Please read these operating instructions before unpacking and putting the unit into operation. Follow the instructions precisely as described herein. The instruction manuals on our website www.kobold.com are always for currently manufactured version of our products. Due to technical changes, the instruction manuals available online may not always correspond to the product version you have purchased.
They calculate the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of objects [see chapter 11 Basics of Infrared Thermometry]. The sensor housing of the TIN-SH head is made of stainless steel (IP65/ NEMA-4 rating) – the sensor electronics is placed in a separate box made of die casting zinc.
TIN-SH 5.2 Factory Default Settings The unit has the following presetting at time of delivery: Signal output object temperature 0-5 V Signal output channel 2 (only with TIN-SH Internal head temperature: 0-5 V = 0-70 °C Emissivity 0.970 Transmissivity 1.000 Averaging (AVG) 0.2 s...
Consequently, the spot should at all times have at least the same size like the object or should be smaller than that. D = Distance from front of the sensing head to the object S = Spot size The D:S ratio is valid for the focus point. page 8 TIN-SH K01/1023...
The optional CF lens allows the measurement of very small objects and can be used in combination with all TIN-SH models. The minimum spot size depends on the used sensing head. The distance is always measured from the front edge of the CF lens holder or laminar air purge collar.
TIN-SH 6. Mechanical Installation The TIN-SH sensing heads are equipped with a metrical M12x1-thread and can be installed either directly via the sensor thread or with help of the hex nut (included in scope of supply) to the mounting bracket available. Various mounting brackets, which make the adjustment of the sensing head easier, can be additionally ordered as accessories.
The needed amount of air (approx. 2...10 l/ min.) depends on the application and the installation conditions on-site. Laminar air purge collar [TIN-ZTAP] The sideward air outlet prevents a cooling down of the object in short distances. Hose connection: 3x5 mm Thread (fitting): M5 page 12 TIN-SH K01/1023...
6.3 Further Accessories Laser-Sighting tool [TIN-ZTLS] battery powered (2x Alcaline AA), for alignment of TIN-SH sensing heads. The laser head has the same mechanical dimensions as the TIN-SH sensing head. WARNING: Do not point the laser directly at the eyes of persons or animals! Do not stare into the laser beam.
Page 14
The OEM-Laser-Sighting tool is available with 3.5 m [TIN-ZMLS] connection cable. The laser can be connected to the pins 3 V SW or PINK (only for TIN-SH 4M) and GND [see chapter 7 Electrical Installation] and switched on and off via the programming keys or via the software.

8–36 VDC which can supply 100 mA. The ripple should be max. 200 mV. Please do never connect a supply voltage to the analog outputs as this will destroy the output! The TIN-SH is not a 2-wire sensor! 7.1.3 Cable Assembling The cable gland M12x1,5 allows the use of cables with a diameter of 3 to 5 mm.
Please do not remove this label or make sure the code is noted anywhere. The code is needed if the electronics has to be exchanged or in case of a necessary recalibration of the sensor. page 18 TIN-SH K01/1023...
After you have modified the head code a reset is necessary to activate the change. [see chapter 9 Operating] 7.2.1 Sensing Head Cable On all TIN-SH models the sensing head cable can be shortened if necessary. 8. Outputs and Inputs 8.1 Analog Outputs The TIN-SH has two analog output channels.
TIN-SH 8.2 Digital Interfaces The TIN-SH sensors can be optionally equipped with an USB-interface. If you want to install an interface, plug the interface board into the place provided, which is located beside the display. In the correct position the holes of the interface match with the thread holes of the electronic box.
To activate the according output channel has to be switched into digital mode. For this purpose, the software is required. On the TIN-SH model 4M both outputs are freely selectable. Analog mA/mV, Alarm mA/mV and TCK are available. Visual Alarms These alarms will cause a change of the colour of the LCD display and will also change the status of the optional relays interface.
– a change of parameters will have immediate effect. If no key is pressed for more than 10 seconds the display automatically shows the calculated object temperature (according to the signal processing). page 22 TIN-SH K01/1023...

10.2.2 Protocol All sensors of the TIN-SH series are using a binary protocol. Alternatively, they can be switched to an ASCII protocol (only LT versions). To get a fast communication the protocol has no additional overhead with CR, LR or ACK bytes.

10.2.4 Saving of parameter settings After power on of the TIN-SH sensor the flash mode is active. It means, changed parameter settings will be saved in the TIN-SH-internal Flash-EEPROM and will be kept also after the sensor is switched off.
Distance to Spot size. The spectral filter selects the wavelength range, which is relevant for the temperature measurement. The detector in cooperation with the processing electronics transforms the emitted infrared radiation into electrical signals. TIN-SH K01/1023 page 29...
Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air. The lens surface can be cleaned with a soft, humid tissue (moistened with water) or a lens cleaner (e.g. Purosol or B+W Lens Cleaner). Never use cleaning compounds which contain solvents (neither for the lens nor for the housing). TIN-SH K01/1023 page 31...
