1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The temperature measurement of a liquid or gaseous compound has been successfully made with thermoelectric or
expansion thermometers thanks to the good thermal exchange between the fluid and the sensor.
With solid bodies a good thermal exchange is difficult to be obtained and an additional measuring error should be
considered.
Direct contact measurement is impractical when the object being measured is moving, or electrically hazardous, or
for any other reasons cannot be touched with a thermocouple. A non-contact IR temperature measurement is the
only solution to the above problems. Other applications benefit because non-contact thermometers do not add or
remove heat or disturb the process in any way.

Eurotron has applied the most recent development in IR sensor technology and, based on an extensive application
experience, has designed the new line of non-contact thermometers series IRtec Rayomatic applying a total
modularity concept. Each IRtec Rayomatic thermometer consists of a cylindrical chassis able to contain: lens, optical
filters, IR sensor and electronic. IRtec Rayomatic 100 has a remote optical head that allow a good location of the
instrument and the best accessibility of measuring head .

Eurotron IRtec infrared thermometers have been designed to be used on a wide range of industrial and research
applications.
These thermometers include the emissivity adjusment and a 4/20 mA linear output in order to work using the
DigiMax display units. DigiMax is a microprocessor unit and it is able to provide the necessary 24Vdc current loop
power supply. You can order the indicator complete of one or two programmable alarm relè.
Any other acquisition unit with 4/20 mA two wires current loop input can be used with the thermometers.

IRtec Rayomatic 20 IRtec Rayomatic 40

IRtec Rayomatic 20
IRtec Rayomatic 20 thermometers are easy to use and reliable pyrometers that can be manually set acting on
trimmers situated on the back side of the instrument.

IRtec Rayomatic 40
IRtec Rayomatic 40 are sophisticated thermometers that implement a digital communication protocol superimposed
to the standard 4-20mA current loop. This allows the user to set the parameters by means of a PC, a Bell202/RS232
adapter and the dedicated software as well as continuously monitoring the measurements.

IRtec Rayomatic 60
Fibre optic IRtec Rayomatic 60 infrared thermometers are designed for non contact temperature measurements.
Two series are available with different spectral band: series 100 in 0.9 µm and series 160 in 1.6 µm.

IRtec Rayomatic 60

IRtec Rayomatic 100

IRtec Rayomatic 100 thermometers represent the new frontier in non-contact temperature measurement. Eurotron
applied the most recent development in IR sensor technology and, based on an extensive application experience,
has designed the new line of PC reconfigurable and programmable IR thermometers.
The 2-colors principle measurement is performed at the same time by two indipendent detectors with different but
adjacent narrow band IR filters. By rationing the output of these 2 sensors, the temperature measurement becomes
indipendent from a number of factors that can affect the desired accuracy.
An internal modem allows using the same two wires 4/20mA current loop for smart communication. A smart/RS232
adapter is available for PC bi-directional communication. You can read the temperature measurement, set all
parameters (temperature range, averaging, peak-picking, alarms, emissivity, etc.).

3 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

3.1 Modular systems

IRtec radiation thermometers uses a modular structure and component interchangeability to ensure an instrument to
be exactly suited for each particular application. The modular construction allows an easy add and substitution of any
option directly on the field. It also simplifies field troubleshooting, repair and calibration.
Different lenses, filters, IR sensors, electronic module, target sighting systems and accessories provide over 100
possible standard instruments to exactly fulfil your application requirement.

3.2 Basic elements

3.2.1 Monochromatic thermometers

IRtec radiation thermometers contains the following basic elements: optical system, detector, and signal-processing
electronic. The general features of these elements are first examined in the following sections.

3.2.2 Two-Color thermometers

The functioning system is the following.
The visual cone is determined by the optical head, using the achromatic lens and the fiber, that act as limiting range
(f.i. 20mm@1000mm). The fiber collect the energy and carry it in an optical device that divide the signal with a proper
mirror, filter it on 2 bands (0.88µm; 0.98µm) and focalize it on 2 sensors.
The infrared radiation received form the sensor is converted in electric signal that is not linear function of the
temperature of the target. The electric signal is treated from an electronic circuit inside the microprocessor that
generate an output signal in linear current 4-20mA.

