How to read the displayed data
The display indicates (above left) the connection of a temperature sensor
(Temperature and type of sensor TC K for example). The display is as follows:
The Sensor options menu with a thermocouple interface.
056

The word TEMPERATURE indicated that a thermocouple interface is connected.

The units are °C or °K and °F or °R. The unit depends of the setting made in
the
Settings
menu.

The thermocouple
types are “J” and “K”, selectable by the user in the
Settings
menu.

The data represents the actual temperature applied on the sensor.
Open
displayed means that the sensing unit is out of order or not connected.

CONTACT INFRARED TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Main applications
This non-contact infrared pyrometer can be used alone or in conjunction with the
SDT 170 receiver. It is powered by a 9 V alkaline battery.
A laser pointer allows you to home in on the centre of the measuring spot. The
spot diameter depends on the distance between the pyrometer and the measured
surface. It is 20 mm at 1m and 60 mm at 2m.
When the pyrometer is used alone, the measured temperature can be displayed
on the pyrometer screen in °C or °F, over a measuring range of -32 to +550 °C
(-25 to 1022 °F).
When connected to the SDT 170 receiver, it can display the temperature in °C, °K,
°F and °R, from -18 °C to +260 °C (-0.4 to 500 °F) and store the result in memory
in the SDT 170 unit.
Main applications are for monitoring mechanical and electrical equipment, as well
as predictive maintenance.
