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 a 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.

3PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
3.1Emissivity adjustment
The IR thermometers incorporate, on the electronic module, a potentiometer to adjust the thermometer to the target
emissivity value.
3.2Response time adjustment
The IR thermometers incorporate, on the electronic module, a potentiometer to adjust their response time (from
50/100ms to 10s). This is a feature able to permit the measurement also in unstable measuring condition (e.g. flames,
moving target, etc.)
3.3OS8000 principle
The optical system of
filter and a field stop that defines the visual cone and therefore the dimensions of the target.
A filter is placed between the optic system and the infrared radiation sensor, to determine the working spectral band and
to eliminate any radiation effect in the visible band.
In order to obtain a correct alignment of the thermometer, sighting devices or laser pointers are available. When the
alignment is achieved the sighting telescope or laser pointer can be removed.
The infrared radiation is converted, by the sensor, into an electric signal with a non-linear dependence on the target
temperature. The electrical signal is linearized and amplified by the internal circuitry that makes available a 4/20 mA
linear output.

transmitters collects the infrared energy into the infrared detector through a single lens, a
3.3.1Electronic module
The components used in the electronic circuits allow to use the optic head in environments with an ambient temperature
up to +60 °C.
The 4/20 mA linear with temperature circuit incorporates the emissivity and response time adjustment. It requires a
24Vdc power supply and can be used together with the any other measurement/regulation system.
Fig. 3.3.1: Connectors and controls of OS8000
3.4OS6000 principle
The infrared radiation emitted by the target is focused by the optic system, with a collector that has a sensitivity covering
the spectral band required.
The optic system geometry, combined with a field stop, determines with accuracy the dimension of the target and the
distance between the thermometer and the target.
A filter is placed, between the optic system and the infrared radiation sensor, to determine the working spectral band and
to eliminate any radiation effect from the visible band.
The infrared radiation is converted into an electric signal proportional to the target temperature in a non-linear mode.
The electric signal is treated by the internal circuitry that makes an output from 4 to 20 mA signal available.

5.1.2Mounting and Alignment
Install the mounting plate in a suitable place in the most favorable position from a thermal, and mechanical point of view.
Mount on the plate, if it is necessary, the protection device and 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.

5.1.4Pointing systems
A removable telescope is optionally available for an accurate alignment of the thermometer. It is particularly useful when
little objects are to be targeted.
The telescope has to be inserted in the thermometer, and removed when the alignment has been done.
In order to insert the telescope, the protection cap must be removed.
The focusing of the target must be carried-out varying the telescope introduction inside the thermometer body. This
operation can be also carried-out by using the laser pointing system.
5.1.5Air supply
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.
Remember that the air tube must have a diameter bigger enough not to have flow losses.

5.2.2Optic Head Mounting and Alignment
Fix the optic head on the suitable support using the supplied hexagonal washers. Place the support in the best possible
position from a thermal point of view (the maximum ambient temperature is 200 °C), from a mechanical point of view
(minimum to no vibration) and environmental one (dust, smoke, vapors, and so on).
Align the support with the surface to be measured, center the target by looking through the optic head after the optic fiber
has been removed. In order to make the pointing operations easier, it's possible to have a pointing device that aligns the
head using a luminous track. 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.
5.2.3Air Supply
In the applications where a purge air is needed to clean the optic system, adjust the flow at 0.5 bar. If a cooling effect is
required, embance the flow up to 10 bar. The supply tubing system has to be designed with a correct diameter in the
thermometer proximity, in order not to have charge losses.

5.2.4Optic Fiber Connection
The connection between the optic head and the electronic unit is made with an optic fiber cable. The cable is supplied
with two special connectors to connect the two components.
Before the installation, be sure that the connectors are perfectly clean. The cable should be installed protected by a tube
and without too sharp bends. Firmly screw the female connector to the optic head, and the male one on the electronic
unit.
5.2.5Electronic module mounting
The electronic equipment must be installed far from heat sources, basing the distance upon the length of the optic fiber.
The electronics can be fixed using the 1/4" hole or with the OS6000-16 support. (See the figure below).

6.2Water 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

If necessary, clean the lens with a very soft cloth and then reinstall the thermometer.
Verify the alignment by inserting the pointing telescope in its slot. Remove the telescope, close its slot with the
appropriate cap, and reconnect everything.
Now you can remove the telescope pointing, close the remaining hole in the thermometer using the dedicated plug and
remount the electrical connector.

First of all you should remove the optic head from the positioning support. Verify the lens state. If it isn’t perfectly clean,
remove the lens from the head unscrewing from the front side the screw and the O-ring.
Use a clean, soft and dry cloth or use a non abrasive detergent solution.
Remount all the components on the optical head.

Verify the cleanliness of the internal part of the cylinder removing any dirt particles or oil .
Examine the purge air device as the diffuser may become obstructed, creating problems of dirt on the lens.
A good filtering system prevents this problem. Anyway, when this condition occurs, the diffuser has to be immersed in a
detergent solution for a few minutes and then blown dry with compressed air.

7SUPPORT AND ACCESSORIES
This chapter describes available accessories that can be supplied with the measuring systems.
7.1Air Purge
To eliminate fumes or vapors from the front of the optic head, and to keep the lens clean, an air flux is used. This air flux
can also be used to cool, when necessary. 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.

clean air at a pressure up to 10 bar. If a compressed air network isn't available, a fan generating system can be used.
7.1.1OS8000 air purge and water cooling devices
The purge air devices have been designed to be coupled with the protection support in order to maintain the lens clean.
The air flow eases the dispersion of fumes and vapors in the area beside the targeted object. An exhaust outlet is
provided to prevent the vapor condense when the pointing tube is porous material made.
OS8000 works with ambient temperature up to 60°C. Some times the ambient conditions are different. When extreme
ambient conditions occur, it is possible to use a flanged water jacket with air purge (code OS8000-11). This accessory
allows to use the OS8000 thermometers with ambient temperature up to 200°C.
can supply an air filtering system to be used on the already present air network. This system needs dry and

7.1.2OS6000 Purge Air Device
These devices are used to keep the thermometer lens clean. The air flow allows the air dispersion in the area
immediately opposite to the target and it cools the optic head. To make the maintenance and installation fast and easy,
the unit is composed by an optics support flange and an ejector body. On the flange the optics in mounted and fixed with
two hexagonal washers. The ejector body can be supplied with a 1” ½ stainless steel pointing tube, with a length from
250 mm to 500 mm.

A1How 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.
A1.1Typical 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:
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.
