Principle of Operation

R Series Fixed-IR sensors use a modular structure and component interchangeability to ensure an instrument is ideally suited for each particular application. It also simplifies field troubleshooting, repair and calibration.

Basics of Infrared Thermometry

Every object emits some amount of infrared radiation. As the object temperature increases, the intensity of the radiated energy increases. This emitted energy is related to a term called emissivity which is a number between 0 and 1 which is the object emitted energy in relation to a black body perfect radiator. A perfect radiator has an emissivity of 1 meaning that all the energy being emitted belongs to it whereas the measured target of interest may have part of its emitted energy being reflected from something else. We want to factor out the reflected energy by selecting a correct emissivity setting. The emissivity of most common materials is known, either exactly or closely as some objects will vary due to age and cleanliness. See more information about emissivity and a table of values for common materials in Appendix I.

Detector

Thermopile

A thermopile is a tight cluster of a large number of tiny specialized thermocouples. They are connected together to form a single measuring point and the output is the difference between the ambient temperature the head electronics are in (the cold junction) and the target temperature collected and determined by the optical system wavelength filter and the thermopile (hot junction).

The waveband is determined by an additional optical filter chosen by the manufacturer for the specific application. This is to reduce or eliminate emitted wavelengths, which might belong to the target or might be unwanted reflections that are of no interest for the measurement application.

Wahl provides 6 different spectrums in our thermopile versions. They are 3.43 micron, 3.9 micron,

4.11 to 4.72 micron, 5.1 micron, 7.9 micron and 8 to 14 micron.

Photodiode

Both Silicon and InGaAs photodiode principles are completely different from thermopile: the collected energy is transformed into electron flow. The result is a current proportional with the incident energy.

This transformation is very fast, taking only a few µS. The response time of the measuring system is limited by the electronics; high resolution and low energy consumption makes it a little bit slower. The waveband is determined by the physical characteristic of the sensor.

6

R40 / R60 Series Fixed Infrared Sensors User Manual

Wahl provides 3 different spectrums in our photodiode versions, ranging from 1.0 micron and 1.6 micron.

Lens and Filter

The specifications of the lens decisively determine the optical path of the infrared thermometer, characterized by the ratio Distance to Spot size. The spectral filter selects the wavelength range, which is relevant for the temperature measurement. The detector and the processing electronics transform the emitted infrared radiation into electrical signals.

Wahl provides four optic options for the R40 model and five optic options for the R60 model for both the photodiode and thermopile versions.

Maximum Distance and Spot Size

Use the size of the object being measured, together with the optical resolution of the infrared thermometer to determine the maximum distance between the two. The object being measured should completely fill the field of view of the optics to prevent any potential errors.

Proper Placement of Sensor:

Target greater than spot size

Target equal to spot size

Target smaller than spot size

To achieve the best results, the spot size of the infrared thermometer should be smaller than the object being measured.

Before installation, review the target to ratio tables on the following pages for the appropriate Optics image for your model to determine the correct distance and visual field.

Air Purity

The lens must always be kept clean from:

• Dust

• Dirt

• Steam

• Vapors

• Fumes

• Particles

• Other contaminants

The flowing air from the Air Purge Collar, available as an accessory, can also be used to:

• Blow Smoke away from the lens

• Blow air out around the lens to counteract incoming waves of “Heat” from very ho t process fluctuations.

This is necessary to prevent coating or covering of the surface of the lens which will cause reading errors and might cause lens damage. It is important to make sure that only oil-free, dry, and clean filtered instrument grade compressed air is used.

Installation

R Series Fixed IR installation is very easy. The cylindrical stainless steel is externally threaded (M44 x

1.5) and allows quick connection with all available accessories.

Use the following procedure to install the R Series Fixed IR.

