Safety Instructions
The instrument can be equipped with a Class 2 laser. Class 2 lasers shine only within the visible spectrum at an intensity of 1 mW. Looking directly into the laser beam can produce a slight, temporary blinding effect, but does not result in physical injury or damage to the eyes, even when the beam is magnified by optical aids. At any rate, closing the eye lids is encouraged when eye contact is made with the laser beam. Pay attention to possible reflections of the laser beam. The laser functions only to locate and mark surface measurement targets. Do not aim the laser at people or animals.
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury follow these guidelines:
Read all safety Information before you use the product. Use the product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the product can
be compromised.
Carefully read all instructions. Do not use and disable the product if it is damaged. Do not use the product if it operates incorrectly. Make sure the ground conductor in the mains power cord is connected to a
protective earth ground. Disruption of the protective earth could put voltage on the chassis that could cause death.
Replace the mains power cord if the insulation is damaged or if the insulation
shows signs of wear.
Use in 110/230 VAC electrical systems can result in electrical hazards and
personal injury, if not properly protected. All instrument parts supplied by electricity must be covered to prevent physical contact and other hazards at all times.
The system integrator is responsible for the final safety of the system.

4 Basics
4.1 Measurement of Infrared Temperature
All surfaces emit infrared radiation. The intensity of this infrared radiation changes according to the temperature of the object. Depending on the material and surface properties, the emitted radiation lies in a wavelength spectrum of approximately 1 to 20 µm. The intensity of the infrared radiation (heat radiation) is dependent on the material. For many substances, this material-dependent constant is known. This constant is referred to as the ”emissivity value”. Infrared thermometers are optical-electronic sensors. These sensors are sensitive to the emitted radiation. Infrared thermometers are made up of a lens, a spectral filter, a sensor, and an electronic signal processing unit. The task of the spectral filter is to select the wavelength spectrum of interest. The sensor converts the infrared radiation into an electrical signal. The signal processing electronics analyze the electrical signal and convert it into a temperature measurement. As the intensity of the emitted infrared radiation is dependent on the material, the required emissivity can be selected on the sensor. The biggest advantage of the infrared thermometer is its ability to measure temperature without touching an object. Consequently, surface temperatures of moving or hard to reach objects can easily be measured.
4.2 Emissivity of Target Object
To determine the emissivity of the target object see section 19.1 Determination of Emissivity, page 128. If emissivity is low, measured results could be falsified by interfering infrared radiation from background objects (such as heating systems, flames, fireclay bricks, etc. located close beside or behind the target object). This type of problem can occur when measuring reflective surfaces and very thin materials, such as plastic film and glass. This measurement error can be reduced to a minimum, if particular care is taken during installation and the sensing head is shielded from these reflecting radiation sources.
4.3 Ambient Temperature
The sensing head is suited for the ambient temperatures up to 120°C (248°F) for the standard heads and up to 180°C (356°F) for the LTH heads. The sensing head can operate in ambient temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) with the air-cooling accessory.
4.4 Atmospheric Quality
If the lens gets dirty, infrared energy will be blocked and the instrument will not measure accurately. It is good practice to always keep the lens clean. The Air Purge Jacket helps keep contaminants from building up on the lens. If you use air purging, make sure a filtered air supply with clean dry air at the correct air pressure is installed before proceeding with the sensor installation.
4.5 Electrical Interference
To minimize electrical or electromagnetic interference or “noise”, please be aware of the following:
Mount the unit as far away as possible from potential sources of electrical interference, such as
motorized equipment, which can produce large step load changes.
Use shielded wire for all input and output connections. To avoid current equalizations, make sure that a sufficient potential equalization is realized
between the sensing head and metal housing of the communication box.

To avoid ground loops, make sure that only one point is earth grounded, either via the
sensing head, the Comm Box, or power.
Please note that:
The metal housings of the sensing head and the MI3 communication box are electrically
connected to the shield of the head cable.
All inputs and outputs (except the alarm output and the outputs of the Comm Box (DIN 6TE,
analog)) use the same ground and are electrically connected to the power supply.

