Operating manual Preparing the pyrometer for measurements General Information The pyrometer’s field of view must remain unobstructed. Any obstruction may lead to measurement errors. Diopter compensation The pyrometer offers diopter compensa- tion to adjust the sighting device to the user’s vision. Turn the ring until you see a sharp image of the target spot indica- tion in the viewfinder.
Operating manual Align the pyrometers Direct the Ardoptix to the object to be measured. The target marker in the through-the-lens sighting device indicates the size of the target. (see technical data/ course of target). When measuring with a two-colour py- rometer, the object to be measured is not required to fill the complete measurement area.
Operating manual Automatic switch-off In the default setting, the Ardoptix switches off automatically after 2 minutes if none of the control keys are pressed. Automatic switch-off can be configured from 1 – 60 minutes. The Ardoptix measures continuously when it is in "automatic disconnection deactivated" mode. Setting parameters at the pyrometer (basic configura- tion) Use the buttons ▲▼...

Operating manual Displayed temperature readings configuration layer C020 Setting the Emissivity Ratio (two-colour/ratio mode) When the radiation properties of the target object’s surface (emissivity) differ at two different wavelengths, or when interferences in the field of view—such as dust or steam—do not weaken the signal to the same de- gree at each wavelength, the pyrometer can be adjusted by setting the ratio of these two emissivity coefficients.
Operating manual Once you have configured the emissivity ratio parameter, the pyrometer will maintain this specific setting. The py- rometer will always operate with this value unless you change the setting. Initializing emissivity ratio constants The Ardoptix lets you store up to 10 emissivity ratio factors. Before you perform a new measurement, simply use the ▲▼...

Operating manual 15.1.2 Background Temperature Compensation (Spectral mode) Thermal radiation reflected from the surrounding will require that you make an additional correction when the reflected radiation is strong compared to the natural radiation of the target. This applies to object sur- faces which have very low emissivity or when the temperature of the ob- ject is lower than the temperature of its surroundings.

This information is stored in a user-defined tempera- ture-indexed lookup table and used for signal conditioning. For values lower than the 1st node and higher than the last node, the first and last linear segments are extrapolated.

Operating manual Theory of Non-Contact Temperature Measurements All materials radiate thermal energy in all states of aggregation above absolute zero. This radiation is mainly caused by atomic or molecular oscillations. The intensity of this infrared radiation is a measure for the temperature of the radiating body.
Operating manual 22.2 Temperature measurement using spectral mode For non-contact measurements the Ardoptix uses the intensity of the in- frared radiation at one certain wavelength. It is necessary to configure the Ardoptix to the respective emissivity coef- ficient of the measuring object to get exact measuring results. An incor- rectly set emissivity coefficient leads to wrong temperature readings.
