Rev. L6 Feb 2017 Modline 5
• Enter the proper E-Slope value in the E-SL function.
If you change materials or if the material characteristics change, re-determine the E-Slope for the
material and readjust the E-SL function if necessary.
If you are viewing your target through a window, consider the effect of window
transmission as described in Section 8 Applications Guide, page 129.
Navigate from TEMP display with  &▲▼to Head then use  &▲▼ to E-SL.

5.9.4 Remote E-Slope Current Input
You may make remote analog adjustments of the E-Slope value by sending a scaled input of 4 to 20 mAdc.
This signal is inputted using the Orange and Orange/White twisted wire pair of the Sensor’s interconnecting
cable. The Modline 5 senses an input and the overrides any rear panel or RS-485 settings of E-Slope or Match.
Wiring connection and scaling information are in Section 4 Sensor Wiring, page 64.
5.9.5 EMIS – Emissivity Adjustment for Brightness Sensors
Modline 5 brightness sensors and one color operation of ratio sensors require Emissivity adjustment for
accurate temperature measurement. The Emissivity value is set to the characteristics of the material
being measured using the EMIS function. Ratio sensors that are using the Attenuation Alarm feature
will need to set the sensor to a single color mode, set the correct emissivity for the target, then set the
sensor back to 2 color mode (When using the Attenuation Alarm feature, you must set the emissivity
and also the e-slope for the sensor)
1. Determine the Emissivity value of your target by referring to the instructions in Section 8
Applications Guide, page 129.
2. Select the proper Emissivity value, from the Tables in Section 8 Applications Guide, page 129 for
the surface finish.
3. The adjustable range of the Emissivity is 0.100 to 1.000. See Section 2.3 Model Configuration and
Required Selections, page 16 for Emissivity restrictions.
If the material changes characteristics or you change materials, re-determine the Emissivity for the new
material and adjust the Emissivity value.
If you are viewing your target through a window, consider the effect of window transmission loss as
described in Section 8 Applications Guide, page 129.
