1.2Safety

This manual provides important information on safely installing and operating the

pyrometer. Several sections of this manual provide safety warnings to avert danger. These safety warnings are specified with a warning symbol. You must read and understand the contents of this manual before operating the instrument even if you have used similar instruments or have already been trained by the manufacturer.

It is also important to continually pay attention to all labels and markings on the instrument and to keep the labels and markings in a permanent readable condition.

Warning: The pyrometer is only to be used as described in this manual. It is recommended that you only use accessories provided by the manufacturer.

In addition, signs and markings on the device are to be observed and maintained in a legible condition.

1.2.1Laser targeting light

For easy alignment to the measuring object, the pyrometers can be equipped with a laser targeting light. This is a visible red light with a wavelength between 630 and 680 nm and a maximum power of 1 mW. The laser is classified as product of laser class II.

IS 12 AI & IS 12-AI/S

General 5

Warning: To reduce the risk of injury to the eyes, do not look directly into the targeting laser and do not point the targeting laser into anyone's eyes. The instrument is equipped with a class II laser that emits radiation.

Never look directly into the laser beam. The beam and spot can be watched safely from side.

Make sure that the beam will not be reflected into eyes of people by mirrors or shiny surfaces.

1.2.2Electrical connection

Follow common safety regulations for main voltage (230 or 115 V AC) when connecting additional devices. Touching the main voltage can be fatal. An incorrect connection and/or mounting can cause serious health or material damages.

Only qualified specialists are allowed to connect such devices to the mains voltage.

Nevertheless, there is always a possibility that a Windows or PC configuration or some other unforeseen condition exists that would cause the software not to run smoothly. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility or liability and will not guarantee the performance of the software. Liability regarding any direct or indirect damage caused by this software is excluded.

The warranty is VOID if the instrument is disassembled, tampered with, altered, or otherwise damaged without prior written consent from LumaSense Technologies; or if considered by LumaSense Technologies to be abused or used in abnormal conditions.

There are no user-serviceable components in the instrument:

No adjustments may be made to the targeting laser. It is fixed at the factory.

No adjustments may be made to the targeting laser's power level.

1.4Unpacking the Instrument

Before shipment, each instrument is assembled, calibrated, and tested at the LumaSense Factory. When unpacking and inspecting your system components, you need to do the following:

1. Check all materials in the container against the enclosed packing list.

IS 12 AI & IS 12-AI/S

General 6

LumaSense Technologies cannot be responsible for shortages against the packing list unless a claim is immediately filed with the carrier. Final claim and negotiations with the carrier must be completed by the customer.

2.Carefully unpack and inspect all components for visible damage. If you note any damage or suspect damage, immediately contact the carrier and LumaSense Technologies, Inc.

3.Save all packing materials, including the carrier’s identification codes, until you have inspected all components and find that there is no obvious or hidden damage.

Note: LumaSense encourages you to register your product with us to receive updates, product information, and special service offers: http://www.info.lumasenseinc.com/registration.

2 Introduction

2.1Appropriate use

The IS 12-Al is a special version of the pyrometer IS 12, designed for the measurement of aluminum. The robust die-cast housing with protection class IP65 is designed for the use in industrial environments.

The instruments IS 12-Al/S is equipped with an integrated scanner which moves the measuring beam adjustable up and down up to 4°.

2.1.1Application

The IS 12-Al is a special development of the well proven IS 10-Al for aluminum applications in temperature ranges between 350 and 1050 °C.

Conventional pyrometers – even 2-color pyrometers – are not able to measure the temperature of aluminum correctly due to the special physical properties of aluminum. To avoid the negative influence of these properties in the non-contact temperature measurement the

IS 12-Al operates in a special spectral range. In this spectral range solid aluminum has a very high and stable emissivity between 30 and 43%. That is why the instrument is suitable for aluminum applications such as extrusion, rolling, billet heating and other heating processes.

Note: Due to physical reasons the IS 12-Al is sensitive to light at the beginning of the temperature range. This sensitivity decreases with increasing temperature. In applications with low temperatures (at the start of the temperature range) the measuring area has to be screened against light to avoid its influence (see drawing).

2.6Accessories (Option)

Numerous accessories guarantee easy installation of the pyrometers. The following overview shows a selection of suitable accessories. You can find the entire accessory program with all reference numbers on no. Section 10.2 Reference numbers accessories.

Mounting

For mounting and aligning the pyrometer to the measured object a mounting angle or ball and socket mountings are available. The ball and socket mounting is an easy way to align the pyrometer or water cooling jacket (ball and socket mounting steel) to the measured object. The quick-clamping-screws of the ball and socket mounting enable an easy and fast adjustment of the pyrometer in all directions.

Cooling

The pyrometer can be used in ambient temperatures outside of the specifications if preventive maintenance is taken.

The cooling plate is used to protect the pyrometer from heat coming from the front. The completely covered water cooling jacket made from stainless steel protects the pyrometer if exposed to a hot environment. It is designed for ambient temperatures up to 180 °C.

Miscellaneous

The air purge protects the lens from contamination with dust and moisture. It has to be supplied with dry and oil-free pressurized air and generates an air stream shaped like a cone.

The rotary mirror attachment ROT 10 can only be used in combination with pyrometers with fixed optics. A rotating mirror system moves the measuring beam in a line over the measuring object with a scanning angle up to 73°.

Displays

Additionally to the built-in temperature indicator of the pyrometer LumaSense offers several digital displays which can also be used for remote parametrizing of the pyrometer.
