Page 8: Introduction
TS-1 User Manual Introduction Introduction The SYSCON Sensors TS-1 Handheld Digital Pyrometer is a hand-held, battery operated, temperature measuring device for use with compatible expendable thermocouples in molten metals. This portable instrument allows for quick and accurate temperature measurements up to 3300°F, depending on the thermocouple type. -
Page 9: Application
TS-1 User Manual Introduction Application The TS-1 Handheld Digital Pyrometer is used to measure molten metal temperatures for an immersion/batch or continuous mode of operation. The thermocouple type is determined by the temperature range of the molten metal and the desired accuracy. -
Page 10: Setup
TS-1 User Manual Setup Setup The TS-1 Handheld Digital Pyrometer is easy to use and consists of: • Contact Block The thermocouple is installed such that its tip is in electrical contact with the contact block (see Error! Not a valid bookmark self-reference.). The contact block is shielded from high temperatures by a cardboard tube with or without a heat shield. -
Page 11: Figure 3: Ts-1 Front Panel With Handle
Setup • Instrument Housing and Cover Plate The cover plate is the front panel of the TS-1 (see Figure 3) which consists of the LED display, status indicator lights, POWER button and CHARGE jack. The display represents a TS-1 configured for type S thermocouple input for IPTS 48 calibration standard with degrees Fahrenheit (°F) temperature unit. -
Page 12: Quick Start
The TS-1 Handheld Digital Pyrometer automatically turns off the LED display after 60 seconds and completely shuts down after 90 seconds of inactivity. The last temperature measurement reading is saved in memory and will be displayed the next time the TS-1 is turned ON. -
Page 13: Quick Start Procedure
Quick Start Quick Start Procedure 1. Press the POWER button (see Figure 3) to turn ON the TS-1 Handheld Digital Pyrometer. The POWER button is also used to wake up the LED display after 60 seconds of inactivity and to recall the last temperature measurement. -
Page 14: Repeated Temperature Measurement Guidelines
⚠ NOTE Ensure that the thermocouple input type and calibration standard of the TS-1 (IPTS 48 or IPTS 68) matches that of the thermocouple tip used for temperature measurement. Use only Rechargeable NiCad (Nickel Cadmium batteries). Non- rechargeable alkaline batteries can cause damage to the TS-1 and battery charger. -
Page 15: Lance/Immersion Probe Temperature Measurement Guidelines
To get an accurate and reliable reading, SYSCON Sensors recommends the following procedure: 1. Immerse the probe quickly into the molten metal, penetrating the slag as quickly as possible. -
Page 16: Technical Circuit Information
TS-1 Handheld Digital Pyrometer. • LED Display The LED display on the TS-1 uses four one-half inch high LED digits that can be easily read even in high ambient light. The display reads temperature in °F or °C with one- degree resolution. -
Page 17: Maintenance
Maintenance Maintenance The internal electronics of the TS-1 require no maintenance. The most frequent cause of operating problems is the need for maintenance of the thermocouple lance hardware used with the TS-1 Handheld Digital Pyrometer. The most common issues are problems with contact blocks and the compensated measurement cable inside the lance. -

Page 20: Important Note Regarding Battery Use
TS-1 User Manual Battery Use and Charging 120°F, charging stops even though the status indicator continues to flash. Disconnect the charger and allow the TS-1 to cool. If the batteries still do not charge, contact SYSCON Sensors. Important note regarding battery use Use only SYSCON Sensors NiCad Batteries (Part no. -
Page 21: Troubleshooting
Before proceeding with the troubleshooting guidelines, verify that the TS-1 is setup for the correct thermocouple type and calibration standard (IPTS 48 or IPTS 68). The calibration standard of the TS-1 is displayed after POWER is turned ON and should match that of the thermocouple tip used for temperature measurement. -
