Basics
ScanIR3 Rev. A1 Mar 2015 17
3Basics
3.1 Measurement of Infrared Temperatures
Every object emits an amount of infrared radiation (IR) according to its surface temperature. The
intensity of the infrared radiation changes with the temperature of the object. Depending on the
material and surface properties, the emitted radiation lies in a wavelength spectrum of approximately
1 to 20 µm. The intensity of the infrared radiation (”heat radiation”) is dependent on the material. For
many substances this material-dependent constant is known. It is referred to as “emissivity value”, see
appendix 10.2 Typical Emissivity Values on page 52.
Infrared thermometers are optical-electronic sensors. These sensors are able to detect “radiation of
heat”. Infrared thermometers consist of a lens, a spectral filter, a sensor, and an electronic signal
processing unit. The task of the spectral filter is to select the wavelength spectrum of interest. The
sensor converts the infrared radiation into an electrical signal. The connected electronics process this
signal for further analysis. The intensity of the emitted infrared radiation is thereby used to determine
the temperature of the target. Since the intensity of the infrared radiation is dependent on the material,
the appropriate emissivity can be selected on the sensor.
The biggest advantage of the infrared thermometer is its ability to measure temperature without the
need to be in contact with the target. Consequently, surface temperatures of moving or hard to reach
objects can be easily measured.
3.2 Emissivity of Target Object
For accurate temperature readings, the sensor must be set to the appropriate emissivity value for the
target material. Determine the emissivity of the target object as described in appendix 10.1
Determination of Emissivity on page 52.
When measuring materials with low emissivity, the results could be affected by interfering infrared
radiation from background objects (such as heating systems, flames, fireclay bricks, etc. near to or
behind the target object). This type of problem can occur when measuring reflective surfaces and very
thin materials such as plastic films and glass. This error can be reduced to a minimum if particular
care is taken during installation, and the linescanner is shielded from reflected infrared radiation.
Contact the manufacturer for more information.

System Overview
18 Rev. A1 Mar 2015 ScanIR3
4System Overview
The following figure shows the principal structure of the system. It shows a system with a linescanner,
the sensor cable and the processor box. The processor box supports the interfacing capabilities like
analog or digital outputs and provides optionally glass fiber communication.
Figure 6: Principal structure of the system
Linescanners are able to measure temperature values along a line through the use of a rotating mirror.
For 25% of its revolution, the linescanner scans the field of view (FOV). This corresponds to a scan
angle of 90°. The remaining 75% of its revolution is used for the internal operation of the sensor. The
rotating mirror views the scene and reflects the infrared energy striking it onto a system of lenses
which focuses the radiation onto a thermoelectrically cooled detector. The incoming signal is scanned,
digitized, and then converted to temperature values by the internal microprocessor. For every
revolution of the mirror, up to 1024 measured values will be internally collected. An air purge system
keeps the scanner’s window free of dust, debris, and condensation.

Installation
ScanIR3 Rev. A1 Mar 2015 19
5Installation
5.1 Pre-Installation
The following guidelines will help in planning the installation of the scanner system.
When this instrument is being used in a critical process that could cause property
damage and personal injury, the user should
provide a redundant device or system that
will initiate a safe process shut-
down in the event that this instrument should fail. The
user should follow the appropriate safety guidelines!
5.1.1 Ambient Temperatures
Without water cooling, the linescanner is designed for ambient operating temperatures between 0°C
and 50°C (32°F and 122°F). With water cooling, it can be used in environments of up to 180°C (356°F),
see section 5.6 Water Cooling, page 31. The internal temperature is the determining factor for proper
operation of the linescanner. It is displayed in the ScanView Pro software. The difference between the
external ambient temperature and the temperature inside the housing also depends on the thermal
contact of the linescanner and its mounting hardware.
The temperature inside the
housing must be between 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F) during
operation and never more then 65°C (150°F) at any time, including non-operation!
5.1.2 Environment
The linescanner complies with class IP65 and is therefore dust and splash resistant. The linescanner’s
window is made of a material that is resistant to thermal stresses and it is equipped with an integrated
air purge system which protects the window against contamination. Air supply for the air purge
should be oil free, clean “instrument“ air.
For
permanent outdoor installations, add an additional roof to the system to protect it
from weather effects!
5.1.3 Electrical Interference
To minimize electrical or electromagnetic interference, follow these precautions:
•Mount the sensor as far away as possible from possible sources of interference such as
motorized equipment producing large step load changes!
•Ensure a fully insulated installation of the sensor (avoid ground loops!).
•Make sure the shield wire in the sensor cable is earth grounded at one location!
•To avoid potential differences use a single power circuit to power both the linescanner and the
PC running the software!
5.1.4 Geometry
The smallest possible object which can be measured depends on two conditions:
1. The area measured must be no less than 90% (90% energy response).

Installation
20 Rev. A1 Mar 2015 ScanIR3
2. Hot spots must be clearly detected, when in front of a cold background (50% energy response).
Remark: The measured area for 50% energy response is approximately ⅓ of the area size of the
measured spot for 90% energy response.
Refer to section 2.2 Optical Specifications, page 11, for basic versions of optical resolution values for
the various models.
Figure 7: Relationship between scan line width and distance to target
The relationship between the scan line width (L) and the distance (D) to the front side of the
linescanner housing is defined as described above. For long distances, the scan line width is about
twice the measurement distance (90° FOV).
5.2 Mounting
The linescanner can be installed with the mounting holes of the linescanner housing. This type of
setup is recommended for permanent installations where higher stability is desired.
Prevent all contact between heat sources and the linescanner to protect the linescanner from
overheating.
