Page 13: Measurement Conditions For Safe Measured Value Acquisition
Pyrometers CAPELLA C3 Series Device Operation Measurement Conditions for Safe Measured Value Acquisition The non-contact temperature measurement can be performed with radiation pyrometers or 2-color py- rometers. Radiation pyrometers measure infrared radiation from objects in one spectral range, while 2-color py- rometers measure in two different spectral ranges simultaneously and determine the temperature from the ratio of the two radiation intensities. -

Page 30: Single-Point Pyrometer Adjustment (Only For 1-Color Pyrometers Available)
Pyrometers CAPELLA C3 Series Software SensorTools Single-Point Pyrometer Adjustment (only for 1-color pyrometers available) The single-point adjustment function can be used to automatically compensate optical losses in measurements through windows or lenses with unknown transmittance. For this pur- pose, a calibration source is set to the required process temperature, and then a temperature meas- urement through the windows or lenses is taken to newly define the measured value. - Page 31 Pyrometers CAPELLA C3 Series Software SensorTools The single-point adjustment function also can be performed manually with sliding controllers. In this case the numerical value of the adjustment can be observed. ▪ Preparation: First, the parameters emissivity, emissivity slope (for 2-color pyrometers), transmittance and spot size filling should be set to 100%, as well as switch off the maximum value storage and set the response time to 5 ms.
