The transmission rate of the IR window being installed is important. This information must be written on the window label that corresponds with the ICI product being installed.

E: Once the hole is cut to size, deburr, and remove any metal shavings and the remaining portion of the cutting template.
F: Finally, treat all bare metal surfaces with a protective, anticorrosion coating (paint, sealer, etc.). This will ensure the IR window seals are not affected by long-term corrosion and protect the integrity of the panel.

Fitting the Window

A: Remove the back plate from the Round IR window; then, place the body of the unit, complete with seals, on the front of the panel.
B: Place the back plate inside the panel and fit the screws through the back plate into the body of the Round IR window. Tighten screws to 1.2 Nm (10.6 in-lb). This equates to fully hand-tight using a screwdriver.

Labels and Instructions

Ensuring that the Round IR window is correctly labeled is essential. Without the correct information, it will not be useful to its full effect. The ICI Round IR window is supplied with two labels: Instruction Label and Window Label.

ICI-Round-IR-Window-Infrared-Cameras-FIG-11

The Instruction Label should be placed next to the window and details the steps to be taken to ensure the unit is used correctly.
The Window Label allows the thermographer to note the number of targets, the emissivity of the targets, the transmission rate of the IR window, etc. The most common method of locating the targets required is by using the clock face method, i.e. bus bar connections at 4 o’clock, etc. An example of a completed label is shown below.