Ambient Temperature

R40 - Do not mount the measuring head in a room with an ambient temperature higher than 149°F

(65°C) without an adequate cooling system. a) The sensor is designed for measurements in ambient temperatures between 41° to 149°F (5°C to 65°C). b) In ambient conditions above 149°F (65°C), the operating range can be extended to 250°F

(120°C) with air cooling and to 350°F (175°C) with water cooling. c) In ambient conditions up to 600°F (315°C), a heavy-duty housing should be used. d) When using the water‐cooled housing, it is strongly recommended to use the supplied air purge collar to avoid condensation on the lens.

R40 Air/Water Cooling Jacket

When installing the R40 instrument head in a hot environment it is necessary to cool its electronics by pumping cold air or water through the cooling jacket. Use only clean air or water to prevent build-up which might cause an obstruction inside the unit or at its outlet. The air or water must be cold enough and of sufficient volume to cool the electronics for the ambient environment.

12

R40 / R60 Series Fixed Infrared Sensors User Manual

Before running the water line please follow the following precautions:

1) The outlet of the cooling jacket must be kept clean in order to control the flow and water temperature;

2) Use a thermometer to control the water temperature.

NOTE: IN CLOSED CIRCUIT SYSTEMS, ALWAYS USE RUNNING WATER WITH A LOW-LEVEL PRESSURE

GAUGE TO ASSURE THE CONTINUOUS SUPPLY OF WATER.

R60 – operates in temperatures up to 200°C without cooling.

Environment

The environmental conditions at the installation point of the unit can have a significant impact on its performance. Avoid mounting the unit in locations near reflective surfaces or items that are very hot or cold. Bothersome reflections may affect your emissivity settings which will affect your target temperature readings. Ideally, your target areas should be, as far as possible, isolated from outside influences. Within the target area, everything should be as stable and repeatable as possible.

Electrical Interference

Do not route the signal cable near electromagnetic sources (for example: electrical motors, high power cables, welding, etc.). If necessary, use metal conduit.

Do not pull out the electronic board from the cylinder; it could be difficult to reassemble the thermometer.

To shield the connection cables, extend the shield wire to the destination point (display, controller, etc.) and connect it to ground.

Mechanical Installation

Using the Target vs. Distance Tables for Model R40, and Model R60 for the appropriate Optics image for your model, accurately aim the thermometer at the target. The optional laser aiming can assist you in achieving the best installation.

R60 only: Do not bend the fiber optics with a radius smaller than 200 mm. A smaller radius could cause a measurement error or breakage of the fiber optics. In order to achieve the best results, switch on the laser aiming and properly turn the fiber optics to obtain the maximum beam intensity from the optical head – before screwing the optical fiber optics to the main instrument.

Output

Milliamp Output

The milliamp output is an analog output you can connect directly to:

1) Display Panel

2) Recording Device

3) Chart Recorder

4) PLC

5) Controller

Wahl provides 4 to 20mA (default) and 0 to 20mA, switchable in control panel.

Relay Output

Relay output relates to the currently displayed temperature on display. The relay output can be used to indicate an alarm state or to control external actions. The relay contacts can be set to:

N.O. normally open: relay contacts are open while in the home position

The relay output has one user selectable setpoint:

• Trigger Point

Input

The external input can be used to provide the following functions:

• digital triggering

• digital switching of the laser

Signal Processing

When an IR thermometer is employed in an on-line system, its signal may be subjected to large fluctuations. Time function features are useful to retain the signal levels that are more likely to represent the true target temperature.

There are two ways signals are processed in the Wahl Fixed IR.

ON-SITE is for the user to set up through the instrument keypad and view the data thru instrument

LCD. On-site features include:

Averaging

Peak

Valley

17

REAL TIME DATA uses W ahl’s Fixed IR via RS485 and protocol with the users’ own Windows-based software. Real time data features:

• Averaging

• Peak

Valley

Plus:

Peak-Picking

• Peak-Picking with reset

• Peak-Picking delayed

Valley-Picking

Valley-Picking with reset

• Track & Hold

Average

Rapid temperature fluctuations about a true mean value can make the thermometer output unsuitable for recording and control. In this case, the average function can be used to provide a smoothed signal.

