    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.

    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...
  • Page 9: Cf Lens And Protective Window

    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.

    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.

    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.
  • Page 21: Alarms

    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.
