Notes for IQR Thermometers
• IQR ratio thermometers have an internal heater that must be warmed
up before valid temperature readings can be produced. This can take
typically 2 to 3 minutes at room temperature, followed by a further
stabilisation time of 2 to 3 minutes before a fully reliable reading is
available.
• During the warming up period, the instrument will indicate
‘Obscuration’ and the temperature output is either held under range or
over range, depending on your chosen setting for upscale/downscale
drive under conditions of signal obscuration.
• At ambient temperatures of 50°C or above, the instrument will produce
a valid output immediately, but will still require 2 to 3 minutes settling
time.
• In a cold environment, at the lower end of the ambient operating
temperature range, the warm up time required may be in excess of
10 minutes at the nominal 24V power supply voltage. A longer period
may be required if the power supply voltage is below the nominal
value. If your application process is not continuous (e.g. switched off
overnight), or if it is in a cold environment, it is recommended that
any IQR installation has a continuous power supply. This is especially
relevant if your process needs to be restarted quickly.

3 Hardware Configuration
IQ Series thermometers offer simple analogue ‘plug & play’ and digital
methods of communication. The features available on your IQ series
thermometer will depend upon what feature set has been supplied.
3.1 Thermometer variants
3.1.1 Basic Variant Features
IQ x B variant thermometers are specially designed to offer the maximum in
simplicity and economy. The thermometer will operate at a xed emissivity/
non-greyness (value dependant on waveband variant) when powered. Should
emissivity/non-greyness adjustment be required the user can supply a 0 to
20mA current to the thermometer corresponding to the desired emissivity/
non-greyness. Use the table in Section 8 to nd the appropriate current for
the desired emissivity/non-greyness.
3.1.2 Standard Variant Features
IQ x S variant thermometers have all of the same features available in the
Basic variant but also include laser sighting to denote the centre of the
measurement area. Activating the laser can be done using either the push-
button mounted on the top of the connection PCB or by an external volt free
contact closure across the LSRin and Com terminals on the connection PCB.
Once activated the laser will remain illuminated for a period of 120 seconds.
3.1.3 Enhanced Variant Features
IQ x E variant thermometers include all of the features of the Basic and
Standard variant models and also RS485 digital communications, signal
processing, 2 x relay alarms. These thermometers also include PC
conguration software which is used to congure all of the above. See IQ
series Windows Conguration Software User Guide for more details (part
number 806230).
3.1.4 Premium Variant Features
IQ x P variant thermometers include all of the features of the Basic, Standard
and Enhanced variant models and also the ability for the user to set the focus
distance as they wish to any of the four pre-dened available distances.
Note: Changing the focus distance does not affect instrument calibration.

3.2 Configuration
3.2.1 IQ Series Windows Configurator Software (IQ-WCS)
NOTE
The IQ Series Windows Congurator Software (IQ-WCS) is provided
free of charge. This enables low-cost conguration of IQ series
thermometers for those users who are able to engineer and support
the required RS485 physical connection. Land does sell a cable, and
a recommended RS485 communications converter, in relation to this
method of connection. Ask for a quote for Part Nº 806730.
These instructions detail how to install and use the IQ Series Windows
Congurator Software. This allows a IQ Series thermometer to be
congured from any laptop or PC having an RS485 connection.
1) Insert the IQ Series Windows Congurator software CD into your PC/
Laptop CD Drive.
2) The CD should auto-run.
3) If this fails, click the setup.exe le on the CD.
NOTE
If ‘Live data’ is not displayed (greyed out), check that the laptop/PC
comms and the thermometer comms are synchronised. Also check
that the thermometer is connected correctly.

Page 7
User Guide Thermometer
series
If ‘Live Data’ is ‘greyed out’;
1) Select the Comms menu option.
2) From the Comms drop-down menu, set the following:
• Serial Port - serial port connecting laptop/PC and thermometer, default
set to 1
• Baud Rate - data transfer rate between thermometer and laptop/PC.
Ensure that this is set to 57600 (default).
• Address - the congurator address (1 to 254), default set to 1
• 1 to 1 (Address 0) - used when only one iQ series thermometer is
connected to the RS485 port
NOTE
The 1 to 1 (Address 0) mode must not be used if more than one iQ series
thermometer is connected to the RS485 port.
The 1 to 1 mode enables communication with the thermometer, regardless of
the user-settable thermometer address.
Where multiple thermometers are to be connected to a shared RS485 bus,
the instruments should rst be congured separately and given a unique
address, so that each thermometer on the shared bus will have a separate
address.
Once installed on the shared bus, communication with a particular
thermometer is achieved by setting the congurator address to match that of
the thermometer.
When all the ‘485 Settings’ are synchronised between laptop/PC and
thermometer, the dynamic ‘Live Data’ is then displayed. If this does not
happen, check that the thermometer connections are correct, as shown in the
standard iQ series User Guide.

4 Laser Alignment
Warning
CLASS 2 Laser Product.
DO NOT stare into laser beam (1.0mW maximum output at 650nm).
DO NOT look directly towards the thermometer window, or into the
laser beam during operation.
If the laser is projected onto a highly reective surface, DO NOT look at
the laser stripe from a position where a direct (‘mirror-like’) reection
may enter the eye.
Warning
CLASS 2 Laser Product.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble the laser unit or any of its mounting
components.
The S, E and P variant IQ Series thermometers are tted with a laser
alignment utility, which can be used to align the thermometer accurately on
the required target.
When the laser is activated, a laser beam is emitted from the lens in the front
of the IQ Series thermometer. The laser beam denes the centre line of the
thermometer eld of view. For details of the target size at a particular point
in the eld of view, refer to the target size table for your thermometer.
Fig. 4-1 Location of laser warning labels on the IQ Series Thermometer
Laser beam

Page 9
User Guide Thermometer
series
There are four methods of activating the laser alignment utility in the IQ
Series thermometer:
• the laser switch on the rear face of the thermometer (See Fig. 4-1);
• a direct connection between pin Com and LSRin on the electrical
connector on the rear face of the thermometer. This connection can be
made via a user-supplied external switch;
• For E and P variants only - the laser ‘button’ in the congurator software.
Refer to Section 5.2;
• For E and P variants only - by sending an appropriate message to the
thermometer over an RS485 digital communications link.
When the laser is activated, it will remain switched on for 2 minutes (120
seconds).
Warning
CLASS 2 Laser Product.
If the lens is removed for re-focusing the thermometer, the laser
energy emitted is increased. Therefore, ensure that the laser is
switched off before re-focusing the thermometer
