FAQ's of Infrared Temperature Sensor PyroSigma:
Q: How do I adjust the emissivity setting on the PyroSigma Infrared Temperature Sensor?
A: The PyroSigma's emissivity is adjustable, with a standard setting of 0.95. This parameter can be configured through the sensor's interface, allowing users to calibrate the sensor for different target materials and surface finishes.
Q: What is the process for installing the PyroSigma sensor in my industrial setup?
A: The sensor features a threaded mounting design suitable for secure installation in process lines, ducts, or equipment. It uses a standard cable gland for electrical connections and comes with a 2-meter cable for flexible placement. Ensure the mounting location allows an unobstructed field of view for optimal measurement accuracy.
Q: Where can the PyroSigma sensor be used effectively?
A: This sensor is designed for industrial environments such as process control, HVAC systems, automation, and general temperature monitoring tasks. Its robust build and wide operating temperature range support both indoor and outdoor applications in the United Kingdom.
Q: What are the benefits of using the PyroSigma over traditional contact temperature sensors?
A: As a non-contact sensor, the PyroSigma enables fast, hygienic, and reliable temperature measurement without interference from moving parts or surface contamination. This reduces maintenance requirements and operating downtime, especially in high-temperature or hard-to-reach areas.
Q: When should ambient temperature compensation be considered during operation?
A: Ambient temperature compensation is automatically handled by the PyroSigma, ensuring consistent accuracy even when environmental temperatures fluctuate. This feature is especially beneficial when installed in areas with varying or extreme ambient conditions.
Q: What kind of output signal does the PyroSigma provide, and how is it integrated into control systems?
A: The PyroSigma outputs a linear analog current signal (4-20mA) that is compatible with most industrial automation and process control systems. The signal varies directly with the measured temperature, enabling straightforward integration into existing control loops.
