Product Overview
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
All substances with a temperature above absolute zero emit radiant energy. Thermal
radiation increases with an increase in temperature. An optical pyrometer measures
the radiation at a given wavelength, and from that radiant flux, calculates the absolute
temperature of the target. Practically, an optical pyrometer is a light intensity meter
calibrated to read out in temperature units.
Each Impac pyrometer has customized optics that measure thermal radiation from a
target object at a distance and determine the temperature in real time. Your pyrometer
was factory-calibrated to ensure that it operates within specifications. For more
information, refer to the work certificate or inspection sheet provided with your
pyrometer.
UNIT COMPONENTS
Pyrometer
The configuration and accessories of your pyrometer will vary depending on the
needs of your application. It has a modular design allowing you to connect and swap
multiple sensor heads. With the exception of USB sensor heads, your configuration
will include various sensor heads and sensor cables that connect to either a converter
box or an analog box (for communications), with the addition of optional multi-
sensor boxes (for connecting more sensor heads) and accessories.
For more information about the options available for your pyrometer, see the online
product data sheet.
1. Navigate to https://www.advancedenergy.com/resource-library.
2. Select the Data Sheets resource type.
3. Search for your pyrometer model.
4. Click View Resource.
Sensor Heads
A variety of sensor heads are available for non-contact temperature measurement at
various wavelengths. All sensor heads can be interchanged with any other standard
sensor head without restriction. When connecting more than one sensor head to the
converter box, analog box, or multi-sensor box, you can use any combination of the
available sensor heads.
Impac® Series 600 Pyrometer Chapter
2
57010228-00C Product Overview 2‑1

Sensor heads are attached to a 300 mm (11.8″) cable with a male connector on the
end for connecting them to a sensor cable or extension cable. The only exception
are the high temperature sensor heads, which have an additional 3 m (9′10″) cable
attached behind the sensor head to separate the electronics.
Sensor Cables
Sensor cables are not included with your pyrometer. You can order sensor cables and
extension cables of various lengths from AE for connecting any sensor head to a
converter box, multi-sensor box, analog box, or for connecting a multi-sensor box to
a converter box or multi-analog box. A variety of electrical cables of different lengths
are also available to order from AE for connecting signal output, power supply, and
serial communications.
Converter Box
The converter box has two sensor head connections and is equipped with one of the
following communication modules:
• RS-232
• RS-485
• PROFINET
The converter box can also be equipped with a display for temperature reading and
parameter setting via an integrated keyboard.
Analog Box
The analog box is an analog-output only alternative to the converter box and is
available in two options. The single-analog box has one analog output and one sensor
head connection. The multi-analog box has eight analog outputs and two sensor head
connections. No display or keys are equipped on the analog box.
Multi-Sensor Box
The multi-sensor box can be connected to a sensor head connection on the converter
box or the multi-analog box (instead of a sensor head) to enable you to use more
than two sensor heads at a time. Up to four sensor heads can be connected to
each multi-sensor box, allowing the connection of up to eight sensor heads to one
converter box or one multi-analog box.
Accessories
Electrical and mechanical accessories are available from AE for your pyrometer.
Only use accessories ordered from AE. If you use third party accessories, AE cannot
guarantee compatibility and will not service them.

SOFTWARE
Though your pyrometer will work without software, you must use the Infra600
software if you want to connect it to a PC and perform certain tasks (for example,
adjusting the parameters, visualizing the temperature measurements, or analyzing the
data).
• The Infra600 software is included as a free download with your pyrometer.
• You can use the optional MultiTempLogger software for multi-channel logging,
storage, and display of temperatures and their temporal development, and for
setting parameters of multiple pyrometers.
• You can use the optional MultiTempLogger Trigger software (a more advanced
version of the MultiTempLogger) software for an additional feature to define
trigger thresholds from an I/O module with up to eight digital inputs.
• You can use the optional Temperature Quality Control System software to
record and archive process temperatures from multiple pyrometers for order-
related, manipulation-safe temperature recordings of every single work piece in
applications such as forging, pouring, and induction heating.

Installation, Setup, and
Operation
PREPARING TO INSTALL THE UNIT
Unpacking the Unit
☞ Important
The labels on the packaging provide important safety and handling
information. Follow your company procedures when unpacking the unit.
1. Unpack and inspect the unit carefully, looking for obvious physical damage.
2. If no damage is apparent, proceed with the unit installation and setup.
3. If you do see signs of shipping damage, contact AE Technical Support
Organization and the carrier immediately.
Save the shipping container for submitting necessary claims to the carrier.
Measuring Through External Windows
If your application requires that you measure through an external window that is
between the pyrometer and the target object, ensure that the window is clean and
made of a material that is suitable for the wavelength of your pyrometer. See
Appendix G, “Emissivity of Common Materials”.
Verifying the Spot Size and Installation Location
The spot size of your pyrometer is determined by the measuring distance (distance
from the front of the pyrometer to the target), aperture, and temperature range. To
ensure accurate temperature measurement values when using your pyrometer, the
target object needs to be as big as or bigger than the spot size of the pyrometer.
INSTALLATION AT ANY MEASURING DISTANCE
Your pyrometer can be used at any measuring distance; however, the greater the
measuring distance, the larger the spot size will be. You can estimate the spot size by
using the distance ratio of the sensor head optics.
