Mechanical Installation

INFO: To meet the high accuracy, the instrument should be recalibrated when replacing an
optics or or the fiber optic cable.
NOTE: To prevent the ingress of dirt, remove the protective caps from the pyrometer and op-
tics and fiber just before installation.
Keep the protective caps to be able to protect against dirt in any subsequent dismantling or
storage.
The optical fiber has to be mounted true-sided:
The colored heat shrink tube marker matches to the
pyrometer side.
The optics fit on the side without marking
Unscrew the optical fiber protective tube from the py-
rometer’s housing
Pull the protective tube somewhat about the optical fi-
ber on the colored side to avoid pulling it over the
complete fiber after fiber assembly.
Remove the protective caps from the pyrometer and
optical fiber, insert the side with the turn protected fiber
connector to the pyrometer, and make sure that pin and
recess snap together.
Tighten lock nut hand-tight (do not use a tool, otherwise
the screw or optical fiber can be damaged).
Finally screw the protective tube back on the pyrometer
housing.
5.2.4 Connect the Optics
Remove the protective caps from optical fiber and
optics
The fiber-optic connectors on the side of the optics
does not require special adjustment and is just
plugged and screwed
Tighten lock nut hand-tight (do not use a tool, other-
wise the screw or optical fiber can be damaged).
5.3 Ambient Temperature
M308, M309 and M316 are designed for ambient temperatures between 0 and 80°C
M318 models should only be used up to 60°C to maintain measurement accuracy
M323 is designed for ambient temperatures up to 70°C
H3 models are permissible up to maximum 65°C.
Fiber optic devices can be exposed on optics and optical fiber to ambient temperatures between -20
and 250°C without cooling, for the housing the same temperatures apply as for standard devices.
Connector pyrometer’s side

Ambient temperature on
optics side max. 250°C