3.2.3 Optical system

The detector is positioned at a focus distance of a high quality lens. The lens forms an image of the source in the
plane of the detector. The size of the cone of radiation accepted from an axial point of the target and, the irradiance
at the detector, is determined by the clear aperture of the lens, while the active area of the detector determines the
field of view. The lens and detector then act as the aperture and field stop of the system respectively.

3.2.4 Detectors
Thermopile
A thermopile contain a large number of thermocouples in a very small area. The thermocouples are connected
together and the output is the difference between the ambient temperature (cold junction) and the temperature
collected by the optical system (hot junction).
Inspite of large number of thermocouples, the signal output is very small: few µV/°C. The response time of the
detector is very long because the detector must be warming up (or cooled) by the collected energy.
The waveband is determined by an additional optical filter chose by Eurotron for the specific application. This solution
permits to reduce disturbs due by atmosphere absorption and to maximise the output signal.

Photodiode
Both Silicium and InGaAs photodiode principle is completely different from thermopile: the collected energy is
transformed in a electron flow. The result is a current proportional with the incident energy.
This transformation is very fast (only few µS). This time the response time of the measuring system is limited by
electronics: high resolution and low energy consumption, make it a little bit slower.
The waveband is determined by the physical characteristic of the sensor.

23
 Instruction Manual MM850341 ed.06f

Ratio detectors
Special IR applications could not be solved using the standard monochromatic thermometers. A ratio detector could
be the solution.
Typical problems which will cause an incorrect reading include:
• small objects e.g. to small to fill the target area
• smoke, dust or steam which obscure the line of sight
• dirty windows in the process
• emissivity of the product changes (due to changes in alloy or surface condition).

A ratio detector is a single chip twin detector with different working wavelengths. The ratio of the two simultaneous
measurements is independent from emissivity and the result is the correct target temperature.
Every ratio thermometer has a limit as to how much signal can be lost. This is referred as the reduction ratio that can
vary up to 90% without effecting the measurement accuracy. To be also kept in consideration that the loss in signal
can come from 3 sources:
• low emissivity of the target
• object too small to fill the cone of vision
• obstruction caused by steam, smoke, dirt and dirty windows

In all the above condition a ratio thermometer will operate with better accuracy than any monochromatic
thermometer. The IRtec “Rayomatic” thermometers was designed to operate with spectral bands with limited
temperature coefficient.

3.2.5 Input stage

Is the most important part of the thermometer. It should be able to interface the detector to the micro-controller. IRtec
Rayomatic series uses different kind of detectors (thermopile, photodiode, and ratio detectors) with different operating
specifications.
• Thermopile models needs electronics with high impedance input and very low drift.
• Photodiode models needs fast electronics.
• Ratio models needs electronics able to drive a double detector.
For the best modularity of the measuring system, Eurotron has developed special configurable electronics to meet all
requirements.

3.2.6 Microcontroller
Microcontroller has to manage all thermometer functionality. It should be fast, with low absorption, with integrate
memory, serial interface, etc.
Eurotron’s IRtec Rayomatic use a RISC processor with internal re-writable FLASH memory.

3.2.7 Serial communication

This module is included in IRtec Rayomatic 40/60 only. This module consist of a special modem to implement serial
communication on the thermometer.
The smart IRtec Rayomatic line uses a digital communication method superimposed on the 2 wire 4-20 mA loop to
communicate with PC, lap-top and/or handheld communicators.
The communication capability also means that a PC can be used both for remote calibration and transmitter operative
mode configuration.
The digital protocol operates using the frequency shift keying (FSK) principle, which is based on the Bell 202
communication standard where sine waves are superimposed on the dc analog signal to gives simultaneous analog
and digital communication
Temperature unit, peak hold, emissivity, average can be programmed through the digital port using either a PC or a
dedicated communicator.

3.2.8 Output stage

This module is based by a D/A converter to transform the temperature measurements from the microcontroller digital
format to the current signal. The signal output from the thermometer is a 4/20 mA on 2-wire current loop linear with
the temperature range.

