2 Introduction 2.1 Appropriate use The IS 8 pro and IGA 8 pro pyrometers are high-quality, battery powered portables for noncontact temperature measurement between 250 and 2500 °C, dependent on the type. The instruments have full digital signal processing, which results in long measurement ranges as well as very high accuracy. The instruments are mainly used in the steel, glass, forging industries as well as in foundries.

3 Controls and Installation 3.1 Battery insertion The pyrometer requires six (alkaline-manganese or rechargeable) batteries to operate. The batteries must be inserted into the battery holder with correct polarity connections. In addition, ensure that the battery case correctly touches the contacts in the handle. Battery case cover Handle with battery case Locking screws 3.2 Switching on The pyrometer can be switched on and off with the 2-stage push button on the handle. 3.2.
Single value storage (Setting INT = OFF, see Section 5.4): HOLD °C With single value storage, the current measured value is saved at the second trigger point. This value appears on the rear display and in the CELL view finder when the push button is held in the second trigger point. The assigned storage slot appears briefly in the LC display as "CELL#" together with the storage slot number. When memory is full, a beep sounds and the display shows "MEM 100%".
3.3.1 Turning right: +3 dpt Adjustment of the diopter adaptor Since most people have a light ametropia, the view finder is equipped with an adjustable diopter adaptor. The diopter adjuster has no visual zero position and has to be adjusted individually so that focusing the objective shows the correct distance values at the line mark.
Close-up lens / protection window If using the close-up lens, the emissivity setting of the instrument (EMI) has to be corrected with the following factor (emissivity see 5.1) due to reduced measuring signal: IS 8 pro or IGA 8 pro with close-up lens: IS 8 pro or IS 8-GS pro with protection window: = 0.92 x object protection window = 0.93 x close-up lens object IGA 8 pro with protection window: protection window = 0.94 x object 3.3.
4 Display functions / adjustment buttons PAR ENT The pyrometers are equipped with extensive adjustment options for optimal adaptation to the relevant measurement condition. They are controlled by the adjustment buttons on the left side of the instrument. 4.1 Displays and adjusting special displays / parameters Pressing the PARameter push button repeatedly brings up the following functions one after the other. They appear in the bottom left of the LC display in short form.
4.2 Switching between numeric and graphic display NUM GRAPH Two different temperature displays are available: numeric and graphic. Pressing the NUM/GRAPH button switches between the displays (switching between these displays is possible either in measurement mode or subsequently while viewing the measured values. The subsequent display also contains some additional information, see 5.
5 Parameter descriptions / Settings The pyrometer is equipped with a wide range of settings for optimal adaptation to the required measuring condition and to measure the temperature correctly. 5.1 Emissivity For a correct measurement, it is necessary to adjust the emissivity. The emissivity is the relationship between the emission of a real object and the emission of a blackbody radiation source (this is an object which absorbs all incoming rays and has an emissivity of 100%) at the same temperature.
5.2 Maximum value display MAX If the MAX function is activated (MAX = ON), the highest value reached °C during a measurement process appears. This will be the value that is saved (second trigger point on the push button). This storage function can be used, for example, with greatly fluctuating temperatures or to record MAX measuring objects that are only in the measuring spot briefly. Maximum value storage is automatically deleted with every new measurement, i.e. every time the push button is pressed.
Saved measured value Parameter mode PAR Set emissivity Current block + numb. of blocks Date when measured values were recorded Storage cell parameters Arrow keys: EMI: MODE: Block: No.: Date / time: MEM CELL (Nr.): Add. measurement mode if any Measured value no. + number of values in the °C MODE Block MEM Time when measured values were recorded Storage slot of the measured value CELL The arrow keys can be used to display all the temperature values in a block one after the other.
5.8 Deleting measured value memory CLR Pressing the CLR push button (clear) activates delete mode for data storage (not possible during a storage process). Individual values, blocks or all stored values can be deleted: Delete individual value: Select NUM mode and press CLR to delete individual values. CLEAR CELL with a storage slot number appears in the display (at the bottom). The arrow keys can be used to select an individual value. "CONFIRM WITH ENTER" flashes in the display.
6 Software PortaWin Pyrometers are equipped with a digital USB interface that can be used to connect the pyrometer with a PC. Optional PortaWin software can be used to store measured values. Then the data can be accessed later and evaluated in graphical or table format (for connection cable and software see Chapter 9, Reference numbers). If the push button is activated up to the second trigger point, the current measured value is sent to the interface.

7 Maintenance 7.1 Cleaning the front window Since the device does not contain parts that require regular maintenance, the only regular maintenance required is periodic inspection of the front window for build-up of foreign particiles. If allowed to build up, the particles can influence the energy received by the instrument. The window is not water soluable and can be cleaned with standard lens tissue dampened with a commercially available glasses or camera lens cleaning solution.

8 Troubleshooting Before sending the pyrometer for repair, try to find the error and to solve the problem with the help of the following list. Temperature indication too low Incorrect alignment of the pyrometer to the object New correct alignment to achieve the max. temperature signal Measuring object is smaller than spot size Choose correct measuring distance Measuring object is not always in the measuring spot of the pyrometer (e.g. swinging wire or pouring stream) Use max.
