5 General Description
5.1 Intended Use
The Ardoptix PT series provides efficient pyrometers for non-contact
temperature measurements.
The two-colour pyrometer Ardoptix PT 14x measures the intensity of in-
frared radiation at two different wavelengths. The ratio of these two in-
tensities is proportional to the temperature. The Ardoptix PT 14x is used
for temperature measurement from 650 °C to 2400 °C. These instru-
ments serve a broad range of applications which include the iron and
steel producing industry as well as the metal, glass, cement and chemi-
cal industries.
5.2 Operating Controls and Display
The rear panel of the Ardoptix has a 4-digit display and 4 push-buttons.
The display normally indicates the currently measured temperature. Dur-
ing configuration (using the push-buttons), the display will show the pa-
rameter you are setting. Whenever the display shows a parameter, the
F1 Parameter LED (yellow) will light up. During a running measurement,
the F2 Status LED (green) will light up.

6 Charging the batteries
Connect the battery charging socket of the Ardoptix to the provided pow-
er supply (9 V DC). The charge indicator lights as long as the batteries
are being charged. A complete charging cycle takes approx. 15 hours.

Only use the power supply which comes with the pyrome-

irreparable damage to the device.
The charger is only for charging the battery.
The rechargeable battery is only charged when the pyrom-
eter is switched off.

7 Preparing the pyrometer for measurements
7.1 General Information
The pyrometer’s field of view must remain unobstructed. Any obstruction
may lead to measurement errors.
7.2 Diopter compensation
7.3 Brightness control to protect the eye
7.4 Focusing the pyrometer

To ensure precise temperature measurement, the pyrometer
must be correctly focused on the target object
The pyrometer offers diopter compensa-
tion to adjust the sighting device to the
user’s vision.Turn the ring until you see
a sharp image of the target spot indica-
tion in the viewfinder.
Instruments with a measuring range of
> 2000 °C are equipped with a polarisation
filter to control brightness and protect the
user’s eye.
The pyrometer is equipped with focusable
optics. Turn the lens until the target object
and the target marker (distinctly marked in
the viewfinder) both appear in sharp focus
simultaneously

s
Operating manual
7
7.5 Align the pyrometers
Direct the Ardoptix to the object to be measured. The target marker in
the through-the-lens sighting device indicates the size of the target. (see
technical data/ course of target). When measuring with a two-colour py-
rometer, the object to be measured is not required to fill the complete
measurement area. The integrated traffic light function in the viewfinder
signals an inadmissible partial illumination and the measurement is
stopped.
7.6 Performing a measurement
Press the ON button to switch on the device. If necessary adjust the ratio
correction. Focus the target marker at the diopter correction switch and
adjust the pyrometer lens to the correct measuring distance.
Measurement is in progress as long as you press the ON button. The
temperature (depending on the configured mode) is displayed on the
rear panel when you release the ON button. As an option, the measure-
ment readings can be transmitted via interface.

The amount of thermal radiation emitted from an object de-

you determine the material constant (emissivity) of the target
object prior to first-time use

7.7 Automatic switch-off
In the default setting, the Ardoptix switches off automatically after 2
minutes if none of the control keys are pressed. Automatic switch-off can
be configured from 1 –60 minutes. The Ardoptix measures continuously
when it is in "automatic disconnection deactivated" mode.
8 Setting parameters at the pyrometer (basic configura-
tion)
Use the buttons ▲▼ and the „MODE" button on the rear panel to access
and configure parameters. With these buttons you can view and adjust
all settings required for operating the pyrometer.
Menu structure:
1. Press the MODE button while in normal operating mode to switch
to "configuration layer" mode.
2. Use ▲▼ to select the configuration layer for the parameter you
wish to set.
3. Press MODE to confirm. Press ▲▼ to select the particular param-
eter.
4. Press MODE to confirm. Press ▲▼ to adjust the parameter value.
5. Press MODE again to end. Press ▲▼ to select END.
Whenever a control key has not been pressed within 30 seconds, the py-
rometer will automatically return to normal operating mode. The modified
value is applied.

10 Setting the Emissivity Ratio (two-colour/ratio mode)
When the radiation properties of the target object’s surface (emissivity)
differ at two different wavelengths, or when interferences in the field of
view—such as dust or steam—do not weaken the signal to the same de-
gree at each wavelength, the pyrometer can be adjusted by setting the
ratio of these two emissivity coefficients.

During normal operating mode, the emissivity ratio can
be set at the pyrometer using the ▲▼ buttons. When
simultaneously pressing the MODE key, the display
shows the current measuring temperature while the
emissivity ratio coefficient continues to be adjusted in the
background. This is an easy way to determine the emis-
sivity ratio when the object temperature is known. The
modified values are directly adopted.

11 Initializing emissivity ratio constants
The Ardoptix lets you store up to 10 emissivity ratio factors. Before you
perform a new measurement, simply use the ▲▼ control keys to select
your preconfigured emissivity factor. When you select a stored emissivity
ratio factor, the display will briefly show the preconfigured factor for that
emissivity ratio factor.
11.1 Define number of emissivity ratio constants in array
Before you configure the pyrometer with emissivity ratio factors, you
must define the size/length of the array. This is the number of emissivity
ratio you would like the array to contain (10 maximum). Using parameter
E.TB.Q, enter the total number.