The output signal Avu is given by:

Avu =Avp + (M – Avp) * 2 ΔT / D where

M

Avu

Avp

 T

D Average time (sec)

(programmable)

18

R40 / R60 Series Fixed Infrared Sensors User Manual

Peak

The Peak function holds a maximum temperature and retains it until a higher value appears or an external reset occurs.

Valley

The Valley function holds the minimum temperature and retains it until a lower value appears or an external reset signal occurs.

Peak-Picker

The peak-picker function holds a peak signal and allows it to decay slowly until the arrival of the next peak. It is used in such applications as rolling mills where the signal is occasionally lowered by steam, smoke, water droplets, metal scale, etc. When Peak-Picker function is programmed, the 4/20 mA output will follow the mathematical expression below:

U = Peak – (PickDec * 2

Δ

T) where

U

PickDec

 T

Peak-Picker with reset

When the Peak-Picker with reset function is selected, the external reset input is used to force the signal output to the current temperature measurement.

19

R40 / R60 Series Fixed Infrared Sensors User Manual

Peak-Picker delayed

When the Peak-Picker delayed function is selected, you have to set the following parameters:

PickDec = Decay rate

Threshold

StartPeak

= Temperature threshold level

= delay for starting peak-picking

EndPeak = delay for ending peak-picking

Delayed Mode 2 = when selected, enable mode 2

When the signal exceeds the programmed trigger level (Threshold), the thermometer will hold for the “StartPeak” delay before beginning the standard Peak-Picker function.

• When the input signal decreases below the trigger level (Threshold), the thermometer will hold for the “EndPeak” delay before reset ting the output signal.

• The output signal will be reduced to low scale if Mode 1 is selected or the last calculated value if Mode 2 is selected.

Track and Hold

The Track (sample) and Hold function allows smoothed signals to be obtained from intermittent events. These may originate from objects on a conveyor belt or targets where the view is periodically obscured by rotating machinery. The output sampling is activated by a command signal received by an external switch that can be actuated by the belt or rotating machinery itself. The output is held when the switch is operated until the next command is received.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Each R series Fixed IR is factory calibrated and certified against Wahl Standards. A NIST Certificate of

Conformance stating the nominal and actual values and the deviation error is available separately. The instrument calibration must be periodically verified.

The R series uses sophisticated analog and digital technology. All maintenance operations must be carried out by qualified personnel.

For the instrument to function correctly the optic system must be kept clean and must not reach temperatures higher than those specified. The maintenance department should ensure these working conditions with a periodical check of the cooling system and cleaning the lens.

Purge Air Supply

Air filter cleanliness must be checked at regular intervals.

Our suggestion is to check it every day, and then determine a correct time interval based on your experience.

If the optic system reaches temperatures higher than the working temperatures specified, it has to be recalibrated at the factory.

The air purge device is to be accurately checked, as the diffuser may become obstructed by contaminated air. When this happens, the air flow from the diffuser is not uniform, and dust particles appear on the lens. In this case, the diffuser should be washed in a detergent solution and blown with compressed air, then dried. Proper air filtering will solve this problem.

Water Supply

Verify the water flow according to your experience: daily first, and then when the system is running well, weekly. Check the thermometer temperature: it has to be high enough to prevent any condensation formation. Once the water continuity is defined, it's enough to verify the support temperature.

WARNING! If the temperature of the thermometer becomes too high due to the absence of water or to a partial flow interruption, it must be verified and re-calibrated by the manufacturer. Please call

Customer Service for an RMA to send your unit back for recalibration.

33

R40 / R60 Series Fixed Infrared Sensors User Manual

Optic Cleaning

Remove the connection wires from the terminal board.

Remove the thermometer from its support. Verify the cleanliness of the internal part of the cylinder by removing any dirt particles or oil.

