The I-Tec Mini Series is a range of miniature non-contact infrared temperature sensors
with separate electronics modules.
All models have an adjustable emissivity setting and are capable of measuring a wide
variety of target materials, including food, paper, textiles, plastics, leather, tobacco,
pharmaceuticals, chemicals, ruMBer, coal and asphalt.
The optional touch screen interface provides temperature indication, alarms, sensor
configuration and data logging to MicroSD Card. The optional high-temperature
sensing head may be used in ambient temperatures of up to 180°C without cooling.
The low-noise cable on high ambient temperature models is resistant to interference
from movement, so it is ideal for mounting on moving objects such as robot arms.
A choice of optics are available to measure small or large targets at short or long
distances, and there is a choice of 4-20 mA, RS485 Modbus and alarm relay outputs.

EMISSIVITY ADJUSTMENT (-I MODELS)
The emissivity setting on I-Tec Mini -I models may be adjusted via two rotary switches inside the
electronics box. To adjust the emissivity setting:
Set the left switch to the first digit after the decimal point (0.1).
Set the right switch to the second digit after the decimal point (0.01).
To enter an emissivity setting of 1.00, set both switches to 0.
The minimum emissivity setting is 0.2. If a lower emissivity setting is selected, the sensor will default
to an emissivity setting of 0.95.
For example:
Left switch Right switch Emissivity setting
6 3 0.63
0 0 1.00
TOUCH SCREEN (-IT AND -MBT MODELS)
The optional backlit touch screen interface mounted in the lid of the electronics module provides a
large, bright display of the measured temperature, as well as options for full configuration of the
sensor. The graph view shows the history of the measured temperature.
In alarm conditions, the display changes colour to provide an immediate and obvious alarm
indication. Alarm modes and levels can be configured via the touch screen.

ACCESSORIES
A range of accessories to suit different applications and industrial environments is available. These
may be ordered at any time and added on-site. The following accessories are available from I-Tec:
Fixed mounting bracket (see above for dimensions): Allows rotational adjustment in one
dimension. Model number: FBS.
Adjustable mounting bracket (see above for dimensions): Allows rotational adjustment in two
dimensions. Model number: ABS.
Air purge collar (see above for dimensions): The air purge collar is used to keep dust, fumes,
moisture, and other contaminants away from the lens. It must be screwed fully onto the
sensing head. Air flows into the 1/8” BSP fitting and out of the front aperture. Air flow should
be 5 to 15 l/min. Clean or ‘instrument’ air is recommended. Model APSW is for use with
sensors with 2:1 optics. Model APSN is for use with all other I-Tec Mini models.
Laser sighting tool: When fitted to the sensor during installation or re-alignment, the laser
sighting tool pinpoints the centre of the measured spot. Model number: LSTS.
MicroSD Card: Stores logged data. For use with -MBT and -IT models. Includes SD Card
adapter. Model number: SPLOG.
OPTIONS
The following options are available. Options are factory installed and must be ordered with the
sensor.
Calibration Certificate: UKAS traceable certificate showing the measured temperature at
three points across the sensor’s temperature range. Model number: CALCERTA.
Extended Cable (30 m maximum total cable length): 1 m cable is supplied with each sensor
as standard. Extra cable can be added to this in increments of 1 m. Model number: VKVL

INSTALLATION
The installation process consists of the following stages:
Preparation Mechanical installation Electrical installation
Please read the following sections thoroughly before proceeding with the installation.
PREPARATION
Ensure that the sensor is positioned so that it is focused on the target only.
DISTANCE AND SPOT SIZE
The size of the area (spot size) to be measured determines the distance between the sensor and
the target. The spot size must not be larger than the target. The sensor should be mounted so
that the measured spot size is smaller than the target.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The I-Tec Mini is available with a choice of two miniature sensing heads, for use in low or high
ambient temperatures:
-MA models: The sensing head is designed to operate in ambient temperatures from 0°C to 60°C.
-HA models: The sensing head is designed to operate in ambient temperatures from 0°C to
180°C. No cooling is required, which saves the energy and cost of supplying air or water to
cool the sensor.
Avoid thermal shock. Allow 20 minutes for the unit to adjust to large changes in ambient
temperature.
ATMOSPHERIC QUALITY
Smoke, fumes, dust or steam can contaminate the lens and cause errors in temperature
measurement. In these types of environment the air purge collar should be used to help keep the
lens clean.
INTERFERENCE FROM MOVEMENT
The low-noise sensing head cable on -HA models is resistant to interference caused by movement.
The sensing head may be mounted on moving machinery such as robot arms without affecting the
accuracy of the measured temperature.
ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
The I-Tec Mini is tested to industrial standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) as shown in
Specifications at the beginning of this manual.

