Page 7: Overview
Overview Overview Intended Use The here described Capella C3 series pyrometers are fast measuring devices with small spot sizes for non-contact infrared temperature measurement. With their short-wave spectral range, they are suitable for measuring metals, ceramics, graphite and similar. Depending on the model, temperature ranges between 180 and 3300°C are available... -

Page 11: Optics Adjustment / Spot Size
Pyrometers CAPELLA C3 Series Device Operation Optics Adjustment / Spot Size The pyrometer measures object temperatures throughout its field of view. In the focus distance of the optics (infrared focus distance), the pyrometer’s spot size is the smallest. For measurements outside the focus distance (the defocused area), the average temperature of a larger measurement area is meas- ured. -
Page 12: Alignment To The Measuring Object
Pyrometers CAPELLA C3 Series Device Operation Alignment to the Measuring Object It can be used either the view finder or the laser tar- geting light. When the laser targeting light is activat- 1250.0°C ed, the view finder is closed to prevent the eye from being endangered by possible laser back reflections. -
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 25: Single-Point Pyrometer Adjustment
Pyrometers CAPELLA C3 Series Software SensorTools Single-Point Pyrometer Adjustment 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 26 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 10 ms.

Page 29: Maintenance
Pyrometer Calibration To obtain the measurement accuracy, we recommend to re-calibrate the pyrometer periodically (annual- ly) with the help of calibration sources and optionally adjust at Sensortherm. Trouble-Shooting If necessary, a device malfunction can be read out. To do this, the terminal box must be called up via SensorTools, where it can be typed in via the fs command. -
