Basics 3 Basics 3.1 Measurement of Infrared Temperatures Every object emits an amount of infrared radiation (IR) according to its surface temperature. The intensity of the infrared radiation changes with the temperature of the object. Depending on the material and surface properties, the emitted radiation lies in a wavelength spectrum of approximately 1 to 20 µm.
System Overview 4 System Overview The following figure shows the principal structure of the system. It shows a solution with one scanner connected to a standard Windows PC via Ethernet communications. There is no need to open the computer. Standard PC Linescanner Ethernet Process...
Installation 5 Installation Linescanners are able to measure temperature values along a line through the use of a rotating mirror. For 25% of its revolution, the linescanner scans the field of view (FOV). This corresponds to a scan angle of 90°. The remaining 75% of its revolution is used for the internal operation of the sensor. The rotating mirror views the scene and reflects the infrared energy striking it onto a system of lenses which focuses the radiation onto a thermoelectrically cooled detector.
Installation Refer to section 2.2 Optical Specifications, page 10, for basic versions of optical resolution values for the various models. Scan line width Distance to target (measured from front surface of housing) 90° FOV: D = L/2 Figure 7: Relationship between scan line width and distance to target The relationship between the scan line width (L) and the distance (D) to the front side of the linescanner housing is defined as described above.
Installation 5.6 Input and Output Connectors In addition to the communication interfaces, the linescanner is also equipped with the following: • three active analog current outputs • an alarm output (potential-free relay contacts) • a trigger input for synchronization The housing of the linescanner is electrically grounded. All inputs and outputs are electrically isolated from the housing, the input voltage, and from one another.

Installation 5.7 Communication Interfaces The MP150 can communicate via Ethernet interface or RS485. During system configuration the user selects either Ethernet or RS485. You cannot use Ethernet and RS485 communications for the data transfer at the same time! The Ethernet connection between linescanner and the PC has a maximum speed of 100 MBit/s and permits real-time data transfer for all temperature pixels.
Installation 5.7.2 Ethernet Settings Scanner IP Address The factory default IP address for the linescanner is 192.168.42.30. The scanners address is not free of choice: It has to be unique in the network meaning that no other device in the network including the PC network adapter may run at the same IP address. Ask your IT administrator for a free IP address to be used! Advanced Ethernet Settings Subnet Mask:...
Installation The current settings for the IP address and the netmask of the PC can be asked with the command <ipconfig> in a Command Prompt window! For the example above, the IP address of the PC is 193.221.142.103. The subnet address is 193.221.142, the host address is 103.

Installation 5.7.4 Changing the Ethernet Settings for the Scanner When using the linescanner on an Ethernet network you may need to change the IP address so that the factory default address does not conflict with another device on the network. Change the IP address following the procedure described below: •...
Installation 5.8 Power Supply Cable This standard cable is 7.5 m (24.6 ft.) long, free from Halogen, and withstands ambient temperatures up to 180°C (356°F). The linescanner requires a nominal 24 VDC power supply, 18 VDC minimum. To insure that sufficient voltage is supplied to the linescanner, it is necessary to define the gage and the length of the power cable to determine the resistance and the voltage drop.
Installation 5.10 Water Cooling The linescanner is equipped with integrated stainless-steel pipes for water cooling. These pipes are embedded in the cast aluminum housing. The water cooling system enables the linescanner to be installed in ambient temperatures up to 180°C (356°F). Maximum pressure for the cooling fluid is 15 bar (218 PSI).

Minimum device temperature = 30 °C The use of lower temperatures is at your own risk! MP150...
Installation 5.11 Air purge collar The air purge system produces a laminar air flow that protects the linescanner window from dust, moisture, and vapor. The air flows from the couplings through the walls of the housing and through side slits near the scanner’s window. The air flow should be between 100 l/min (3.53 cfm) and 200 l/min (7.06 cfm) through each side, which corresponds to a pressure between 0.5 bar (7.25 psig) and 3.0 bar (43 psig) when using the supplied metric fittings.
Installation 5.12 Laser The built-in laser sighting function allows fast and precise aiming at small or rapidly moving targets, or targets passing at irregular intervals. The laser is specially aligned with the scan line of the linescanner. A small, bright red laser line shows you the center of the scanned line, not the size of the spots being measured.
Operation 6 Operation 6.1 Scan Rate and Target Viewing Time Optical scan rate = 150 Hz Distance between the actual measured lines (d), as Each revolution = 6,6 ms output, is a function of the optical scan rate, line Target viewed for 1,6 ms averaging and target speed.
Operation 6.2 Sectors The linescanner is equipped with three analog outputs. Each output can be assigned to a ”sector” within the 90° scan angle. For each sector, the type of output (maximum, minimum, or mean value) can be selected. The output range can be configured for either 0 ... 20 mA, 4 ... 20 mA, or custom configured by user settings.
Operation • The maximum size of a sector is 90°. • The corresponding analog output will remain inactive if the sector size is 0. • Each sector can have either a maximum, minimum, or mean output value. • Each sector is assigned to an analog interface. •...

Troubleshooting Checkpoint Possible Cause / Solution • A too high display resolution can cause problems. Test temporarily a setting of 800x600 pixel at high color (16 bit). • For several reasons the PC can be overloaded. This can be checked by running the scanner software and pushing CTRL+ALT+DEL at the same time.
Appendix 10 Appendix 10.1 Determination of Emissivity Emissivity is a measure of an object’s ability to absorb and emit infrared energy. It can have a value between 0 and 1.0. For example a mirror has an emissivity less of 0.1, while the so-called “Blackbody“ reaches an emissivity value of 1.0.
