6.1 Aligning to the measuring object
For exact me
asurement of the object temperature the pyrometer must be aligned correctly onto the object.
The instruments are not equipped with a sighting so that the aligning must be done thermally. When measuring a hot object in front of a cooler background, it usually suffices to align the pyrometer to achieve the
highest temperature reading.
7Parameter descriptions / settings
The pyrometer is equipped with a wide range of settings for optimal adaptation to the required measuring
condition and to measure the temperature correct.
All settings can be read and set only in the pyrometer parameters

the instrument no setting is possible (detailed description of the
software see section 8, So

values and to recall them from the list. Additionally the material entrances can be done in the text file
„mat.txt.“ (provided in the folder „InfraWin“ in the standard "Documents and Settings "path of Windows,
normally C:\ Documents and Settings \ <user name> \ InfraWin).
7.4 Emissivity ε
For a corre
ct measurement it is necessary to adjust the emissivity. This emissivity is the relationship between
the emission of a real object and the emission of a black body radiation source (this is an object which absorbs all incoming rays and has an emissivity of 100%) at the same temperature. Different materials have
different emissivities ranging between 0% and 100% (settings at the pyrometer between 10 and 100%).
Additionally the emissivity is depending on the surface condition of the material, the spectral range of the
pyrometer and the measuring temperature. The emissivity setting of the pyrometer has to be adjusted accordingly. Typical emissivity values of various common materials for the two spectral ranges of the instruments are listed below. The tolerance of the emissivity values for each material is mainly dependent on the
surface conditions. Rough surfaces have higher emissivities.

delete and reset the stored maximum values.
The following settings are possible:
off: At clear time “off“ the max. value storage is switched off and only momentary values are meas-
ured.
0.01...25 s: If any clear time between 0.01 s and 25 s is set, the maximum value is estimated and held in
double storage mode. After the entered time the storage will be deleted.
auto: The “auto” mode is used for discontinuous measuring tasks. For example objects are trans-
ported on a conveyer belt and pass the measuring beam of the pyrometer only for a few seconds. Here the maximum value for each object has to be indicated. In this mode the maximum
value is stored until a new hot object appears in the measuring beam. The temperature which
has to be recognized as “hot“ is defined by the low limit of the adjusted sub range. The stored
maximum value will be deleted when the temperature of the new hot object exceeds the low
limit “from“ of the sub range by 1% or at least 2°C. If a lower limit is not entered, the maximum
value storage will be deleted whenever the lower level of the full measuring range has been exceeded.
Note:
The maximum value storage follows the function of adjustment of exposure time.
This results in: clear time the adjusted response time is useless
clear times must be at least 3 times longer than the response time
only maxima with full maximum value can be recorded, which
appear at least 3 times longer than the response time.

7.9 Subrange (from / to)
You have the opportu
nity to choose a subrange (minimum 51°C) within the basic temperature range of the
pyrometer. This subrange corresponds to the analog output. “from“ describes the beginning of this temperature range, “to“ the end of the range.
Additionally with the setting of a subrange it is possible to fulfill the requirements of the “auto” clear mode of
the maximum value storage (see above).
7.10 Ambient temperature compensation
The com
tures (below 100°C). This compensation is used for a very few special applications only.
The standard setting of this parameter is “auto”, because the temperature of the air
around the pyrometer is normally the ambient temperature of the measured object.
Should the measured object be placed in an area with a higher wall temperature (e.g.
pensation of the ambient temperature can be used at low measuring tempera-

inside a furnace), the measurement might be falsified (probably too high temperature indication). This influence can be compensated by presetting of the ambient temperature of the object (presetting within the
measuring range of the instrument).
After switching over to “man” the corresponding data field T(amb) is activated so that the ambient temperature value can be entered.
It has to be considered, that this method only improves the results if the ambient temperature
at the place of the measured object is always constant and the emissivity is well known.

Before using the software, the serial interface connected to the pyrometer has to be selected under
the Computer icon. For two devices two PC interfaces must be used.
8.6 Number of devices
With a click on “number of devices” InfraWin changes to the display of 1 or 2 devices. If 2 devices
are selected, always 2 windows are displayed for settings or evaluation.
8.7 Basic settings
Under pyrometer parameters all preset values
can be displayed and modified if necessary. A
changed value is entered immediately in the
pyrometer.
The window pyrometer parameters contain all parameter
settings described in 7, Parameter de

values in the white fields on the left and right side of the
color bar, limits for the color change of the color bar can
be set. These limits can also be changed by moving the
small bar with the PC mouse. The color bar displays
temperatures within the two limits in green color, outside
the limits in red color.
In addition, there is an input field for the emissivity in
the window. If the emissivity is changed, the temperature
change connected with this can be read off directly.
Emi: AutoFind: Furthermore there is an input field for the emissivity in the window. If the emissivity is
changed, the temperature change connected with this can be read off directly.
If the true temperature of the measured object is known, you can calculate the emissivity of the measured
object using the "Emi: AutoFind“ function:
A measured temperature (here: 224°C) is
displayed with the current set emissivity (in
this example 100%).
If you press „Emi: Autofind “ a window will
open which allows you to enter the "true" temperature.
Once the temperature entry has been entered and confirmed
with "OK", InfraWin will then calculate the emissivity which occurs with the new temperature. This is displayed immediately and can be used for further temperature
measurement.

