Maintenance of Thermopile Sensors
To trace the signal from the Thermopile Sensor to 1919-R:
1.
With the instrument on, apply an approximately known amount of power to the sensor. This
test can be performed using either a laser or an electrical power supply and the calibration
resistor.
2.
Estimate the approximate signal current that should be developed by the sensor by
multiplying the input power by the sensor-sensitivity shown in
3.
Using a multimeter set to current, unplug the sensor from the 1919-R and check that this
current appears between pin 1 and 9 of the D type plug.
