2 Safety
2.1 Use of the Operating Manual
Any person who is tasked to carry out work with the device must have read and understood the operating in-
structions before beginning. Operation and maintenance of the system may only be performed by trained per-
sonnel.
2.2 Supplementary Information about the Operation
The following symbol is used to simplify the search for useful information:
|INFO| indicates useful tips, recommendations and information for efficient and trouble free operation.
2.2.1 Warning Notes
The following symbols are used in this manual and, if applicable, on the device as a mark for information, re-
strictions, preventive measures and security notes. This information indicates risks and how they can be
avoided.
Please pay attention to this symbols for safety reasons.
|CAUTION|This combination of symbol and signal word indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
|NOTICE|indicates a potentially hazardous situation that can lead to property and environmental damage if
not avoided.
|SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS|indicate specific safety-related instructions or procedures.
2.2.2 Safety Labels / Symbols
Additionally to the warning notes used in this manual, the following warning symbols are used. Warning sym-
bols are also to find on the device. Follow all measures marked with the label to avoid injury.
Indicates general hazards.
Indicates the hazard for the eyes due to a class 2 laser targeting light.

2.3 Device Labels
On the top of the device there is the type label (nameplate) as well as a warning sticker for devices with laser
targeting light.
Mount the device in a manner that the labels are still clearly visible after installation.
Keep the warning signs in always legible condition
Replace damaged labels
2.4 Identification Label
The identification label on top of the device shows logo of seller and
information to reference number, temperature range, serial number, serial inter-
face output (=digital output), analog output, power supply, manufacturer, country
of manufacture and CE sign.
2.5 Laser Targeting Light
For easy alignment, the pyrometers may be equipped with a laser targeting light, laser class 2 (according to
IEC 60825-1. The laser emits a visible red light with a maximum power of < 1 mW and a wavelength around
650 nm.
|SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS|:
Never look into the direct or reflected laser beam.
Do not point the laser to anyone.
If laser radiation hits the eye, avert one's eyes immediately.
2.6 Through-lens Sighting / View Finder
Devices with through lens sighting and temperature range above 1400°C are equipped with an adjustable eye
protection filter in the eyepiece to reduce glare at high measurement temperatures. The unprotected look at
temperatures >1400°C can damage the eyes function permanently.
|SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS|:
Only look with darkened eyepiece at objects with temperatures above 1400°C / 2552°F to protect the eyes
against glare at high radiation temperatures.
Before looking at the high temperatures, always first adjust the eyepiece by turning it to the darkest position.
2.7 Electrical Connection
When connecting or when working on the mains voltage, the general safety guidelines are observed, e.g. when
connecting power transformers. Supply voltage can be lethal when touching. Improper installation can cause
serious injury or physical damage. Only qualified personnel are allowed to work with mains voltage.
Our recommendation is the use of our wiring box accessory, this is a fully assembled connection set for Pro-
cess Sensors pyrometers.
2.8 Responsibility of the Operators / Process Responsibility
If the device is used in the commercial sector the operator is subject to the legal responsibilities for workplace
safety.
In addition to the safety instructions in this manual follow the regulations of safety, accident prevention and en-
vironmental protection. If the device is integrated into a system, the safety of the system in which the device is
integrated is in the responsibility of the installer of the system.
Process Sensors Corporation does not guarantee that the temperature control in all processes will meet the
desired requirements. Process Sensors Corporation excludes the process responsibility.

The here described 2-color pyrometers Metis M3 are devices for non-contact temperature measurement. With
its short-wave spectral range they are suitable for measurements on metals, ceramics, graphite etc. with tem-
perature ranges depending on the model execution between 300 and 3300°C (M3) or 350 and 3300°C (H3).

4 Electrical Connection
4.1 Cable Colors and Pin Assignment (14 wire connection cables)
The electrical connection of the pyrometer (supply voltage and measuring signal) will be done via the connect-
or on the rear panel. For this purpose, pre-assembled connection cables are available as accessories (see 9.3
Accessories). To prevent accidental short circuits, not used cable wires need to be placed, for example to the
supplied screw terminals.

|NOTICE|We generally recommend the use of the current 14-wire connection cables. Precaution when
using 12-wire connection cables that were delivered before 2015: Connection cable for the previous models
Metis and Sirius cannot be connected without restrictions on a M3 / H3 pyrometer!
Old connection cables are bridged in the cable connector to pins E-C and D-F. Connecting such a cable to a
M3 pyrometer, serial interface and analog output 2 and digital input / output 3 are connected and the galvanic
isolation between the outputs is bypassing. Thereby the pyrometer is not destroyed, but the functions are no
longer available. Using such a cable only analog output 1 is available as output.