24
 Instruction Manual MM850341 ed.06f

3.2.9 Temperature compensation

All IR detector are ambient temperature sensible. Detectors measure the difference between detector and target
energy. To obtain the correct value of target temperature, it is necessary to measure the detector temperature and
add it to the detector measurement. A Pt100 is mounted on the detector and microcontroller reads the temperature
and makes the computation.

3.2.10 Power supply

A power supply stage is built-in the thermometer for adapting the current loop supply (from 12 to 32 Vdc) to all digital
and analogue circuits.

3.2.11 Laser pinpointing

IRtec Rayomatic 20/40/60 thermometers can be optionally equipped with a laser pinpointing system to simplify
alignement operation.
When target has small and critical dimensions the laser aiming system can be activated by operator to check and
adjust appropriate alignment of thermometer.
A separate (12-32 Vdc max. 100mA and 12Vdc±2Vdc for the green laser) power supply input allows operator to use it
only when necessary.

NOTE: THE WORKING TEMPERATURE FOR THE GREEN LASER IS FROM +20°C TO +30°C

WARNING
USE A SEPARATE POWER SUPPLY OF 12VDC±2VDC 100M A ONLY WHEN USING THE GREEN LASER

25
 Instruction Manual MM850341 ed.06f

4 SIGNAL PROCESSING
When a radiation thermometer is employed in an on-line system, its signal may be subjected to large fluctuations.
Time function facilities are useful to retain the signal levels that are more likely to represent the true target
temperature.
Eurotron IR thermometers can be factory pre-set with one of the signal processing facilities: averaging, Track & Hold,
Peak, Valley, Peak-Picking, Valley-Picking, etc.

IRtec Rayomatic 40/60/100 functions can be programmed from user by using a Personal Computer, a
Bell202/RS232 adapter and a configuration software.

IRtec Rayomatic 20 can be programmed by factory only.

4.1 Average
Rapid temperature fluctuations about a true mean value can make the thermometer output unsuitable for recording
and control. In these cases, the average function can be used to provide a smoothed signal. The output signal Avu is
given by:

Avu =Avp + (M – Avp) * 2 ∆T / D

where:
M = Actual temperature
Avu = Output average
Avp = Previous average
∆T = sampling time = 20ms
D = Average time (sec) (programmable)

4.2 Peak
The Peak function holds a maximum temperature and retain its until a higher value appear or an external reset signal
appear to decay the output to the current temperature measurement.

4.3 Valley
The Valley function holds the minimum temperature and retain its until a lower value appear or an external reset
signal appear to increase the output to the current temperature measurement.

26
 Instruction Manual MM850341 ed.06f

4.4 Peak-Picker
The peak-picker function holds a peak signal and allows it to decay slowly until the arrival of the next peak. It is used
in such applications as rolling mills where the signal is occasionally lowered by steam, smoke, water droplets, metal
scale, etc. When Peak-Picker function is programmed, the 4/20 mA output will follows the mathematical expression
below:

U = Peak – (PickDec * 2 ∆T)

U = output signal
Peak = peak signal
PickDec = Decay rate °C/sec (programmable)

4.4.1 Peak-Picker with reset

When the Peak-Picker with reset function is selected, the external reset input is used to force the signal output to the
current temperature measurement.

4.4.2 Peak-Picker delayed

When the Peak-Picker delayed function is selected, you have to set the following parameters:
PickDec = Decay rate
Threshold = Temperature threshold level
StartPeak = delay for starting peak-picking
EndPeak = delay for ending peak-picking
Delayed Mode 2 = when selected, enable mode 2 output sustain

27
 Instruction Manual MM850341 ed.06f

When the signal exceed the programmed trigger level (Threshold), the thermometer will wait the “StartPeak” delay
before starting with the standard Peak-Picker function. When the input signal will decrease below the trigger level
(Threshold), the thermometer will wait the “EndPeak” delay before reset the output signal.
The output signal will be reduced to low scale if Mode 1 is selected or to the last calculated value if Mode 2 is
selected.