15
›
english
To minimise electromagnetic interference or ‘noise’, the sensor should be mounted away from
motors, generators and such like.
POWER SUPPLY
Be sure to use a 24 V DC (100 mA) power supply.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
All sensors come with a 1 m cable and a mounting nut as standard. Longer cables are available to
order. The sensor can be mounted on brackets or cut-outs of your own design, or you can use the
fixed or adjustable mounting bracket accessories.
Note: The sensor housing must be connected to earth at one point, either the housing of the
sensing head, the electronics module, or the output cable shield termination. To avoid ground
loops, please ensure the sensor is grounded at only one of these points.

WIRING (ALL MODELS)
Check the distance between the sensing head and the electronics module, and between the
electronics module and the instrumentation. If necessary, the sensor can be ordered with a longer
cable between the sensing head and the electronics module.
The output cable from the electronics module should have an outer diameter between 3.0 and 6.5
mm, with conductors of size 28 to 18 AWG.
The terminal blocks in the electronics module may be removed from the circuit board for easy
wiring.
Do not disconnect the touch screen circuit board from the main circuit board while the sensor is on.
WIRING (-MB AND -MBT MODELS)
When connecting several sensors in a single Modbus network, all of the sensors should be
connected via a junction box to a single network bus cable, running from the furthest sensor to the
Modbus Master.
Up to 247 sensors may be connected to a single Modbus network. Each sensor must have a
unique Modbus address. I-Tec Mini sensors are normally shipped with Modbus address 1. The
Modbus address may be changed via the touch screen interface on -MBT models, or via Modbus.
To help prevent data reflections, please ensure the cable between each sensor and the main
network bus is as short as possible. The network bus should be terminated with a resistor of 120Ω
between the RS+ and RS- wires. The PWR- wire of the bus should be connected to the signal
ground of the Modbus Master.

* Single register writes only. New address will not take effect until next power on.
Notes:
1. All temperatures are in tenths of degrees C
2. Writing to unlisted registers could cause malfunction
3. All write and mask operations are saved to non-volatile memory
4. For further information please refer to http://www.modbus.org/specs.php
5. Use address 255 to communicate with any connected sensor. Use address 0 to broadcast to
all connected sensors (no response expected)
OPERATION
Once the sensor is in position and the appropriate power, air and cable connections are secure,
the system is ready for continuous operation by completing the following simple steps:
1. Turn on the sensor power supply
2. Turn on the connected instrumentation
3. Read, monitor or log the temperature
IMPORTANT
Be aware of the following when using the sensor:
• If the sensor is exposed to significant changes in ambient temperature (hot to cold, or cold to
hot), allow 20 minutes for the temperature to stabilise before taking or recording measurements.
• Do not operate the sensor near large electromagnetic fields (e.g. around arc welders or induction
heaters). Electromagnetic interference can cause measurement errors.
• Wires must be connected only to the appropriate terminals.
VIEWING THROUGH A WINDOW
The I-Tec Mini is capable of measuring the temperature of a target through a window made of a
material that is transmissive to infrared radiation at 8-14 microns. The emissivity setting of the
sensor should be adjusted to compensate for the presence of the window. Please contact I-Tec for
more information on using the I-Tec Mini with a window.

MAINTENANCE
Our customer service representatives are available for application assistance, calibration, repair, and
solutions to specific problems. Contact our Service Department before returning any equii-Tec Minient.
In many cases, problems can be solved over the telephone. If the sensor is not performing as it should,
try to match the symptom below to the problem. If the table does not help, call I-Tec for further advice.
Troubleshooting
Symptom Probable Cause Solution
No output No power to sensor Check power supply
Erroneous temperature Incorrect wire connection Check wire colour codes
Erroneous temperature Faulty sensor cable Verify cable continuity
Erroneous temperature Field of view obstruction Remove obstruction
LENS CLEANING
Keep the lens clean at all times. Any foreign matter on the lens would affect measurement accuracy.
Blow off loose particles (if not using the air purge accessory) with an air ‘puffer’.

La série I-Tec Mini est une gamme de mini-capteurs de température infrarouge avec
électronique séparée.
Tous les modèles disposent d’un réglage d’émissivité et sont capables de mesurer une
grande variété de matériaux : nourriture, papier, textiles, plastiques, cuir, tabac,
produits pharmaceutiques, produits chimiques, caoutchouc, charbon et l’asphalte.
L’option écran tactile permet l’indication de température, les alarmes, la configuration
du capteur et l’enregistrement des données sur carte MicroSD. L’option tête de
détection haute température permet une utilisation à des températures ambiantes
allant jusqu’à 180 ° C sans refroidissement. Sur les modèles haute température, les
câbles supportent les déplacements pour des montages sur bras robot.
Un large choix d’optiques est disponible pour s’adapter aux tailles des cibles et aux
distances demesures. Les modèles dispose de sorties 4-20 mA, alarmes et RS 485
MODBUS.
