TECH NOTE 01 Infrared Temperature Sensors
All infrared-based sensing systems must be calibrated for specific material
surface properties (for example, the amount of heat radiated from the target
surface, environmental heat reflections etc.). This calibration is performed
by measuring the target surface temperature with a reliable independent
surface temperature probe. The easiest and fastest method of accurately
calibrating out these eects is to use an Exergen Microscanner D-Series hand-
held Infrared Thermometer with a patented Automatic Emissivity Compensatio
System, which gives a true reading regardless of emissivity. Your Authorized
IRt/c Distributor will be pleased to make a D-Series available for your
installation. To calibrate Adjustable models (IRt/c. xxA) see Tech Note No.
60.
The following procedure is recommended:
- Install the IRt/c as close as practi al to view the target material to be measured.
- Wire the IRt/c to the controller, PLC, transmi er, etc. in standard fashion (including ground shield as in Tech Note #82). As with conventional thermocouples, red wire is always (-).
- Bring the process up to normal operatin temperature and measure the actual temperature of the target material with the Microscanner D-Series Infrared Thermometer.
- Adjust “input o set,” “zero,” “low cal,”on the readout device to match the Microscanner reading. Installation Complete. (For OEM installations preset the same adjustments. Individual calibration is not equired.)
