Warnings
•
Lightpipes are expensive and extremely fragile. Use care when handling.
•
Lightpipes should always be kept clean and free from deposition. Sheaths are recommended
to both prevent breakage and preserve cleanliness. Wearing clean gloves is recommended
when handling lightpipes.
•
Pyrometer lenses must be kept clean and free from scratches.
•
Probe heads should never be exposed to temperatures over 60°C (158°F) or they will be
damaged. If the application requires the probe to be exposed to temperatures above 60°C,
please contact BASF Temperature Sensing customer support. BASF manufactures air-
cooling assembles which protect the probes in high-temperature environments. The
operating specification is 10°C to 60°C and up to 250ºC for the lens and fiber optic cable
assembly.
•
Never use the probe head without the interface box. The interface box isolates the probe
from electrical noise.
•
Make sure all data is saved before using Reset.
The Reset feature of the TemperaSure
software may cause loss of any unsaved data.
•
Make sure all probe settings are saved to the probes before the system is powered off. The
Apply button will not save the settings if power is turned off. Only the Save button will save
probe settings under power cycling conditions.
•
Be certain that you
Save
your data in either binary files (.bin) for reviewing with the
TemperaSure software and that you
Export
data to text (.txt) files for use with other
programs, like MS Excel.
•
Be careful when selecting COM port(s). You may have COM port(s) that are connected to
other hardware.
•
The probe settings (Figure 5) greatly affect the temperature measurements. Read section 4.4
carefully or call BASF for assistance.
•
Always check and test the analog output operation before it is connected to a furnace or other
process equipment.
•
If the equipment is not used in a manner consistent with manufacturer
instructions/specifications, the protections provided by the equipment may be impaired.
