  • Page 12: Ambient Temperature

    METIS M3F1 Mechanical Installation Ambient Temperature The M3F1 is designed for ambient temperatures between 0 and DT: internal de- 80°C. Operation outside this temperature leads to incorrect meas- vice temperature urements and may damage the unit. via software To comply with the permitted ambient temperature sufficient dis- tance from the (hot) measuring object is observed.

  • Page 13: Setting The Measuring / Focus Distance

    METIS M3F1 Mechanical Installation Setting the Measuring / Focus Distance The focal distance is the distance at which the lens has the smallest spot size. In most cases, this dis- tance is also the required measuring distance.  With focusable optics, the focus distance can be changed continuously within a predetermined range, so the smallest possible spot size is always achieved.

For further adaptions to the measure- ment task and to configure the inputs and outputs the connection to a PC is required, all settings can be made via the included software SensorTools (see 7, SensorTools Software).

  • Page 15: Transmittance

    METIS M3F1 Configuring the Pyrometer / Pyrometer Parameters The specified values are guide values, which were determined in the laboratory and confirmed in appli- cation-oriented measurements. They can vary due to material-dependent conditions, as in metals addi- tionally to the surface texture alloy components play an important role for the emissivity.

    METIS M3F1 Configuring the Pyrometer / Pyrometer Parameters Time 0.01…25 s: Clears the maximum value after the specified time (note: At too long clear times im- portant temperature information can be lost at sinking temperatures). Trigger: The maximum value is manually generated via an external button or machine contact, as long as the trigger contact is active.

  • Page 18: Upscale-Burnout

    METIS M3F1 Configuring the Pyrometer / Pyrometer Parameters 6.14 Upscale-Burnout In case of sudden shadowing of the pyrometer’s visual field, the output current is set to 20 mA instead of usually the lowest.  Disabled Upscale-burnout (standard): The analog output at sudden shadowing of the pyrometer’s view field is the lowest current (0 or 4 mA).
