Page 8 Thank you for choosing the optris Xi spot finder infrared camera. The optris Xi calculates the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of objects [►8 Basics of Infrared Thermometry]. The two-dimensional detector (FPA - focal plane array) allows a measurement of an area and will be shown as thermal image using standardized palettes.
Page 9 General Notes Read the manual carefully before the initial start-up. The producer reserves the right to change the herein described specifications in case of technical advance of the product. • Avoid abrupt changes of the ambient temperature. • Avoid static electricity, arc welders, and induction heaters.

Now enter a user defined IP address for your PC (192.168.0.100). This must be identical to the address set in the PIX Connect software.
Page 81 Functions Then close all windows with OK. The network settings on the PC are complete. Now start the PIX Connect software and activate the Ethernet function. To do this, go to the menu Devices and Enable Ethernet. When a Windows Firewall window appears make sure to select allow all three network parts (domain, private, public) in order to allow the communication with the device.
Page 82 The approval of programs can also be activated afterwards in the Windows Firewall settings of the PC (under Windows Firewall and Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall).

To do this, connect the PIF and Xi80/410/410 MT/1M Ethernet or USB cables to the...
Page 86 pressing the OK button an @ sign can be found in the configuration menu Devices (PIF), which indicates the autonomous operation.

Page 88 Only for Xi 410/410 MT/1M When using the Xi 410/410 MT/1M camera, an important additional setting must be made for autonomous operation. When all the configurations have been made, it is important to write them to the device. This is done in the menu under Devices and Set configuration to device.
Page 89 Functions In general, these are all the settings that must be set in the PIX Connect software in order to operate the device autonomously. You can now close the software and then disconnect the Ethernet or USB cable. To start the device autonomously, a 5-30 V (8-30 V for Xi 1M) power supply must be connected to the terminal block.
Page 90 • Autonomous operation also works via the industrial/stackable PIF of the Xi 80/410/410 MT/1M. The device is powered by the power supply of the PIF. • Xi 1M has to be set to 132 x 100 pixels – mode for the autonomous operation. •...
Page 91 Functions 5.2.1 Hot- / Coldspot function in autonomous operation The setting for a hot- or coldspot in autonomous mode differs from the general procedure. Marking a measure area as hot- or coldspot does not work. Instead, a user defined rectangle must be selected under the tab measure areas of the configuration dialog.
Page 92 5.3 Use of Shutter The shutter system is supplied with a control box (for pin assignment, see also Figure 18). The servo motor of the shutter is connected to this control box. There are several ways to operate the control box. For all listed options, an input signal (IN 1) must be connected.
Page 93 Functions When using more than one shutter and the opening / closing of the shutter should be simultaneously, the switch S4 on one control box must be set to mA and the others to mV (see Figure 43).

Page 106 8 Basics of Infrared Thermometry Depending on the temperature each object emits a certain amount of infrared radiation. A change in the temperature of the object is accompanied by a change in the intensity of the radiation. Searching for new optical material William Herschel by chance found the infrared radiation in 1800. Figure 46: William Herschel (1738-1822) He blackened the peak of a sensitive mercury thermometer.
Page 107 Basics of Infrared Thermometry 107- noticed the increasing temperature from violet to red. The temperature rose even more in the area behind the red end of the spectrum. Finally he found the maximum temperature far behind the red area. Nowadays this area is called “infrared wavelength area”. Figure 47: The electromagnetic spectrum and the area used for temperature measurement For the measurement of “thermal radiation”...
Page 108 Figure 48: Main principle of non-contact thermometry Infrared thermometers basically consist of the following components: • Lens • Spectral filter • Detector • Electronics (amplifier/ linearization/ signal processing) The specifications of the lens decisively determine the optical path of the infrared thermometer, which is characterized by the ratio Distance to Spot size.
Page 109 Basics of Infrared Thermometry 109- The advantages of non-contact thermometry are clear - it supports: • temperature measurements of moving or overheated objects and of objects in hazardous surroundings • very fast response and exposure times • measurement without inter-reaction, no influence on the •...

Page 111 Emissivity 111- 9 Emissivity 9.1 Definition The intensity of infrared radiation, which is emitted by each body, depends on the temperature as well as on the radiation features of the surface material of the measuring object. The emissivity (ε – Epsilon) is used as a material constant factor to describe the ability of the body to emit infrared energy.
Page 112 Figure 51: Spectral emissivity of several materials: 1 Enamel, 2 Plaster, 3 Concrete, 4 Chamotte If the emissivity chosen is too high, the infrared thermometer may display a temperature value which is much lower than the real temperature – assuming the measuring object is warmer than its surroundings. A low emissivity (reflective surfaces) carries the risk of inaccurate measuring results by interfering infrared radiation emitted by background objects (flames, heating systems, chamottes).
Page 113 Emissivity 113- 9.2 Determination of unknown emissivity ► First determine the actual temperature of the measuring object with a thermocouple or contact sensor. Second, measure the temperature with the infrared thermometer and modify the emissivity until the displayed result corresponds to the actual temperature. ►...
Page 114 ► Cove a part of the surface of the measuring object with a black, flat paint with an emissivity of 0.98. Adjust the emissivity of your infrared thermometer to 0.98 and take the temperature of the colored surface. Afterwards, determine the temperature of a directly adjacent area and modify the emissivity until the measured value corresponds to the temperature of the colored surface.
Page 115 Emissivity 115- 9.3 Characteristic emissivity In case none of the methods mentioned above help to determine the emissivity you may use the emissivity table ► Appendix A and Appendix B. These are average values, only. The actual emissivity of a material depends on the following factors: •...

Page 119 Appendix C – Quick start for serial communication 119- Appendix C – Quick start for serial communication Introduction One special feature of the PIX Connect software contains the possibility to communicate via a serial COM- Port interface. This can be a physical COM-Port or a virtual COM-Port (VCP). It must be available on the computer where the PIX connect software is installed.
Page 120 3. Select the baud rate that matches the baud rate of the other communication device. The other interface parameters are 8 data bits, no parity and one stop bit (8N1). These parameters are used in many other communication devices too. The other station must support 8 bit data.
Page 121 Appendix C – Quick start for serial communication 121- RS485 for Xi 80/410/410 MT/1M The Xi 80/410/410 MT/1M cameras support a direct RS485 connection. RS485 interface is designed for high- speed serial data transmission over long distances and as a bidirectional bus system with up to 32 participants. An RS485 bus can be set up as a 2-wire as well as a 4-wire system.
Page 122 The ImagerIPC2.dll will export a bunch of functions that are responsible for initiating the communication, retrieving data and setting some control parameters. The main difference to the former Version 1 (ImagerIPC.dll) is the support of more than one Optris Xi via multiple instances of Optris PIX Connect.
