4. Regulation Use
Any use of the device, which exceeds the manufacturer’s specification, may
invalidate its warranty. Therefore, any resulting damage is not the responsibility of
the manufacturer. The user assumes all risk for such usage.
The sensors of the TIN-SH series are noncontact infrared temperature sensors.
They calculate the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of
objects [see chapter 11 Basics of Infrared Thermometry]. The sensor housing of
the TIN-SH head is made of stainless steel (IP65/ NEMA-4 rating) – the sensor
electronics is placed in a separate box made of die casting zinc.
The CS sensing head is a sensitive optical system. Please use only the thread
for mechanical installation.
 Avoid abrupt changes of the ambient temperature.
 Avoid mechanical violence on the head – this may destroy the system
(expiry of warranty).
 If you have any problems or questions, please contact our service
department.

5.6 Optical Charts
The following optical charts show the diameter of the measuring spot in
dependence on the distance between measuring object and sensing head. The
spot size refers to 90 % of the radiation energy.
The distance is always measured from the front edge of the sensing head.
The size of the measuring object and the optical resolution of the infrared
thermometer determine the maximum distance between sensing head and
measuring object.
In order to prevent measuring errors, the object should fill out the field of
view of the optics completely.
Consequently, the spot should at all times have at least the same size like
the object or should be smaller than that.
D = Distance from front of the sensing head to the object
S = Spot size
The D:S ratio is valid for the focus point.

TIN-SH
TIN-SH K01/1023 page 9
5.7 CF Lens and Protective Window
The optional CF lens allows the measurement of very small objects and can be
used in combination with all TIN-SH models. The minimum spot size depends on
the used sensing head. The distance is always measured from the front edge of
the CF lens holder or laminar air purge collar.
The installation on the sensing head will be done by turning the CF lens until end
stop. To combine it with the massive housing please use the version with external
thread M12x1.
Typical Transmission values* if the CF lens is used (average values):

TIN-SH
TIN-SH K01/1023 page 17
7.1.2 Power supply
Please use a stabilized power supply unit with an output voltage in the range of
8–36 VDC which can supply 100 mA. The ripple should be max. 200 mV.
Please do never connect a supply voltage to the analog outputs as this will
destroy the output!
The TIN-SH is not a 2-wire sensor!
7.1.3 Cable Assembling
The cable gland M12x1,5 allows the use of cables with a diameter of 3 to 5 mm.
Remove the isolation from the cable (40 mm power supply, 50 mm signal outputs,
60 mm functional inputs). Cut the shield down to approximately 5 mm and spread
the strands out. Extract about 4 mm of the wire isolation and tin the wire ends.
Place the pressing screw, the rubber washer and the metal washers of the cable
gland one after the other onto the prepared cable end. Spread the strands and fix
the shield between two of the metal washers. Insert the cable into the cable gland
until the limit stop. Screw the cap tight.
Every single wire may be connected to the according screw clamps according to
their colors.
Use shielded cables only. The sensor shield has to be grounded.
7.1.4 TIN-SH
At the bottom side of the mainboard PCB you will find a connector (jumper) which
has been placed from factory side as shown in the picture [bottom and middle pin
connected]. In this position the ground connections (GND power supply/ outputs)
are connected with the ground of the electronics housing.
To avoid ground loops and related signal interferences in industrial environments
it might be necessary to interrupt this connection. To do this put the jumper in the
opposite position [middle and top pin connected].

TIN-SH
page 18 TIN-SH K01/1023
If the thermocouple output is used the connection GND – housing should be
interrupted generally.
7.2 Exchange of the Sensing Head
From factory side the sensing head has already been connected to the electronics
and the calibration code has been entered. Inside a certain model group any
exchange of sensing heads and electronics is possible.
After exchanging a head, the calibration code of the new head must be entered
into the electronics.
Entering of the Calibration Code
Every head has a specific calibration code, which is printed on the head cable. For
a correct temperature measurement and functionality of the sensor this calibration
code must be stored into the electronic box. The calibration code consists of 3
blocks (1M, 2M, 3M = 5 blocks) with 4 characters each.
Example: A6FG – 22KB – 0AS0
Block 1 Block 2 Block 3
For entering the code, please press the Up and Down key (keep pressed) and then
the Mode key. The display shows HCODE and then the 4 signs of the first block.
With Up and Down each sign can be changed; Mode switches to the next sign or
next block.
The entering of a new calibration code can also be made via the software
(optional).
You will find the calibration code on a label fixed on the head cable (near the
electronics). Please do not remove this label or make sure the code is noted
anywhere. The code is needed if the electronics has to be exchanged or in
case of a necessary recalibration of the sensor.

TIN-SH
TIN-SH K01/1023 page 19
After you have modified the head code a reset is necessary to activate the
change. [see chapter 9 Operating]
7.2.1 Sensing Head Cable
On all TIN-SH models the sensing head cable can be shortened if necessary.
8. Outputs and Inputs
8.1 Analog Outputs
The TIN-SH has two analog output channels.
CAUTION: Please do never connect a supply voltage to the analog outputs
as this will destroy the output.
The TIN-SH is not a 2-wire sensor!
8.1.1 Output channel 1
This output is used for the object temperature. The selection of the output signal
can be done via the programming keys [see chapter 9 Operating]. The software
allows the programming of output channel 1 as an alarm output.
8.1.2 Output channel 2
The connection pin OUT-AMB is used for output of the head temperature [-20-180
°C or -20-250 °C (on LT02H and LT10H) as 0–5 V or 0–10 V signal]. The software
allows the programming of output channel 2 as an alarm output. Instead of the
head temperature T
Head
also the object temperature T
Obj
or electronic box
temperature T
Box
can be selected as alarm source.

TIN-SH
page 20 TIN-SH K01/1023
8.2 Digital Interfaces
The TIN-SH sensors can be optionally equipped with an USB-interface.
If you want to install an interface, plug the interface board into the place provided,
which is located beside the display. In the correct position the holes of the interface
match with the thread holes of the electronic box. Now press the board down to
connect it and use both M3x5 screws for fixing it. Plug the preassembled interface
cable with the terminal block into the male connector of the interface board.
8.3 Functional Inputs
The three functional inputs F1 – F3 can be programmed with the software only.
F1 (digital): trigger (a 0 V level on F1 resets the hold functions)
F2 (analog): external emissivity adjustment
[0–10 V: 0 V ► ε = 0,1; 9 V ► ε = 1; 10 V ► ε = 1,1]
F3 (analog): external compensation of ambient temperature/ the range is scalable
via software
[0–10 V ► -40-900 °C/ preset range: -20-200 °C]
F1-F3 (digital): emissivity (digital choice via table)
A non-connected input represents:
F1 = High |F2, F3 = Low
[High-Level: ≥ +3 V…+36 V | Low level: ≤ +0,4 V…–36 V]
