At all inputs:
- Time settings: A debounce time can be selected, that is, a period the signal at least must be
present at an input to be detected.
 Digital output mode. Activates a switching signal:
- No function: The output is deactivated (settings right beside have no
function).
- Ready to use contact: Device is ready and error free after self-test.
- Material contact: Limit switch turns on by exceeding the beginning of
temperature range.
- Limit switch contact: if a certain temperature is exceeded or falling be-
low a threshold.
- Signal strength contact: Signal strength too low (for use as dirty win-
dow alarm: identifies the degree of contamination of the optics or a window or detects interfer-
ences (dust ...) in the beam path and trigger an alarm if activated).
- Device temperature: When exceeding a defined maximum internal device temperature.
Various settings:
- Switching value: Activates the corresponding output at the set switching value (the LEDs 1-3 on
the unit and the software pyrometer window indicate the activated state).
- Hysteresis: The hysteresis is the value at how many degree below the limit value the output is
switched back.
- Logic: The state of the digital outputs (each max. 50 mA, current limited internally) can be set:
- NO (normally open): outputs have in active state 24 volts to the pins and in inactive state 0 V
(output max. 50 mA, current limited internally).
- NC (normally closed): outputs have in active state 0 volts to the pins and in inactive state 24 V
(output max. 50 mA, current limited internally).
- Extended settings: Depending on the selection are either available:
Time settings: A verification time and a hold time can be set:
- Verification time: select "immediately" to activate the output function immediately when hap-
pening. A time between 1 and 65535 ms delays the activation accordingly.
- Hold time: A time can set to remain activated output for a desired time.
- None: signal is active as long as the function is active
- Process start: signal is active up to the next start (of a program or manual start)
- Time value (between 1 and 65534 ms): signal is active for the entered time.

Click on an output check box to activate the corre-
sponding output 1, 2 or 3 (only possible for selected
digital outputs). A green LED symbol signalizes the
activation.
Digital inputs are marked with a green lamp symbol if
connected and active.
Activation of outputs 1, 2 or 3 will also activate the
LEDs on the pyrometer.
To check digital inputs and outputs for errors.
CAUTION when using the Test function with connected systems!
Using the test function will activate the selected outputs.
All connected systems will start working.
Always pay attention to the security instructions of these systems!
