® Impac Series 600 Pyrometer Chapter Product Overview GENERAL DESCRIPTION All substances with a temperature above absolute zero emit radiant energy. Thermal radiation increases with an increase in temperature. An optical pyrometer measures the radiation at a given wavelength, and from that radiant flux, calculates the absolute temperature of the target.
® ® Advanced Energy Impac Series 600 Pyrometer Sensor heads are attached to a 300 mm (11.8″) cable with a male connector on the end for connecting them to a sensor cable or extension cable. The only exception are the high temperature sensor heads, which have an additional 3 m (9′10″) cable attached behind the sensor head to separate the electronics.
® ® Advanced Energy Impac Series 600 Pyrometer UNIT CONNECTORS Depending on the setup for your application, the pyrometer might use one or several of the following connectors. Sensor Head Connectors Sensor heads connect to a sensor cable or an extension cable using a 3-pin connector (male) as shown in the following figure.
® ® Advanced Energy Impac Series 600 Pyrometer Figure 2‑2. Extension cable connectors Sensor Cable Connectors Sensor cables for connecting a sensor head or an extension cable to a converter box, multi-sensor box, or analog box have one 3-pin connector (female) as shown in the following figure.
