The size of the measuring object and the optical resolution of the infrared thermometer determine the maximum distance between sensing head and measuring object. In order to prevent measuring errors the object should fill out the field of view of the optics completely. Consequently, the spot should at all times have at least the same size like the object or should be smaller than that.
2.4 Optics
The vario optics of the CSvideo allows a smooth focusing of the optics to the desired distance. The sensors are available in two optic versions:
The following tables show the diameter of the measuring spot for some selected distances. The spot size refers to 90 % of the radiation energy. The distance is always measured from the front edge of the sensing head.
As an alternative to the optical diagrams, the spot size calculator can also be used on the optris website

5 Electrical Installation
5.1 Cable Connections
The CSvideo has two connector plugs integrated in the sensor backplane. Therefore an opening of the sensor for cable assembling is not necessary. For connection to a PC you can use the supplied 5 m USB cable with a 4-pin sensor connector (lengths of 10 m and 20 m are optional available).
For the analog connection (4-20 mA current loop, alarm, laser) a cable with a 7-pin plug is needed. This cable is not included in the scope of supply and has to be ordered separately. Lengths of 3, 8 and 15 m are available. Please use the original ready-made, fitting connection cables.
5.2 Power supply
Please use a separate, stabilized power supply unit with an output voltage of 5–30 VDC which can supply 100 mA. The ripple should be max. 200 mV.
Please use shielded cables only for all power and data lines. The sensor shield has to be grounded.

5.5 Maximum Loop Impedance
The maximum impedance of the current loop depends on the supply voltage level:
-Sighting 25-
WARNING: Do not point the laser directly at the eyes of persons or animals! Do not stare into the laser beam. Avoid indirect exposure via reflective surfaces!
The laser should only be used for sighting and positioning of the sensor. A permanent use of the laser can reduce the lifetime of the laser diodes and also the measurement accuracy can be affected.
6 Sighting
The CSvideo has an integrated video camera which is using the same optical channel than the IR detector. In addition the sensor has a cross laser aiming which marks the center of the measurement spot at any distance. The combination of video and laser sighting enables a perfect alignment of the sensor to the object.
The supply line for the sighting laser must be led via a switch or pushbutton, which has to be installed max. 2 m away from installation site of the sensor.
The laser can be activated/ deactivated via this switch (which needs to be installed by the user) or via the software.
At ambient temperatures >50 °C the laser will be switched off automatically.

6.1 Focusing and Video Sighting
On the back plane of the sensor you will find a rotary button for focusing of the optics. To set the focus to the desired measurement distance you have to connect the sensor with a PC using the USB cable. Please start the CompactConnect software. You will see the video beside the temperature-time diagram. The position of the measurement spot is indicated by a circle inside the video picture. The size of this circle is equivalent to the IR spot size.
By turning the rotary button clockwise you will change the focus in direction far. By turning counterclockwise you will change the focus in direction close.
After a successful focusing please enter the measurement distance (distance sensor front – object) in the according field in the software (underneath the video picture).
You will find a detailed description of the video settings in the software description which you can call via the menu [?/ Help...].

8 Basics of Infrared Thermometry
Depending on the temperature each object emits a certain amount of infrared radiation. A change in the temperature of the object is accompanied by a change in the intensity of the radiation. For the measurement of “thermal radiation” infrared thermometry uses a wave-length ranging between 1 µm and 20 µm. The intensity of the emitted radiation depends on the material. This material contingent constant is described with the help of the emissivity which is a known value for most materials (9 Emissivity).
Infrared thermometers are optoelectronic sensors. They calculate the surface temperature on the basis of the emitted infrared radiation from an object. The most important feature of infrared thermometers is that they enable the user to measure objects contactless. Consequently, these products help to measure the temperature of inaccessible or moving objects without difficulties. Infrared thermometers basically consist of the following components:
lens spectral filter detector electronics (amplifier/ linearization/ signal processing)
The specifications of the lens decisively determine the optical path of the infrared thermometer, which is characterized by the ratio Distance to Spot size. The spectral filter selects the wavelength range, which is relevant for the temperature measurement. The detector in cooperation with the processing electronics transforms the emitted infrared radiation into electrical signals.
-Emissivity 31-
9 Emissivity
9.1 Definition
The intensity of infrared radiation, which is emitted by each body, depends on the temperature as well as on the radiation features of the surface material of the measuring object. The emissivity (ε – Epsilon) is used as a material constant factor to describe the ability of the body to emit infrared energy. It can range between 0 and 100 %. A “blackbody” is the ideal radiation source with an emissivity of 1,0 whereas a mirror shows an emissivity of 0,1. If the emissivity chosen is too high, the infrared thermometer may display a temperature value which is much lower than the real temperature – assuming the measuring object is warmer than its surroundings. A low emissivity (reflective surfaces) carries the risk of inaccurate measuring results by interfering infrared radiation emitted by background objects (flames, heating systems, chamottes). To minimize measuring errors in such cases, the handling should be performed very carefully and the unit should be protected against reflecting radiation sources.
9.2 Determination of unknown Emissivities
First, determine the actual temperature of the measuring object with a thermocouple or contact sensor.
Second, measure the temperature with the infrared thermometer and modify the emissivity until the displayed result corresponds to the actual temperature.
If you monitor temperatures of up to 380 °C you may place a special plastic sticker (emissivity dots – part
number: ACLSED) onto the measuring object, which covers it completely. Now set the emissivity to 0,95
-32 -
and take the temperature of the sticker. Afterwards, determine the temperature of the adjacent area on the measuring object and adjust the emissivity according to the value of the temperature of the sticker.
Cove a part of the surface of the measuring object with a black, flat paint with an emissivity of 0,98. Adjust
the emissivity of your infrared thermometer to 0,98 and take the temperature of the colored surface. Afterwards, determine the temperature of a directly adjacent area and modify the emissivity until the measured value corresponds to the temperature of the colored surface.
CAUTION: On all three methods the object temperature must be different from ambient temperature.
9.3 Characteristic Emissivities
In case none of the methods mentioned above help to determine the emissivity you may use the emissivity tables Appendix A Emissivity Table Metals and Appendix B – Emissivity Table Non Metals. These are average values, only. The actual emissivity of a material depends on the following factors:
temperature measuring angle geometry of the surface thickness of the material constitution of the surface (polished, oxidized, rough, sandblast) spectral range of the measurement transmissivity (e.g. with thin films)

Appendix C – Smart Averaging
The average function is generally used to smoothen the output signal. With the adjustable parameter time this function can be optimal adjusted to the respective application. One disadvantage of the average function is that fast temperature peaks which are caused by dynamic events are subjected to the same averaging time. Therefore those peaks can only be seen with a delay on the signal output. The function Smart Averaging eliminates this disadvantage by passing those fast events without averaging directly through to the signal output.
