Basics

3Basics
3.1 Measurement of Infrared Temperature
Everything emits an amount of infrared radiation according to its surface temperature. The intensity of
the infrared radiation changes according to 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 see section 9.2 Typical Emissivity Values, page 42.
Infrared thermometers are optical-electronic sensors. These sensors are able to detect ”radiation of
heat”. Infrared thermometers are made up 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 parameter. The connected electronics generate electrical
signals for further analysis. As the intensity of the emitted infrared radiation is dependent on the
material, the required emissivity can be selected on the sensor.
The biggest advantage of the infrared thermometer is its ability to measure in the absence of contact.
Consequently, surface temperatures of moving or hard to reach objects can easily be measured.
3.2 Distance and Spot Size
The desired spot size on the target will determine the maximum measurement distance and the
necessary focus length of the optical module. To avoid erroneous readings the target spot size must
contain the entire field of view of the sensor. Consequently, the sensor must be positioned so the field
of view is the same as or smaller than the desired target size. For a list indicating the available focus
models and their parameters see Figure 2: Optical Diagrams on page 11.
Figure 3: Proper Sensor Placement
3.3 Ambient Temperature
The sensing head is designed for measurements in ambient temperatures between 0°C and 70°C (32 to
160°F). In ambient conditions above 70°C (160°F), a water or air cooled housing is available to extend
the operating range to 120°C (250°F) with air cooling and to 175°C (350°F) with water cooling. When
using the water cooled housing, it is strongly recommended to use the supplied air purge collar to avoid
condensation on the lens. In ambient conditions up to 315°C (600°F), the ThermoJacket housing should
be used.

3.4 Atmospheric Quality
In order to prevent damage to the lens and erroneous readings, the lens should always be protected
from dust, smoke, fumes, and other contaminants. For this purpose an air purge collar is available. You
should only use oil free, clean “instrument“ air.
3.5 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.
3.6 Emissivity of Target Object
Determine the emissivity of the target object as described in appendix 9.1 Determination of Emissivity
on page 42. If emissivity is low, measured results could be falsified by interfering infrared radiation
from background objects (such as heating systems, flames, fireclay bricks, etc. close beside or behind
the target object). This type of problem can occur when measuring reflecting surfaces and very thin
materials such as plastic films and glass.
This measuring error when measuring objects with low emissivity can be reduced to a minimum if
particular care is taken during installation, and the sensing head is shielded from these reflecting
radiation sources.

The infrared sensor provides a standard two-wire current loop output and has been designed for use in
harsh industrial environments. The Smart model allows the remote programming of the temperature
range, alarm values and other functions.
4.1 Wire Parameters for Current Loop
You should use shielded twisted pairs or multiple twisted pairs with a joint shield.
Line length
The maximum line length of one two-wire line per loop is dependent on the loop resistance (R), the
capacitance per length unit (C), and the capacitance of the sensor CS(5000 pF). It is calculated as follows:

Installation
TX Rev. O7 07/2017 17
1.) Prepare the cable, remove about 6cm (2.36 in) of
the insulation. Shorten the shield to about 1cm (0.4 in).
Tin-coat the connecting leads.
2.) Unscrew the end-cap until it can be pulled away
from the sensor body.
3.) Open the PG threaded cable gland.
4.) The cable gland consists of a PG nut,
a plastics part and a metal cone ring.
5.) Feed the prepared cable through the components
of the cable gland.
6.) Make sure to have a proper contact between the
braided shield and the metal cone ring.
7.) Place the PG screwed cable gland back into the
outer cap. Tighten the PG nut firmly.
8.) Connect the signal wires to the screw terminals.
9.) Screw the end-cap firmly onto the sensor until it is tight (flush with the sensor body).
IMPORTANT: Neither the end-cap nor the cable gland should have any play after tightening.

The screwed cable gland described above is not a strain relief! Consequently, the cable
must be clamped accordingly during the installation. The outside diameter of the
connecting cables (round cable) should lie between 4 to 6 mm (about 0.2 inches). Note
that it might be necessary to additionally seal the cable entry to allow IP65 with smaller
cables!

