PSC-55 Pyrometer Series Operation Manual Laser operation The optional integrated laser aiming light meets the safety requirements of Class 2 and is identified accordingly: Do not look directly into the beam when the laser is switched on! Laser class 2: A Class 2 laser is considered to be safe because the blink reflex (glare aversion response to bright lights) will limit the exposure to no more than 0.25 seconds.

PSC-55 Pyrometer Series Operation Manual Parameters You can adjust the following parameters via RS-485 interface: Emissivity ε “Emissivity” The emissivity of a measuring object specifies how much radiation it emits compared to an ideal heat radiator, a blackbody radiator, at the same temperature. According to Kirchhoff’s radiation law, absorption and emission capacity are equal.

PSC-55 Pyrometer Series Operation Manual Response time t The pyrometers response time characterizes the time span in which the measured temperature during erratic variation has to coincide with the measuring field so the pyrometer is able to reach 95 % of the initial value of the measured temperature. The minimal response time for the devices PSCspot PSC-S55N, PSC-G55N and PSC-GE 55N have a speed of response of 2 ms, for the 2-color model PSC-SR55N series, the response is 5 ms.

PSC-55 Pyrometer Series Operation Manual Hereby e.g. moving parts are measured just in the moment of their passing of the pyrometers measuring field. The maximum temperature of the part is registered and saved. The minimum level of the sub temperature range is set as the temperature bar. With every culmination of this threshold the former value is deleted.
PSC-55 Pyrometer Series Operation Manual < T Switch closes when switch-on threshold is underrun and opens when exceeding the switch-off threshold The deviation between switch-on and switch-off temperature is equal to the hysterisis Please note: Because pin J serves also as an external deletion input of the maximum/minimum value storage, this function of the switching output is deactivated in the operation mode “external deletion”.
