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24V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o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.
