WARNING
The Auto Retract System contains moving parts.
When choosing an installation location make sure that there is sucient
room for the system to move freely along the entire length of the Pneumatic
Slide - especially when the System is retracted fully. Refer to the Installation
Diagrams (Section 4 of this Guide).
Make sure that the hoses from the Media Bar to the Retraction System are
not stretched or compressed when the system is operating. Also make sure
that the hoses do not prevent the system moving freely.
Choose a location so that, when installed and operating, the Auto Retract
System does not pose a risk of hitting personnel or other equipment. Install
protective barriers/shielding if necessary.
Two 40 x 40 x 1500 mm lengths of framework are supplied with the system.
Additional framework must be supplied by the customer. Refer to the Installation
Dimensions drawings, Figs. 4-2 and 4-3.
2.2 NIR-B Camera
The NIR Borescope (NIR-B) Glass is a short wavelength radiometric infrared
borescope imaging camera, designed to produce high denition (656 x 494 pixel)
thermal images, along with providing accurate temperature measurements from
any selected points in the image. The camera measures temperatures in the range
1000 to 1800 °C (1832 to 3272 °F) and is suitable for oat glass, container glass,
borosilicate glass and bre glass melt furnaces.
The Camera is installed a protective housing which keeps it cool and the optical
components clean.
2.3 Media Bar
The Media Bar connects the exible air and water hoses from the Retraction Device
to the xed pipes/hoses from the Media Cabinet. It allows the Media Cabinet to be
located away (approximately 15 m) from the high temperature of the furnace port.
The Media Bar must be located close enough to the Retraction Device so that
the exible hoses are not over-stretched at any time (i.e. when fully inserted or
retracted). The pipework in the furnace area must be heat insulated.
2.4 Air Filter Unit
The purge air must be free of oil and water. If there is no clean air available, the Air
Filter Unit must be inserted in the supply between the Media Cabinet and the Media
Bar.
2.5 Remote Control Unit
The Remote Control Unit can be located near to the Retraction System and allows
insertion and retraction of the system for service and maintenance purposes. The Unit
mimics the controls available on the Media Cabinet.
This unit includes an Emergency Stop button which can be used to isolate the system
for maintenance.
2.6 Media Cabinet
The Media Cabinet is used to control the Retraction Device. It is designed to be
located away from the high temperatures of the furnace and is connected to the
Retraction Device via the Media Bar.

Near-Infrared Borescope
2 - 4
Pneumatic Auto Retract System
Pre-Installation Guide
Install the Media Cabinet at a distance of approximately 15m from the Retraction
Device.
The ambient temperature at this location must be below 50°C.
Use xed steel pipework to connect the Media Cabinet to the Media Bar:
• Water Inlet and Outlet Pipes - 3/4 in BSP;
• Air Supply Pipes - 10 mm Ermeto Fittings.
Dimensions for the Media Cabinet are give in Fig. 4-6 of this Guide.
The Media Cabinet comprises two units: one cabinet contains connections for the
power supply to the Camera and temperature signals from the Camera; the other
cabinet contains connections and controls for the air and water supplies to the
Retraction Device. In a typical installation, the Media Cabinet is located on a separate
(lower) oor, directly below the Media Bar wherever possible.
The Media Cabinet has a voltage-free relay contact that opens in case of failure. This
serves to indicate a possible failure present at another location, such as a control
centre.
A System Alarm output is provided on Terminals X2.20 and X2.21 inside the cabinet.
The air reserve tank is mounted on the media cabinet. The content is 5 litres. The
container is lled through a check valve, thus it is always supplied with air. The
reserve tank enables the Retraction Device to be removed from the furnace in the
event of an interruption to the regular air supply.
2.7 Retraction Device
The Retraction Device is attached to the furnace wall and its purpose is to hold the
Camera Housing in place inside the furnace. If there is a problem with either the air,
water or electrical power supply to the Housing, the Retraction Device will slide the
Camera Housing out of the furnace. The maximum ambient temperature is 80 °C.
The Retraction Device comprises the following components:
• Furnace Mountings Assembly;
• Pneumatic Slide Assembly;
• Hanger Assembly;
• NIR-B Camera Housing;
The Retraction Device must be installed under the supervision of AMETEK Land
Personnel.

• Air velocity: Minimum 45 m/s minimum
• Air pressure: 6 to 8 bar
• Air pipelines: 10 mm Ermeto ttings
• Air temperature: Maximum 38 °C
The above values must be used for initial operation of the system. After 24 hours
running time, the values must be adjusted depending on the probe temperature.
The amount of ushing air is subject to the conditions of use. If there is an over-
pressure in the hot chamber, the ushing air must be adjusted to prohibit the
atmosphere of the hot room from entering the angle of view of the probe.
If there is no clean air available, the Air Filter Unit must be inserted in the supply
between the Media Cabinet and the Media Bar.

• pH-value 6.0 to 8.0
• Conductivity: Maximum 600 μS/cm
The quality of the cooling water has an eect on the life of the probe.
The quality of the cooling water should almost be that of drinking water.
In the case of contaminated cooling water with insolubles, a water chiller or heat
exchange system is strongly recommended.
This is also recommended for the sake of environmental protection and cost savings.
When using such systems, it is possible to reduce the water consumption as follows:
• System with heat exchanger 45%;
• Closed cooling system 100%.
Corrosion damages caused by a low concentration of Chlorine ions (CL2) per mg / litre
of water are signicantly lower.
Maximum allowable temperature of the cooling water after a free outlet from
the probe:
Maximum 40 °C at a maximum temperature dierence ((Δt) of 4 °C.
The maximum water outlet temperature must not exceed 40 °C !
These values must not be exceeded during initial operation of the system !
The values are adjusted accordingly after 24 hours running time.
3.4 Operating Temperature Limits.
The retraction device must only be protected from high temperature and does not
require any special maintenance. The following temperature limits apply:
• 50 °C maximum ambient temperature at the media cabinet;
• 2000 °C maximum furnace temperature;
• 180 °C maximum cable temperature;
• 70 °C maximum temperature at the hose connection between the Media Bar and
