3.3 Wiring for External Power
The wiring for the current mode is also different when the output is powered externally. When
an external 24VDC power supply is used, wire as shown in Figure 4.

3.4 Software Setup
Analog output is configured with TemperaSure under each pyrometer’s setup. The analog output
from each unit (channel) can be configured as a voltage or a current, 0 to 10 volts or 4 to 20mA.
The minimum and maximum electrical values are entered, along with the corresponding
minimum and maximum temperature values. These four numbers will scale the analog output.
See Figure 5: Analog Output Setup display.
3.5 Configuration
With all the connections made, open the TemperaSure software program. Wait a few seconds
for the instrument to start displaying temperatures in the box or boxes above the graphical
display. Open the Pyrometer Settings menu for the pyrometer that is to be configured and follow
the steps below:
1.
Select the Analog Output tab. See Figure 5 below.
2.
Click the “Use Analog Output” checkbox.
3.
Click on either Voltage or Current button.
4.
Go to the corresponding section and type in the minimum temperature and the maximum
temperature and the corresponding voltage or current values. Voltages between 0 and 10
volts and currents between 0 and 20mA may be entered. See Scaling section below for
details.
5.
Values may be stored in two ways. By pressing the “Save” button the values are stored
in the electronics memory and are retained even if the pyrometer is reset or powered
down. Values may also be stored by pressing the “Apply” button; however these values
will not be retained if the pyrometer is reset or powered down. Pressing the “Apply”
button will interrupt the output from the pyrometer for two to four seconds. Pressing the
“Save” button will interrupt output from the pyrometer for several seconds.
