3.1 Environment
Please take note of the following:
•
The maximum ambient temperature for the scanner within the protective housing is 50°C (122°F). If
necessary, add an additional shaded roof to protect the protective housing from direct sunlight or provide
water direct to the scanner.
•
For details on grounding the sensor stand, please refer to the local building codes for lightning protection.
•
The housing of the linescanner and the system connection box must have the same potential – check for
good electrical contact at grounding wire connection.
3.2 Scanner Distance to Kiln
The CS system with one-scanner is suited for small to medium length kilns up to 60 m (200 ft) in length. For longer
kilns a system with two or more scanner will be required.
The linescanner has a 90° scan angle. The distance D between the scanner and the kiln required for complete
coverage of the kiln length L can be calculated as follows:
