13.1.12 Beam block
This function is only available for Polytron
®
87x0 IR (using the sensor PIR 7x00).
The factory default setting for the beam block function is off.
If turned On, the beam block signal will be transmitted on the analog interface if the
optics of the PIR 7x00 sensor is “dirty”. The optics of the PIR 7x00 can become
“dirty” if there is a build-up of deposits on the optical surfaces. However, if the gas
concentration rises to a level above beam block limit, the instrument returns to
normal operation.
If the build-up of deposits on the optical surfaces increases beyond the point where
a measurement is possible, the instrument will go into fault.
To set beam block signals on/off:
1. Select Settings > Communication > Analog interface and the desired option.
2. Select Enable or Disable and confirm.
