Communication via Serial Interface / Interface Commands
X=1...3; Debouncing time: YYYY=0x0000...03E8 (0-1000 ms)
Serial interface (only M3)
X=0...1; 0=RS232; 1=RS485 (that followed a baud rate of 19.2 KBd!)
Configure digital inputs/outputs (devices with 12-pin connector)
Bit 0 =1 => inputs 1 active / output 1 inactive, otherwise reversed;
Bit 1 =1 => inputs 2 active / output 2 inactive, otherwise reversed;
Bit 2 =1 => inputs 3 active / output 3 inactive, otherwise reversed;
Configure input X
X=1...5; YY=00...ff
YY=00 – No function
YY=01 – External clearing max. value storage
YY=02 – Targeting light on/off
YY=03 – Activate controller (controller devices)
State of targeting light (optional)
X=0...2; 0= Targeting light off; 1= Targeting light on; 2= Targeting light off toggle
Language 0 = English; 1 = German
Storage mode (maximum value storage)
0 = No storage
1 = Time clearing maximum value storage
2 = External clearing of maximum value storage
3 = Automatic clearing of maximum value storage
Clear time maximum value storage (in 100 µs steps)
XXXXXX=0x000000...03d090 (corresponds 0...25 s)
External clearing of maximum value storage
(Read) temperature range
XXXX=Beginning of temp. range; YYYY=end of temp. range (all in 1/10 degree)
Temperature sub range of pyrometer (Superordinate to the analog outputs)
XXXX=Beginning of temp. range; YYYY=end of temp. range (all in 1/10 degree)
Temp. range analog output X (X=1..2) (0...6553.5 °C/°F)
YYYY= Beginning of temp. range; ZZZZ=end of temp. range (all in 1/10 degree)
Read display temperature (current value) (4-digit hex.)
mw0 = current 2-color reading
mw1 = current reading channel 1
mw2 = current reading channel 2
mw3 = current reading channel 1+2 (4 digit hex.)
mw4 = current reading flame temperature (4 digit hex.)
Special answer format: 0xF001 = Overflow!
activation time of the digital outputs X
X=1...3; YYYY=0x0000...ffff (corresponds 0-65535 ms)
Choice of the temperature channel for digital output X
X=1...3; YY=0x00...ff
00 = 2-color, 01 = channel 1, 02 = channel 2, 03 = sum channel,
04 = display temperature, 05 = flame temperature
Output inversion (logic NO to NC)
Bit0 = 0 (digital output 1 = NO), Bit0 = 1 (digital output 1 = NC),
Bit1 = 0 (digital output 2 = NO), Bit1 = 1 (digital output 2 = NC),
Bit2 = 0 (digital output 3 = NO), Bit2 = 1 (digital output 3 = NC)
Hold time digital output X
X=1...3; hold time: YYYY=0x0000...fffe (corresponds 0-65534 ms)
(ffff => holt time infinite, until controller restart or program restart!)
Outputs (digital output X, X=1...3) YY=0x00...ff (digital function)
YY=00 – no output
YY=01 – device ready contact YY=05 – Over temperature
YY=02 – Material contact
YY=03 – limit switch contact
Automatic targeting light switch-off (optional)
XXXX=0x0000...ffff (0...65535 s)
X=0 => targeting light never turns of; X=1...65535 => switches off after X seconds
Device reset
Soot factor (only flame temperature) 4 digit hex.
XXXX=0x0032...00fah (corresponds 0.50-2.50)
Read signal strength (answer: 4-digit hex in 1/10%)
Hysteresis for signal strength contact (dirty window monitoring)
YY=04 – Controller start/stop (controller devices)
YY=05 – Setup 0
YY=04 – Signal(strength)contact
YY=06 – Setpoint limit 1
YY=07 – Setpoint limit 2
METIS M3F1
YY=08 – Setpoint band
YY=09 – Controller active
YY=0A – Control successful

Do you have a question about the METIS M3F1 and is the answer not in the manual?
