Installation and initial operation
Preparation
The pyrometer position and the respectively adjustable parameters are determined from the
application. Concerning the pyrometer position, please take care of ambient temperature,
atmospherical conditions and potential occurrence of electromagnetic interferences.
Furthermore, factor the cable conduit for the used connecting cables of the pyrometer into your
planning.
Ambient temperature
The ambient temperatures must not exceed the allowed operation temperature for the sensor
head: 0 °C to 125 °C. Otherwise wrong measuring results may occur or even a damage of the
sensor head. If the ambient temperature is too high the pyrometer must be used in combination
with appropriate accessories (e.g. cooling jacket, please refer chapter Accessories, on page
29). The electronics box has an allowable operating temperature of 0 °C to 70 °C.
Atmospherical conditions
Smoke, dust, steam or other air contamination as well as contaminated optics are a problem for
non-contact temperature measurement. As the Pyrometer cannot receive the full infrared
energy for an exact measurement, measuring errors will be the result. An air purge unit (see
chapter Accessories, on page 29) can be helpful to avoid contamination of the lens. An air
purge unit requires a respective air supply (air pressure < 0.5 bar, oil free).
Electromagnetic interferences
Any interferences beyond may affect proper functionality of the pyrometer!
To protect the device from electromagnetic interferences the following methods are
recommended:

The device should be mounted as far as possible from potential sources of interferences, e.g.
machine parts with electrical motors, which may produce interference peaks.

Use shielded cables for all connections. Please select a cable from our accessories list, chapter
Accessories, on page 29.

Make sure that the Pyrometer is grounded properly.

To avoid ground loops please connect only the cable shield or the ground of the pyrometer.

Location requirements
It is recommended to use the available fixed or adjustable mounting angles for mounting of the
device. Please refer chapter Accessories, on page 29.
