Thermal Imaging Camera NIR-656 / NIR-2K If the thermal imager is to be used in conjunction with a protection jacket and air purge, refer to the installation guides provided with those accessories. If the thermal imager is to be installed in a location where the ambient temperature is within the ranges specified for the thermal imager, and no air purging is required to keep the lens clean, the thermal imager can be mounted using the two tapped holes on the mounting pad. Either hole can be used for direct tripod mounting. A swivel ball mounting (S4 - B) is available from Land infrared. This mounting accessory enables you to easily adjust the thermal imager's line of sight. 3.1 Fields of view See also Field of View Diagram (Fig. 2-1). Two fields of view are available: • 16 ° x 12 ° • 48 ° x 36 ° Ensure that the thermal imager has an unobstructed view of the target area...

Thermal Imaging Camera NIR-656 / NIR-2K ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS There is a choice of Power Supply Units available: • Thermal Imaging PSU Module (UL Approved) - Part Nº 813478 • Process Imaging Power Supply (TRACO) - Part Nº 805753 • Process Imaging Power Supply - DIN Rail-mounted (TRACO) - Part Nº 404.156 • Customer’s own + 24V Power Supply Depending on your choice of Power Supply, refer to the manufacturer’s user documentation supplied with your Unit. The electrical connections for the thermal imager power supply are made via the Digital data over 1 GBit Ethernet (M12, 8 pin) and the 8 pin Power socket on the rear of the thermal imager. See Fig. 3-4. Electrical connection to the thermometer must be made via the pre-wired plug and cable. The cable is screened. The screen is connected to the connector shell, and thus to the camera body of the NIR-656 / NIR-2K. The screen must also be grounded at the power supply. There are cable options available for both length and termination at the power supply. For details, see Section 6 ‘Spares & Accessories’. To connect the cable: Refer to Fig. 3-4. Align the red marker near the lugs of the pre-wired plug with the red marker above the keyway in the socket on the thermal imager. Push the plug into the socket. To disconnect the cable: Grip the locking sleeve section of the plug.
NIR-656 / NIR-2K Thermal Imaging Camera 4.1 Connecting the mains input to the TRACO Power Supply Unit The TRACO Power Supply Unit is supplied with a 3-pin AC input connector (Fig. 4-1). You will need to disassemble this connector to install the cable. Unscrew the cover from the mains Input on the Power Supply Unit. Fig. 4-1 The easiest way to disassemble the 3-pin AC input connector is to first screw the connector assembly onto the input socket (Fig. 4-2). Fig. 4-2 Grip the rear section of the input connector and unscrew it from the Power Supply Unit (Fig. 4-3).
Supply Unit to the NIR-656 / NIR-2K Thermal Imager camera via the pre- wired power cable assemblies. Fig. 4-7 4.2 Using an alternative Power Supply Unit If you do not have a TRACO Power Supply Unit, you can use a 24 V DC supply to power the NIR-656 / NIR-2K Thermal Imager. You will need to connect the camera to the power supply via a cable, available from AMETEK Land: Two lengths of cable are available: Length: 20 m / 66 ft, Part Nº 814614 Length: 50 m / 164 ft, Part Nº 814615...
NIR-656 / NIR-2K Thermal Imaging Camera 4.3 Ethernet Communications (Gig-E) Data Output The output from the imager to the PC uses a Gig-E Ethernet link: the cable standard is Cat 6 or higher. The cable must be screened and the screen terminated at both ends. The maximum Gig-E cable length is 80 m. Connect the appropriate Gig-E lead between the 8-pin M12 Ethernet connector on the rear of the imager body to that on the PC. For installations where the imager is mounted within a protection jacket and end cap, a fully sealed connector is not required. For all other installations, and IP65 seal is required at the connector on the rear of the imager. For details of the cable options available, refer to Section 6 ‘Spares & Accessories’.

Thermal Imaging Camera NIR-656 / NIR-2K USING THE THERMAL IMAGER The NIR-656 / NIR-2K Thermal Imaging Camera is designed to be used with software available for download from the AMETEK Land website. • IMAGEPro is available on a 30-day free trial • IMAGEViewer is free Ensure that the imager is powered up and the Ethernet communications cable is installed correctly between the imager and the PC. Run the downloaded software. It may take up to one minute for the software to detect and connect to the imager. IMAGEPro and IMAGEViewer will then automatically display an image of the scene within the camera’s field of view. 5.1 Focusing the thermal imager onto the target If an individual target is to be measured, focus the camera onto the object by gripping and rotating the front window retaining ring. Rotate the ring clockwise to focus on more distant objects: rotate anticlockwise to focus on nearer objects.
