thermoMETER CTL
1.4 Intended Use
- The thermoMETER CTL is designed for use in industrial and laboratory areas. It is used for non-contact
temperature measurement.
- The system must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see 3.
- The system must be used in such a way that no persons are endangered or machines and other material
goods are damaged in the event of malfunction or total failure of the sensor.
- Take additional precautions for safety and damage prevention in case of for safety-related applications.
1.5 Proper Environment
- Protection class:
 Sensor: IP 65 (NEMA 4)
 Controller: IP 65 (NEMA 4)
- Ambient temperature:
 Sensor
1
: -20 ... +85 °C (-4 ... +185 °F), see also Chapter Measurement
Specification, see 3.3
 Controller
2
: 20 ... +85 °C (-4 ... +185 °F), see also Chapter Measurement
Specification, see 3.3
Avoid abrupt changes of the ambient temperature of both the sensor and the controller.
> Inaccurate measuring values
- Storage temperature:
 Sensor: See also Chapter Measurement Specification, see 3.3
 Controller: -40 ... +85 °C (-40 ... +185 °F)
- Humidity: 10 ... +95 %, non-condensing
1) The sensor can be used at ambient temperatures up to +85 °C without cooling. For applications, where
the ambient temperature can reach higher values, the usage of the optional water cooled housing, see Chap.
A 1.3, is recommended (ambient temperature up to +175 °C). The sensor should be equipped with the op-
tional high temperature cable (ambient temperature up to +180 °C), see A 1.4
2) With temperatures < 0 °C (+32 °F), display function is not guaranteed any more.