4.6 Track and Hold

The track (sample) and Hold function allows smoothed signals to be obtained from intermittent events. These may
originate from objects on a conveyor belt or targets where the view is periodically obscured by rotating machinery.
The output sampling is activated by a command signal received by an external switch that can be actuated by the
belt or rotating machinery itself. The output is held when the switch is operated until the next command is received.

• Adjust the “E-Slope” (non-gray) function until the measured temperature correspond to the real target
temperature.

6.1 Important notes

ATTENTION
ARE TO BE AVOID BACKSCATTERING, SUNLIGHT OR OTHER LIGHTING FONTS. TO CHECK THIS CONDITIONS: POINT THE
INSTRUMENT, LOWER THE TEMPERATURE OF THE PROCESS UNDER 600°C: DISTURB RADIATIONS ARE PRESENT ONLY IF THE
INSTRUMENT READ OVER 600°C. POINTING ON SUNLIGHT YOU CAN READ ALSO 400°C BUT THIS IS FOR THE SPECTRUM
COMPONENTS OF PLANK EMISSION AT 600°C. A CLOSED MEASURING AREA WILL BE THE BEST SOLUTION.

IMPORTANT
DO NOT PULL OUT THE ELECTRONIC BOARD FROM THE CYLINDER. IT COULD BE DIFFICULT TO REASSEMBLE THE THERMOMETER.

6.2.2 Laser Pinpointing systems

IRtec Rayomatic 20/40 thermometers can be optionally ordered complete of an integrated laser pinpointing system.
The advantages of an integrate laser system with an independent power supply are:
• More accuracy in target aiming
• More stability with vibration
• Aiming system always available for maintenance
• Remote laser switching on/off

NOTE: Laser pinpointing is NOT available on Ratio thermometers

Remove the flange on the back of the instrument to access to the power supply terminals.
Connect the power supply (12…32 Vdc max. 100mA) to the instrument. Before switch the laser on verify the correct
polarity.

6.3 Alarms
IRtec Rayomatic 40 thermometers only, have two programmable alarms (Low and High) with hysteresis.
• System alarm: always enabled with output directed to the hardware alarm output. The thermometer activate the
output when the detector temperature is out of the operative range (e.g. When the water cooling system is
malfunctioning). It is factory set and you cannot disable it.
• Low alarm: you can set the minimum temperature of your process. When the temperature goes below the
programmed value, the alarm output became active.

36
 Instruction Manual MM850341 ed.06f

• High alarm: you can set the maximum temperature of your process. When the temperature goes above the
programmed value, the alarm output became active.
• Hysteresis: you can program the hysteresis band for re-entry from the alarm status.
• Alarm Output: Two output modes are available. When alarms are programmed, the instrument uses the current
loop output to signal the alarm status; the high alarm status change the current loop to 21 mA, the low alarm
status change the output to 3.75 mA. You can also enable an hardware output line (20 mA sink current) to drive
an external relais.
• Alarm mode: if the external alarm output is selected, you can choose between normally high or normally low
output.
• Alarm reset: you can enable the reset input to reset (quit) the alarm status.

NOTE:
• All alarm set point are referred to the effective measured temperature.
• The alarm output and reset input terminals are available on model IRtec Rayomatic 40 only.
• Anyway, the alarm output is ever enabled to signal the system alarm event.

6.4 Emissivity adjustment

IRtec Rayomatic 20/60 has two rotative switches to set the emissivity of your target. You can change it in the range
from 0.30 to 1.00.
• Remove the rubber plug on the rear of the instrument.
• Use a small, plastic screw driver to set the emissivity to the correct value. Thermometer uses the “00” value to
set the emissivity to 1.00. Values lower than “30” are considered by the thermometer equal to 0.30.

IRtec Rayomatic 40 emissivity can be changed only by using a PC connected to the current loop.

IRtec Rayomatic 100 E-Slope can be changed only by using a PC connected to the current loop.