5.1 Positioning
Sensor location depends on the application. Before deciding on a location, you need to be aware of the ambient temperature of the location, the atmospheric quality of the location, and the possible electromagnetic interference in that location. If you plan to use air purging, you need to have an air connection available. Wiring and conduit runs must be considered, including computer wiring and connections, if used.
5.1.1 Distance to Object
The desired spot size on the target will determine the maximum measurement distance. To avoid erroneous readings, the target spot size must completely fill the entire field of view of the sensor. Consequently, the sensor must be positioned so the field of view is the same as or smaller than the desired target size. For a list indicating the available optics, see section 3.2 Optical Charts, page 17.
The actual spot size for any distance can be calculated by using the following formula. Divide the
distance D by your model’s D:S number. For example, for a unit with D:S = 10:1, if the sensor is
400 mm (15.7 in.) from the target, divide 400 by 10 (15.7 by 10), which gives you a target spot size of approximately 40 mm (1.57 in.).

The sensor is capable of improving the accuracy of target temperature measurements by taking into account the ambient or background temperature. This feature is useful when the target emissivity is below 1.0 and the background temperature is significantly hotter than the target temperature. For instance, the higher temperature of a furnace wall could lead to hotter temperatures being measured especially for low emissivity targets. Ambient background temperature compensation allows for the impact of reflected radiation in accordance with the reflective behavior of the target. Due to the surface structure of the target, some amount of ambient radiation will be reflected and therefore, added to the thermal radiation that is collected by the sensor. The ambient background temperature compensation adjusts the final result by subtracting the amount of ambient radiation measured from the sum of thermal radiation the sensor is exposed to.
Three possibilities for ambient background temperature compensation are available:
The internal sensing head temperature is utilized for compensation assuming that the ambient
background temperature is more or less represented by the internal sensing head temperature. This is the default setting.
If the background ambient temperature is known and constant, the user may give the known
ambient temperature as a constant temperature value.
Ambient background temperature compensation from a second temperature sensor (infrared or
contact temperature sensor) ensures extremely accurate results. For example, a second IR sensor, configured to provide a 0 to 5 volt output scaled for the same temperature range as the target can be connected to input FTC2 to provide real-time ambient background compensation.

The FTC3 input can be used as an external trigger functioning as “Trigger” or “Hold”. All sensing heads are effected by the FTC3 input at the same time.
Figure 28: Wiring of FTC3 as Trigger/Hold
Trigger: A logical low signal at the input FTC3 will reset the peak or valley hold function. As long as
the input is kept at logical low level, the software will transfer the actual object temperatures toward the output. At the next logical high level, the hold function will be restarted.
Figure 29: FTC for Resetting the Peak Hold Function
Hold: This mode acts as an externally generated hold function. A transition at the input FTC3 from
logical high level toward logical low level will transfer the current temperature toward the output. This temperature will be written to the output until a new transition from high to low occurs at the input FTC3.

8.5 Post Processing
8.5.1 Averaging
Averaging is used to smooth the output signal. The signal is smoothed depending on the defined time basis. The output signal tracks the detector signal with significant time delay but noise and short peaks are damped. Use a longer average time for more accurate damping behavior. The average time is the amount of time the output signal needs to reach 90% magnitude of an object temperature jump.
Figure 35: Averaging
A low level input (GND) at external input FTC3 will promptly interrupt the averaging and will start the calculation again.

Time
Attention: The disadvantage of averaging is the time delay of the output signal. If the temperature
jumps at the input (hot object), the output signal reaches only 90% magnitude of the actual object temperature after the defined average time.
8.5.2 Peak Hold
The output signal follows the object temperature until a maximum is reached. The output will „hold“ the maximum value for the selected duration of the hold time. Once the hold time is exceeded, the peak hold function will reset and the output will resume tracking the object temperature until a new peak is reached. The range for the hold time is 0.1 to 998.9 s.
Figure 36: Peak Hold
A defined hold time of 999 s (symbol “∞” in the display) will put the device into continuous peak
detection mode. A low level input (GND) at external input FTC3 will promptly interrupt the hold time and will start the maximum detection again.
8.5.3 Valley Hold
The output signal follows the object temperature until a minimum is reached. The output will „hold“
the minimum value for the selected duration of the hold time. Once the hold time is exceeded, the valley hold function will reset and the output will resume tracking the object temperature until a new valley is reached. The range for the hold time is 0.1 to 998.9 s

