® CS infrared thermometer. The sensors of the optris CS series are non-contact infrared temperature sensors. They calculate the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of objects [►7 Basics of Infrared Thermometry The CS sensing head is a sensitive optical system. Please use only the thread for mechanical installation.
If the failure results from misuse or neglect the user has to pay for the repair. In that case you may ask for a cost estimate beforehand. 1.3 Scope of delivery • CS incl. connection cable • Two mounting nuts • Quick start guide 1.800.561.8187...

Installation You can choose between an mV output (0-5 or 0-10 V; scalable via software) and a thermocouple output type K. Therefor the optional software is needed. The factory default setting is mV output. ►2.1 Default settings The thermocouple output supplies a voltage according to the t/c characteristic curve type K. If you want to extend this output you have to use a suitable thermocouple extension cable (NiCr-Ni).
The sensor is offering two ways of digital communication: • bidirectional communication (sending and receiving data) • unidirectional communication (burst mode – the sensor is sending data only) Figure 21: Digital communication 3.2.2 Open collector output In case of long lines there is a drop voltage at the ground wire and the mV-output is distorted. Because of that the brown wire can be used as ground supply and the t/c- wire (type K) as measuring ground.
Installation Figure 22: Open collector output as additional alarm output The open collector output is an additional alarm output on the CS and can control an external relay e.g. In addition the analogue output can be used simultaneously. 3.2.3 Direct connection to a RS232 on the computer For a bidirectional RS232 connection of the sensor the following interface circuit can be used: MAX3381E (manufacturer: Maxim) ►...

7 Basics of Infrared Thermometry Depending on the temperature each object emits a certain amount of infrared radiation. A change in the temperature of the object is accompanied by a change in the intensity of the radiation. For the measurement of “thermal radiation”...
Emissivity 8 Emissivity 8.1 Definition The intensity of infrared radiation, which is emitted by each body, depends on the temperature as well as on the radiation features of the surface material of the measuring object. The emissivity (ε – Epsilon) is used as a material constant factor to describe the ability of the body to emit infrared energy.
8.2 Determination of unknown emissivity ► First determine the actual temperature of the measuring object with a thermocouple or contact sensor. Second, measure the temperature with the infrared thermometer and modify the emissivity until the displayed result corresponds to the actual temperature. ►...
Emissivity 8.3 Characteristic emissivity In case none of the methods mentioned above help to determine the emissivity you may use the emissivity table ► Appendix A and Appendix B. These are average values, only. The actual emissivity of a material depends on the following factors: temperature •...

Appendix D – Smart Averaging The average function is generally used to smoothen the output signal. With the adjustable parameter time this function can be optimal adjusted to the respective application. One disadvantage of the average function is that fast temperature peaks which are caused by dynamic events are subjected to the same averaging time.