4.4 Basic Model
The standard model is available for °C or °F. It
provides a 2 pin screw-jumper terminal for
connecting the 4 to 20 mA current loop. The polarity
is indicated on the panel.
Above the screw-jumper terminal there are two
rotary switches for emissivity setting. Emissivity is
preset at the factory at 0.95 (see figure). The appendix
lists typical emissivity values for common materials,
see appendix see section 9.2 Typical Emissivity
Values, page 42.
4.4.1 Installation with a Controller
Figure 7: Typical installation of basic model
4.5 Smart Model
The Smart model has a 3 pin screw-jumper terminal
for connecting the 4 to 20 mA current loop and the
alarm output. The terminal assignment is marked on
the panel. To allow clip leads from a HART adapter to
attach directly to the sensor for setting sensor
parameters, raise the removable terminal strip about
4 mm (0.2 inches) from the rear panel board and
connect across the exposed (+) and (-) pins. For
example, via line terminals, a lap-top with a HART
adapter can be used for programming the sensor.
4.5.1 HART Protocol
Originally, transmission of information was in one direction only, from sensing head to process control.
The parameters monitored for the production of a product were not changed. In order to use the same
technological equipment to manufacture a multitude of differing products, it must be possible to
quickly alter many process parameters. This has an effect on the sensing head. Measuring range,
accuracy and alarm values must be redefined. It would be extremely inconvenient if it were necessary
to reprogram the sensing head at the unit every time. The HART protocol arose from this requirement.
It allows the application of ”intelligent” sensors. The sensing heads can be programmed from the control
room. This means that information is transmitted in two directions. The sensing head provides analog
measured values to the control room via the 4 to 20 mA current loop. The sensing head can be
reprogrammed from the control room by means of bi-directional transmission of digital signals. The
superposition of analog and digital signals is described by the HART protocol. Sensors which are
programmable in this way are called SMART sensors. Apart from the Smart model, a HART/RS232

adapter is also available. This adapter allows programming of infrared sensing heads using a computer
with an RS232 interface.
4.5.2 HART/RS232 Adapter
The adapter (XXXTXACRCK) allows both remote
setting and signal processing of one or more sensors
in a 4 to 20 mA current loop. A software suitable for a
Windows®PC are supplied together with the adapter.
The adapter has a 25-pin terminal connector for
connecting to an RS232 interface. Screw terminals are
provided for connecting the 4 to 20 mA current loop,
terminal 4 (S2) and terminal 5 (S1).
Terminal 6 is connected internally to computer chassis ground!

4.5.4 Address Assignment for Multiple Sensors
The sensing heads are factory-programmed with ”Polling Address 0”!
When installing a number of sensors, note that each sensing head must first be assigned a separate
polling (1 to 15). To do this, use the software supplied with the Smart model, and the HART/RS232
adapter:
Install the software, see software manual.
Connect the HART/RS232 adapter to the RS232 interface of your computer.
Connect the Smart model which is to be programmed to the adapter. Use either the installation
with the external resistor or the alternative with the internal resistor.
For configuring the sensor, go to the <Sensor> <Sensor Setup> menu in the software.

4.5.6 Installation of Multiple Sensors (digital and analog, address mode)
Maximum 12 sensors can be used.
Analog and digital communication for the sensor with polling address 0.
Communication for the remaining 11 sensors purely digital.
Figure 15: All sensors in digital communication, first sensor also with analog current output
The sensing heads are factory-programmed with ”Polling Address 0”!
When installing a number of sensors, note that each sensing head must first be assigned a separate
polling address (0 to 11), section 4.5.4 Address Assignment for Multiple Sensors on page 21).
4.5.7 Installation of Multiple Sensors (digital and analog, tag mode)
To run a sensor with analog current output, the sensor is to address with polling address 0. In case of
having multiple sensors running with analog current output, the polling address can not be the criteria
to distinguish between the sensors, because every sensor would be set to the same address. To avoid
this, a sensor can be named by means of a so called tag. The tag will be stored within the units memory
and can later be used to identify the sensor uniquely.