8.5.4 Advanced Peak Hold
This function searches the sensor signal for a local maximum (peak) and writes this value to the output until a new local maximum is found. Before the algorithm restarts its search for a local maximum, the object temperature has to drop below a predefined threshold. If the object temperature rises above the held value, which has been written to the output so far, the output signal follows the object temperature again. If the algorithm detects a local maximum while the object temperature is currently below the predefined threshold, the output signal jumps to the new maximum temperature of this local maximum. Once the actual temperature has passed a maximum above a certain magnitude, a new local maximum is found. This magnitude is called hysteresis.

This function works similar to the advanced peak hold function, except that it will search the signal for a local minimum.
8.5.6 Advanced Peak Hold with Averaging
The output signal delivered by the advanced peak hold functions tends to jump up and down. This is due to the fact, that only maximum points of the otherwise homogenous trace will be shown. The user may combine the functionality of the peak hold function with the averaging function by choosing an average time, thus, smoothing the output signal for convenient tracing.

Temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) are not recommended due to the temperature limitation of the sensor.
Example:
Ambient temperature = 50 °C Relative humidity = 40 % Minimum device temperature = 30 °C
The use of lower temperatures is at your own risk!
9.1.1 Avoidance of Condensation
If environmental conditions makes water cooling necessary, it is strictly recommended to check whether condensation will be a real problem or not. Water cooling also causes a cooling of the air in the inner part of the sensor, thereby decreasing the capability of the air to hold water. The relative humidity increases and can reach 100% very quickly. In case of a further cooling, the surplus water vapor will condense out as water. The water will condense on the lenses and the electronics resulting in possible damage to the sensor. Condensation can even happen on an IP65 sealed housing.
To avoid condensation, the temperature of the cooling media and the flow rate must be selected to ensure a minimum device temperature. The minimum sensor temperature depends on the ambient temperature and the relative humidity. Please consider the following table.

0.6 to 1 bar (8.7 to 15 PSI). Clean, oil free air is recommended.

When using the Right Angle Mirror, adjust the emissivity or transmissivity settings downward by 5%. For example, for an object with an emissivity of 0.65, you adjust the value down to 0.62. Or, you can keep the emissivity 0.65 and adjust the transmissivity from
1.0 to 0.95. This correction accounts for energy losses in the mirror.
10.3.5 Right Angle Mirror
The Right Angle Mirror is used to turn the field of view by 90° against the sensor axis. It is recommended when space limitations or excessive radiation do not allow for direct alignment of the sensor to the target. The mirror must be installed after the bracket and after the Air Purge Collar and screwed in fully. In dusty or contaminated environments, air purging is required to keep the mirror surface clean.

11.2 Fail-Safe Operation
The Fail-Safe system is designed to alert the operator and provide a safe output in case of any system failure. The sensor is designed to shutdown the process in the event of a set-up error, system error, or a failure in the sensor electronics.
When an error or failure does occur, the display indicates the possible failure area, and the output circuits automatically adjust to their preset levels. See the following tables:

