The customer is responsible for preparation of the sensor stand, installation of the position indicator with the trigger
bar and the complete field wiring as indicated in the appendix.
3.1 Environment
Please take note of the following:
•
The maximum ambient temperature for the scanner within the protective housing is 50°C (122°F). If
necessary, add an additional shaded roof to protect the protective housing from direct sunlight or provide
water direct to the scanner.
•
For details on grounding the sensor stand, please refer to the local building codes for lightning protection.
•
The housing of the linescanner and the system connection box must have the same potential
– check for
good electrical contact at grounding wire connection.
3.2 Scanner Distance to Kiln
The CS system with one-scanner is suited for small to medium length kilns up to 60 m (200 ft) in length. For longer
kilns a system with two or more scanner will be required.
The linescanner has a 90° scan angle. The distance D between the scanner and the kiln required for complete
coverage of the kiln length L can be calculated as follows:
