Modline 5 Description
The IRCON Modline 5 is an Infrared Thermometer Sensor. State of the art digital circuitry and firmware
provide excellent measurement accuracy, repeatability and overall performance. New diagnostics check
the status of the Sensor (such as detector temperature, sensor failure) and some of its external
environment (such as analog current output open circuit condition and case temperature). An internal
function check is performed without the need to block the lens. The check tests for and internal circuit
and detector operation. Alarms and Error Codes are outputted when out of limit conditions are sensed.
The Patented Dirty Window Detector option checks the Sensors front window for loss of signal because
a buildup of contaminants.
An easy to read, bright LED alphanumeric temperature display and three pushbuttons on a keyboard
is located at the rear of the Sensor. Each Sensor has a full complement of easy to navigate rear panel
setup and operating functions. Operation as a standalone Sensor is accomplished simply by using its
rear panel keyboard to access and setup operating parameters. The Sensor can display and output
temperature signals, and operates with an external dc power source.
The Sensor optics and electronics are contained in a small, rugged stainless steel NEMA 4 (IP65) rated
housing. Modline 5 accessories for mounting, air purging and cooling the Sensor have been designed
to maintain a small installation footprint.
2.2.1
Sensor Standard Features
Through the lens visible rear focusing and sighting with standard or close focus lenses.
Field selected °F or °C measuring units.
Field selectable analog current outputs, 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA. Temperatures within the span of the
Sensor can be assigned to the Analog output Zero and Full scale current values to customize the
corresponding output temperature range.
Peak Picker and Track and Hold Signal Conditioning with remote switch input for Peak Picker Reset or
Track and Hold operation.
RS-485 Digital Communications allows interfacing with any RS-485 capable device to setup and operate
the Sensor remotely. This allows use of a Host computer, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), etc.
with the Sensor
Analog current input for remote adjustment of Emissivity or E-Slope.
Sensor diagnostic Alarm relay contacts are brought out on the interconnecting cable.
2.2.2
Optional Sensor Features
The Dirty Window Detector and Laser Sight are optional features that can be ordered when the Sensor
is purchased.
These options are not field upgradeable.