6.5 Positioning
The thermometer has to be installed in an accessible place for any further maintenance operation, and it hasn't to be
exposed to excessive heat, smoke and steam.
The optical path between the lens and the target, should be as much free as possible from smoke and steam.
The pointing axis should be placed with a 90° angle against the target surface; an angle smaller than 45° could be
acceptable for most materials.

NOTE: A LARGE NUMBER OF MATERIALS HAVE THE EMISSIVITY COEFFICIENT DEPENDENT ON THE VIEWING ANGLE. LARGE
ANGLES (MORE THAN 45°) CAN INDUCE A LARGE ERROR IN MEASUREMENT.

Before the installation, it iss useful to look at the tables supplied together with the instrument, in order to determine
the correct distance and visual field.

NOTE: USING THE MONOCHROMATIC THERMOMETERS THE TARGET AREA HAVE TO BE LARGER THAN THE CALCULATED
MEASURING AREA.

6.6 Mounting and Alignment

38
 Instruction Manual MM850341 ed.06f

The Raryomatic IR beam profile is a cone described by the optical charts. The IR monochromatic thermometer must
be installed so that the target is bigger than circle described by optics and the optical path is free from obstruction
(steam, dust, etc.).
Install the mounting plate in a suitable place in the most favourable position from a thermal, and mechanical point of
view. Mount on the plate, if it is necessary, the cooling device and/or the purge air ejector. If a cooling jacket has to
be used, use the water outlet on the upper part of the support in order not to create air bubbles in the jacket.

WARNING
IT ADVISABLE TO USE A PROTECTIVE SCREEN DURING THE THERMOMETER ALIGNMENT OPERATIONS IF THE TARGET HAS A STRONG
RADIATION.

In order to align the support with the target, look through the support hole (without the thermometer) and find the best
position. It's important for the optic path to be free from any obstacle. In particular, when the surface is targeted
through a hole, the hole diameter has to be big enough according to the distance from the instrument. If optional laser
pinpointing system is installed, switch it on for spot centre viewing.

39
 Instruction Manual MM850341 ed.06f

7 MAINTENANCE
Each IRtec Rayomatic is factory calibrated and certified against Eurotron Standards and shipped with a Report of
calibration stating the nominal and actual values and the deviation error. The instrument calibration has to be
periodically verified. IRtec uses a sophisticated analog and digital technology. All the maintenance operations must
be carried on by qualified personnel. Eurotron supplies instructions and operative modalities for any maintenance
operation. Please contact Eurotron for any support.

For a correct working of the instrument, the optic system must be kept clean and it mustn't reach temperatures higher
than the specified ones. The maintenance department should ensure these working conditions with a periodical
check of the cooling system and cleaning the lens.

7.1 Rayomatic 100 fiber optic

IRtec Rayomatic 100 allow to change the fiber optic without the instrument calibration.

IMPORTANT
REMOVE THE CENTRAL SCREW (SEE FIGURE BELOW) BEFORE TO REMOVE THE FIBER OPTIC FROM THE ELECTRONIC MODULE.

WARNING
DO NOT CURVE THE FIBER OPTIC WITH RADIUS SMALLER THAN 200 MM !
SMALLER RADIUS CAN CAUSE A BREAKING OF THE FIBER.

7.2 Rayomatic 60 fiber optic

IRtec Rayomatic 60 allow to change the fiber optic without the instrument calibration.

IMPORTANT
IRTEC RAYOMATIC 60 OPTICAL FIBER ASSEMBLY
IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULTS, BEFORE SCREWING THE OPTICAL FIBER TO THE MAIN INSTRUMENT, SWITCH ON THE
LASER PINPOINTING SYSTEM AND PROPERLY TURN THE FIBER WITH THE AIM OF OBTAINING THE MAXIMUM BEAM INTENSITY EXITING
FROM THE OPTICAL HEAD.

WARNING
DO NOT CURVE THE FIBER OPTIC WITH RADIUS SMALLER THAN 200 MM !
SMALLER RADIUS CAN CAUSE A BREAKING OF THE FIBER.

7.3 Purge Air Supply

The air filters cleanliness must be checked at regular intervals.
Our suggestion is to check it every day, then, according to your experience, find a correct time interval.
If the optic system reaches temperatures higher than the working one, it has to be recalibrate in Eurotron
laboratories.