If necessary, clean the lens with a very soft cloth and then reinstall the thermometer. Verify the alignment and reconnect everything. Use an air purge system to keep the lens clean.

Mounting Device

Verify at regular intervals that these devices are in good condition and that no damage has occurred.

Interconnection Cable

Verify at regular intervals that cables are in good condition and that no damage has occurred. Verify that the connections between the indicator and the acquisition system are secure.

Appendix I: Emissivity of Common Materials

How It Works

All solid objects emit infrared energy above absolute zero. The amount of energy emitted is proportional to the body temperature. Wahl’s Heat Spy® directs this energy by means of fixed focus optics into a sensitive detector, which is amplified and processed by the computer to temperature readings in °F or °C. It is fast, because IR energy travels at the speed of light, and the detector has a very low mass. The time constant is 0.1 second, about 10 times faster than conventional contact methods. Measurements are displayed in less than one second.

When to Use

Temperature at a Distance - You can stand 1 to 40 feet away and conveniently measure temperature of bearings, kilns, and furnace walls. You can locate hot spots in reactor shells, steam piping, and insulation surfaces. Specialty models can be used to up to 300 feet away from your temperature target.

Temperature of Moving Material - Moving materials require two Heat Spy features not available by any other method: non-contact with the process material, and fast-measurement of rapidly moving materials. Measure continuously moving solid materials like plastic film and extrusions, pulp and paper, textiles, rubber, steel sheets, coating, or painting.

Temperature of Small, Low Mass Material - Electronic components or other small or low mass items can be measured with a Wahl Heat Spy, where a contact thermometer would change the measured condition through heat transfer.

Temperature of areas too hot for personnel - In foundries, forging shops, glass factories and power plants, the Wahl Heat Spy allows you to stand away from the heat or high voltage.

Temperature of Rough Surfaces - The Wahl Heat Spy does not require contact with the target. It measures rough and uneven surfaces and averages temperature readings of the observed target area.

It affords users an efficient method of measuring the temperature of granular materials, rough castings, and forgings.

Temperature requiring quick measurement - Opening and closing of injection molding dies requires temperature to be measured in less than 2 seconds. The Wahl Heat Spy is ideal for use with rotating machinery, like large motor armatures and drive couplings.

R40 / R60 Series Fixed Infrared Sensors User Manual

Emissivity

Emissivity in IR measurement refers to the ability of the measured surface to emit radiation. Surfaces vary in emissivity and this must be taken into account before accurate readings can be obtained. The emissivity ratio represents the amount of radiated energy that the measured surface returns to the instrument. A return of 100% of the energy is measured as 1.0 emissivity. If all the radiated energy is reflected and/or transmitted and none emitted, the emissivity ratio is 0.0. A perfect radiator such as a black body, has a 1.0 emissivity ratio and a very shiny or highly-polished surface has a ratio of 0.2 or lower. Most textured or painted surfaces have an emissivity ratio of around .95. Most Wahl Heat Spy thermometers feature adjustable emissivity from 0.10 to 1.00. Other Heat Spy units that are not adjustable are set at 0.95 and include instructions on how to adjust readings to take low emissivity into account.

Hints for Choosing and Using

Know your target

What is the emissivity? How clear is the optical (IR) path to the target? Are reflections a concern? What is the expected temperature range you will need to measure?

Know your spot size

The target must completely fill the sensitive area in order to get accurate readings.

Have realistic expectations

If you need to know the temperature within 1 degree Fahrenheit, you should use another technology, like a RTD contact probe.

Stabilization

Allow the IR thermometer to stabilize at the temperature where it will be used for at least 30 minutes for an accurate reading.

Keep the lens clean

Also watch out for dusty or vapor-filled optical paths.

Accuracy concerns - If accuracy is a concern, buy a model with adjustable emissivity. If you’re just looking for “hot spots” a fixed emissivity model will work well.

Always remember - You are only measuring surface temperature. If you need the temperature of a mixture, use an immersion probe and an electronic thermometer.
