Getting Started
6.1
General installation tips
Install the pyrometer in a location where it will not be unnecessarily ex-
posed to smoke, ambient heat or water vapour.
A false reading (too low) will be displayed when the pyrometer lens is
dirty. Therefore always ensure that the lens is clean.
The pyrometer's optical path must remain unobstructed. Any interfer-
ence or obstacle may lead to measurement errors.
6.2
Pyrometer Alignment to Target
For accurate temperature measurement, it is essential that the py-
rometer is correctly aimed and focused on the target object. Make
sure that the optical path is not obscured because this would most
likely impair accuracy.
When aiming the pyrometer with through-the-lens sighting to a target,
both the targeted object and the target marker (distinctly marked circled
spot in the viewfinder) must appear in sharp focus simultaneously. The
measured object must completely fill the target circle in the viewfinder.
Instruments with a measuring range of > 2000 °C are equipped with a
polarization filter to control brightness and protect the user's eye.
If the actual target spot is the same size as the minimum spot size re-
quired by the distance-to-target ratio, or only marginally larger, then we
recommend that you check the maximum output current to verify proper
focussing.
6.3
Setting parameters at the pyrometer (basic configuration)
Use the buttons ▲▼ and the „MODE" button on the rear panel to ac-
cess and configure parameters. With these buttons you can view and
adjust all settings required for operating the pyrometer. (See Chap. 4.1).