40
 Instruction Manual MM850341 ed.06f

The purge air device is to be accurately checked, as the diffuser may become obstructed by non-clean air. When this
happens, the air flow from the diffuser is not uniform, and dust particles appear on the lens.
In this case, the diffuser should be drowned in a detergent solution and blown with compressed air, then dried. A
good air filtering can solve this problems.

7.4 Water Supply

Verify the water flow according to your experience: daily first, and then when the system is running well, weekly.
Check the thermometer temperature: it has to be high enough to prevent any condense formation. Once the water
continuity is defined, it's enough to verify the support temperature, that has to be slightly warm.
If the thermometer reaches too high temperatures, due to water absence or to a flow partial interruption, it has to be
verified and calibrated by Eurotron.

7.5 Optic cleaning

Remove the connection wires from the terminal board.
Remove the thermometer from its support. Verify the cleanliness of the internal part of the cylinder removing any dirt
particles or oil.
If necessary, clean the lens with a very soft cloth and then reinstall the thermometer.
Verify the alignment and reconnect everything.

Use an air purge system to keep the lens clean.

7.6 Mounting Device

Verify at regular intervals that these devices are in good conditions and that no damage has occurred.

7.7 Interconnection Cable

Verify at regular intervals that it is in good conditions and that no damage has occurred. Verify also the good
connections with the indicator or the acquisition system.

7.8 Storage
Store the instrument in the original package, at temperature from –30°C to +70°C (from +10 to +70°C for thermopile
sensors) with non condensing R.H. less than 90%.

jacket. Use clean water in order to create no obstruction and cold enough to ease the thermometer working.

44
 Instruction Manual MM850341 ed.06f

Water cooling jacket cod. EE290075

IMPORTANT

DO NOT USE TOO COOL WATER AS IT COULD CREATE CONDENSE ON THE SUPPORT OR ON THE LENS.
IT IS ADVISABLE TO HAVE A LOW WATER FLOW TO KEEP THE TEMPERATURE OF THE SUPPORT HIGHER THAN THE DEW-POINT OF A
HOT AND HUMID DAY.
THE FLOW SHOULD NOT BE HIGHER THAN 0.7 BAR AND THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE LOWER THAN 200°C.

The cooling water line has to be made using the following precautions:
ƒ The outlet of the cooling jacket must be kept free in order to control the flow and water temperature;
ƒ It's useful to use a thermometer to control the water temperature.

NOTE: IN CLOSE CIRCUIT SYSTEMS, ALWAYS USE A FLOW WATER WITH A LOW LEVEL ALARM.

Before the installation, it is useful to look at the tables supplied together with the instrument, in order to determine the
correct distance and visual field.

8.3 Advice
It's important to use very clean air to prevent dirt from depositing on the main lens. Every particle in the air could
obstruct part of the diffuser, and modify the aerodynamic characteristics in the air flux. So, the flux would be modified,
and dirt air could reach the lens. The air system must be periodically checked. To add a filtering system is strongly
recommended.

Eurotron can supply an air filtering system (cod. EE290015) to be used on the already present air network. This
system needs dry and clean air at a pressure up to 10 bar. If a compressed air network isn't available, a fan
generating system can be used.

According to the application, it could be necessary to cool the thermometer using an air flow. The maximum pressure
for an air purge system is 0.7 bar. Just for a normal air purge, only the tenth part of this flow is required.

55
 Instruction Manual MM850341 ed.06f

Remember that the air tube must have a diameter bigger enough not to have flow losses.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

WHEN A PURGE AIR IS USED, IT MUST BE CLEAN AND DRY. THE DIFFUSOR PRODUCES A LAMINAR FLOW THAT KEEPS THE LENS
CLEAN. IF THE AIR ISN'T PERFECTLY CLEAN, TRACKS OF OIL AND DIRT MAY DEPOSIT ON THE LENS.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

WHEN MEASURING TEMPERATURES INSIDE OVENS, DO NOT USE ANY AIR COMING FROM THE FAN OF THE OVEN. THE AIR FROM THE
OVEN, IN FACT, MAY VARY, AND THE PRESSURE ON THE THERMOMETER MAY BE NOT SUFFICIENT TO GRANT ITS CLEANING AND
COOLING.

