Page 17 SOLOnet can be configured to suit the specific requirement. General Introduction At the heart of a Land SOLOnet thermometer is a powerful digital core, capable of handling internal signal conversions, controlling and monitoring I/O and performing various temperature time functions. Built around this core are high quality optical and mechanical parts, accessories and robust interface electronics, which ensure trouble-free installation and reliable operation.

Page 34 User Guide TIME FUNCTIONS Averager Fast averager response speed Slow averager response speed Time 307019 Fig. 19 - Graphical Representation of the Averager Time Function The Averager time function can be used to ‘smooth’ the temperature output signal in relation to the temperature input. The averager response can be adjusted to suit the application.
Page 35 User Guide Peak Picker The Peak Picker function can be used to monitor the highest temperature measured by the thermometer. This feature is useful especially for moving targets and/or where the target is obscured partially by moving machinery. The Peak Picker time function utilises the following features: Mode - In ‘Reset’...
Page 36 User Guide Track and Hold The Track and Hold time function is useful especially for measuring intermittent processes e.g. items on a conveyor belt. The presence of a ’hot’ object can be used to activate the ‘Track’ function, which causes the output to display the temperature of the object.

Page 38 EMISSIVITY In order to obtain accurate temperature measurements, the emissivity value of the target surface must be known. This section of the SOLOnet User Guide contains typical emissivity values of the most commonly measured materials for each thermometer variant. Where no emissivity value is quoted, this means that either the thermometer is not suitable for the measurement application or the temperature of the target is outside the thermometer's measurement span.

Page 44 User Guide MAINTENANCE, SERVICING & CALIBRATION SOLOnet thermometers do not have any user serviceable parts and therefore they require only minimal maintenance to ensure trouble-free operation. The following information should be used in conjunction with that found in the SOLOnet Mountings and Accessories Installation Guide (PP310).

Page 46 • Select ‘Use the following IP address’. • Enter the IP address given with the SOLOnet SN-WE interface unit and add 1 to the last number of the IP address, 10.1.30.178 (SOLOnet IP address) 10.1.30.179 (IP address to be entered).
Page 47 If the network operates MAC Address filtering, the MAC Address must first be added to the network configuration. The MAC Address for the SOLOnet SN-WE is located on the instrument serial No. label. Contact your local Network Manager for further information.
Page 48 APPENDIX C RS485 - Land Protocol This is a multi-drop, 4-wire, RS485 serial protocol. It requires the SOLOnet address to be set from 1 to 254. Addresses 0 and 255 always get a response, therefore in multi-drop applications these must not be used.
