is selected by setting switch, SW5, to position 1 (i.e. up). The Averager response time can be set, via switch SW4, to any one of the ten values shown in Fig. 9. A graphical explanation of the Averager time function is given in Fig.

    User Guide Fibroptic Thermometer 4.7 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 22 Fibroptic Thermometer User Guide 4.7.1 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. 15. Cable Colour Function Yellow...
  • Page 23 User Guide Fibroptic Thermometer 4.7.2 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 24 Fibroptic Thermometer User Guide Notes on DPU interconnections (Fig. 16) ‘To indicator’ The indicator must have a ‘floating’ input i.e. a differen- tial 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. 16 must be made to the DPU.
  • Page 25: Laser Alignment Unit

    User Guide Fibroptic Thermometer Laser Alignment Unit 5.1 About the Laser Alignment Unit The Laser Alignment Unit for Land UNO Fibroptic Thermometers is designed to aid the installation of the thermometer optic head by defining the target area on which the optic head is aligned. This is particularly useful in applications where the target size is small and/or where correct alignment is critical. The Laser Alignment Unit may also be used for finding the correct distance from the target at which to mount the optic head, as the laser image is sharpest at this point.

    User Guide Fibroptic Thermometer 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 application or the temperature of the target is outside the thermometer’s measurement span.
