Fault
Cause
Solution
Pyrometer does not provide any
measured values
Power supply faulty or interrupted
• Check the power supply
• Check plugs and connections
• Inspect cable
If the pyrometer supplies
inaccurate measured values or
measured values are outside of
the expected range
Dirty optics or condensation on the
lens
Clean optics (see.
Optics (section 10.2) at page 12)
Measuring object smaller than
spot size
Check measuring distance, small-
est spot size is at nominal measur-
ing distance (see Available optics
(section 5.2.1) at page 6)
Incorrect alignment of the switch to
the object
New correct alignment to achieve
the max. temperature signal (see
Setting the optic (section 5.2.2) at
page 6)

Transport and Storage
9.1
Transport of the Pyrometer
CAUTION:
Environmental factors, impacts and the formation of water condensation may damage some compo-
nents!
When transporting the pyrometer, take suitable measures to protect all components from environmen-
tal factors, impacts and the formation of water condensation! Temporary storage of the pyrometer in
the open air is not permitted!
Look at Taking out of service (section 11.1) at page 12 how to dismantle the pyrometer.
It is advisable to use the original packaging for the shipping of the pyrometer. If the original packaging is no
longer available, the pyrometer should be shipped in a cardboard box with shock-absorbing PE material.
When transporting the pyrometer observe the following instructions:
• Take great care when transporting the pyrometer to avoid damage through the effect of force, or careless
loading or unloading.
• Avoid jerks, vibrations and the formation of condensed water due to severe temperature deviations while
transporting.
• In the case of overseas shipping, a suitable desiccator (e.g. silica gel) should be inserted and the pyrom-
eter should be sealed together with the desiccator in a protective plastic sheet.
• If the pyrometer is not immediately installed after delivery and put into operation, then it should be care-
fully stored in a location protected against dust and humidity (Storage of the Pyrometer (section 9.2) at
page 11).

The pyrometer is thus ready to be shipped.
9.2
Storage of the Pyrometer
CAUTION:
Environmental factors, impacts and the formation of water condensation may damage some compo-
nents!
Store the pyrometer only in dry areas without large variations in temperature! The atmosphere should
be free of dust and corrosive vapors!