between 75 and 550°C. The final
temperature (at the end of the reading) is 244.3°C.
With “Mark zone“ a temperature
range can color marked for easier recognition.
Setting a temperature under “Threshold“ prevents the recording of values above or below this tempera-

Note:
are automatically saved as “standard.i12”. Should you need to edit the data later,
you need to save the file as another .i12-file because old values are over-written
when a new measurement is taken.
Files from older program versions (.i10-files) can be opened and saved as .i12.
8.10 Listing (analyzing)
For analyzing the measured values
in this field all measured data appears in a numeric list.
The date beside the time gives more exactly
values to see what happened on time units
smaller 1 s. The value specifies the time in
seconds after midnight (0:00 h). The amount
of data depends on the frequency that readings were taken (settings at 8.13 Time inter-
l between two measurements). As the
va
amount of data increases, so does the
amount of storage space required to save it.
In order to save room, all .i12 data files are
stored by a binary code.

IMPAC Infrared sensor IN 2000
8.11 Trend output (analyzing)
The graph’s curve depicts the
temperature change over time
within the specified temperature
range.
Additionally, other information appears in
this window; such as recorded time (x-axis)
and temperature in degrees (y-axis) as well
as the time and temperature at the vertical
cursor line which can be dragged with the
mouse.
Selecting the Trend output initially causes
all the saved data to be displayed.
If the data exceeds an amount that can be
represented reasonably, you may “Zoom“ in
on a partial segment using the mouse (such
as the segment represented in the example).
Under “Total” you can return to the representation of the entire curve.
The last reading is saved in the standard.i12 file and automatically appears in this

If file open was loaded using another file, the previous file will be overwritten and replaced by the standard.i12 file.
8.12 Output .TXT file (analyzing)
The same file as under „Output listing” may be converted into a text file and can be easily opened,
for example with EXCEL. With the standard import settings EXCEL automatically formats the columns accordingly (tabulator as separators).
8.13 PC sampling rate (time interval bet
This function sets a time interval. After each interval one measured value is stored on the PC. The bigger the time interval the
smaller will be the stored file. This function is mainly used for
long term measurements.

11Trouble shooting
Before sending the pyrometer for repair, try to find the error and to solve the problem with the help of the
following list.
Temperature indication too low
Incorrect alignment of the pyrometer to the object
New correct alignment to achieve the max. temperature signal (see 6.1)
Measuring object smaller than spot size
Check measuring distance, smallest spot size is at nominal measuring distance (see 6)
Measuring object is not always in the measuring spot of the pyrometer
Use max. value storage (see 7.7).
Emissivity set too high
Set lower correct emissivity corresponding to the material (see 7.4)
Len
s contaminated
Clean lens carefully (see 10.2)
Tempera
Emissivity set too low
Measuring errors
Indicated temperature is decreasing during the use of the pyrometer, contamination of the lens
HF-interferences
ture indication too high
Set lower correct emissivity corresponding to the material (see 7.4)
The measurement is influenced by reflections of hot machine parts
Use mechanical construction to avoid the influence of the interfering radiation
Clean lens. Recommendation: use of air purge (see 5)
Air contamination in the sighting path between pyrometer and object
Change position of the pyrometer with a clean sighting path (if necessary use a ratio pyrometer)
Correct the connection of the cable shield (see 4)
Temperature Indication is fluctuating, probably caused by changing emissivity
Wrong pyrometer type, use of ratio pyrometer recommended

IMPAC Infrared sensor IN 2000
12Data format UPP (Universal Pyrometer Protocol)
Via interface and suitable communication software or via “Test” function of the InfraWin software (see 8, Basic settings Test) commands can be exchanged directly with the pyrometer.
The data exchange occurs in ASCII format with the following transmission parameters:
The data format is: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, even parity (8,1,e)
The device responds to the entry of a command with: output (e.g. the measuring value) + CR (Carriage Return, ASCII 13), to pure entry commands with “ok” + CR.
Every command starts with the 2-digit device address AA (e.g. “00”).
letters (e.g. “em” for level of emissivity
), finished with CR
This is followed, if necessary for that command, by the ASCII parameter “X”. If this parameter “X” is omitted,
then the device resets with the current parameter.
A “?“ after the small command letters answers with the respective settings (only at setting commands, not at
enquiry commands).
Example: Entry: “00em“ + CRThe emissivity setting (ε) of the device with the address 00 is returned
Answer: “0970“ + CR means Emissivity = 0.97 or 97.0%