11.3 Cleaning the Lens
Keep the lens clean at all times. Care should be taken when cleaning the lens. To clean the window, do the following:
1. Lightly blow off loose particles with “canned” air (used for cleaning computer equipment) or
a small squeeze bellows (used for cleaning camera lenses).
2. Gently brush off any remaining particles with a soft camel hair brush or a soft lens tissue
(available from camera supply stores).
3. Clean remaining “dirt” using a cotton swab or soft lens tissue dampened in distilled water.
Do not scratch the surface.
For finger prints or other grease, use any of the following:
Denatured alcohol Ethanol Kodak lens cleaner
Apply one of the above to the lens. Wipe gently with a soft, clean cloth until you see colors on the surface, then allow to air dry. Do not wipe the surface dry, this may scratch the surface. If silicones (used in hand creams) get on the window, gently wipe the surface with Hexane. Allow to air dry.
MI3 Rev. G Nov/2015 85
Page 86
Maintenance
Do not use any ammonia or any cleaners containing ammonia to clean the lens. This may result in permanent damage to the lens’ surface!
11.4 Sensing Head Exchange
To exchange a sensing head, the following procedure is required:
1. Disconnect power to the box.
2. Disconnect all head wires from the box terminal.
3. Power the box.
4. The alarm indicator of the box starts to blink indicating a lost sensing head.
5. Press the button to navigate to the head page indicating a lost sensing head.
6. Decide whether you want to select:
a) <Remove Yes>: to remove the head permanently from the box by loosing all head parameters (head address de-allocated for other heads, alarm condition is reset) – the next head connected later will be detected as a new head and automatically assigned to a free head address. or b) <Remove No>: to keep the head assigned to the box by saving all head parameters for a future use without the need to parameterize that head again (head address reserved for that individual head, alarm condition is kept) – the same head connected later will be detected as a known head by keeping the previous address.

Profibus DP-V0 defines a cyclical data exchange between a master (e.g. a PLC) and a slave (MI3 sensor). At start-up first an array of parameters (Profibus specific data) is sent from the master to the slave, followed by an array with the configuration (sensor specific presetting’s taken from the GSD file) also sent from the master to the slave. After start-up the bus switches to the data exchange state. In this state in- and output data gets exchanged cyclically between master and slave. The input data is sent from the slave to the master and contains mainly the measured temperatures of the MI3 sensor, see section 14.2.2 Input Data, page 93. The output data is sent from the master to the slave and contains a set of selected sensor parameters, see section 14.2.3 Output Data, page 94. In case of an error in start-up phase or during data exchange diagnostic data is sent to the master, see section 14.2.4 Diagnose Data, page 94.
Each Profibus device comes with a device description file (GSD file) which is read by the programming software of the master to define the slave.

14.2.2 Input Data
The input data consists of modules that have a fixed position in the data field. There are two types of modules: <Box data> and <Data for one head>.
Module <Box data> consists of one byte in which bit0 gives the trigger state (configuration 0x12). Module <Head data> consists of two bytes object temperature and two bytes head temperature
(configuration 0x51). The format is 1/10 °C/°F.
The slave expects one <Box data> module configured at the first position, followed by <Head data> modules. Any other configuration will cause a configuration error. The input data length gets calculated from the count of configured modules. So, if only one head is connected and configured then only seven bytes are transferred. If all heads (maximal eight) are connected and configured then 35 bytes are transferred. If only one head is connected but eight heads are configured then also 35 bytes are transferred.

14.2.3 Output Data
The device does not have output data in the original meaning. But the output data may be used to change the initialization of the device (which was set once at start-up) when the bus is in data exchange mode.
To do so the following structure is defined:
The <Type of parameter> comes with the format described in section 14.2.1 Parameter Data, page 92, and can be set to the following parameters:
If <Type of parameter> is set to 0 then the output data gets ignored. So it should be set to 0 as default.
Attention: You should be aware that always all heads are updated! So you have to set all eight (or as much as heads are connected) parameters to the correct value!
14.2.4 Diagnose Data
The device uses the first 32 bytes of the Identifier Related Diagnosis. The first 6 bytes consist of Standard Diagnosis dedicated to bus parameters. In this field byte 4 and 5 give the unit identifier (0D36 in our case).

15.2.2 Parameter Data
32 bit registers are transmitted in full Big-Endian mode, meaning most significant word is transmitted first, least significant word is transmitted last. The byte order within a word is Big-Endian as well. While some registers hold integer values, there are some holding floating points. The interchange formats of the IEEE-754 standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic is used for representing floating points. The following table lists all parameters, its content, their formats and usage.
15.2.2.1 Box Parameter