8.4 Air treatment equipment

The reduction and air filtering group (code EE290015) is composed by a modular system including:
• An interception valve (1/8")
• A pressure reducer with a filtering element
• An anti-oil filter
• A pressure gauge (0 ÷ 10 bar)

Two different air flow controllers are available:

1) For low flows: when only the purge air is required.
2) For high flows: when an air cooling system is required instead of a water one.

We suggest to minimise the distance between the controller group and the thermometer:

9 SERIAL COMMUNICATION
IRtec Rayomatic 40 is a programmable infrared thermometer using the same current loop wires to transmit and
receive digital informations from a Personal Computer. To do this, Eurotron has included inside the unit, a modem
with Bell202 communication protocol.

9.1 Smart/RS232 adapter

For connecting a PC to the IRtec Rayomatic 40/100, it is necessary to use the optional SMART/RS232 adapter (cat.
BB530200). The SMART/RS232 adapter could be used for the following operations:
• Powering and Programming the unit (fig. 1). Switch to LAB Setup position.
• Programming the unit connected to an acquisition loop (fig. 2, 3 and 4). You can have different hardware
configurations depending on the indicator internal resistance. Switch to PROCESS Setup position.
• Powering the laser pinpointing (fig.5). You have to switch to 24Vdc Supply position.

Two WindowsTM 98/2000/NT/XP compatible software packages are available to set the unit and for data acquisition.

A2 How to determine an object emissivity

Emissivity is the measure of an object ability to absorb, transmit, and emit infrared energy. It can have a value from 0
(shiny mirror) to 1.0 (blackbody). If a value of emissivity higher than the actual one is set, the output will read low,
provided that the target temperature is above the ambient one. For example, if 0.95 is set in and the actual emissivity
is 0.9, the reading will be lower than the true temperature when the target temperature is above the ambient one.

The emissivity can be determined by one of the following methods, in order of preference:

1. Determine the actual temperature of the material using a sensor such as a RTD, thermocouple or another
suitable method. Next, measure the object temperature and adjust the emissivity setting until the correct value
is reached. This is the correct emissivity for the measured material.

2. For relatively low temperature objects (up to 260°C or 500°F, place a piece of tape, such as a masking, on the
object. Make sure the tape is large enough to cover the field of view. Next, measure the tape temperature
using an emissivity setting of 0.95. Finally, measure an adjacent area on the object and adjust the emissivity
setting until the same temperature is reached. This is the correct emissivity for the measured material.

3. If a portion of the surface of the object can be coated, use a flat black paint, which will have an emissivity of
about 0.98. Next, measure the painted area using an emissivity setting of 0.98. Finally, measure an adjacent
area on the object and adjust the emissivity setting until the same temperature is reached. This is the correct
emissivity for the measured material.

A2.1 Typical Emissivity Values

The following table provides a brief reference guide to determine emissivity and can be used when one of the above
methods is not practical. Emissivity values shown in the table below are only approximate, since several parameters
may effect the emissivity of an object. These include the following ones:

1. Temperature
2. Angle of measurement
3. Geometry (plane, concave, convex, etc.)
4. Thickness
5. Surface quality (polished, rough, oxidized, sandblasted)
6. Spectral region of measurement
7. Transmissivity (i.e., thin film plastics)

To optimize surface temperature measurements consider the following guidelines:

1. Determine the object emissivity using the instrument to be used for the measurement.
2. Avoid reflections by shielding the object from surrounding high temperature sources.
3. For Higher temperature objects use shorter wavelength instruments, whenever any overlap occurs.
4. For semi-transparent materials such as plastic films and glasses, assure that the background is uniform and lower in temperature than the
object.
5. Mount the sensor perpendicular to the surface whenever the emissivity is less than 0.9. In any case, do not exceed angles more than 30
degrees from incidence.
