Section 1 – INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

MODLINE 4 is an infrared thermometer with a built-in two

wire transmitter. Power it up with a 16 to 40 volt direct

current source and you get a 4 to 20 mA current (maximum)

that varies linearly with temperature. You can use this

current to operate a 4 to 20 mA indicator, recorder, con-

troller or datalogger – or a combination of devices in

the series. Figure 1.1 shows the basic electrical circuit.

This instrument is built for long, trouble-free service in even

the harshest environments. Everything is packaged in

sealed aluminum casting rated NEMA 4. The instrument

can be ordered with a water-cooled casting for operation

in high ambient temperatures.

The lens is recessed and sealed in the front of the casting.

A screw-on back cover with torquing slots gives access to

the adjustments and connections (see figure 1.2). A 1/2

inch NPT conduit hub is provided for wiring. NOTE: The

back cover of the water-cooled enclosure has a pair of

torquing studs.

The MODLINE 4 is easy to install, operate and maintain.

The lens is pre-adjusted and sealed so you don’t have to

make optical adjustments. Just choose a clear sight path

with no obstructions, aim the sensor at the object you want

to measure and read the temperature on your indicator.

The controls on the back panel allow you to adjust for

emissivity of the material you are measuring and for the

most suitable response time for your process. If the instru-

ment includes a peak picker (block D of model number

= 1), an additional control is provided for peak picker

decay time. As long as your process stays the same, you

will make these adjustments only once when you set

up the instrument.

The high-level current signal (20 mA maximum) minimizes

noise problems often associated with long cable runs.

Twisted pair cable with an overall shield is all you need

for most applications.

Seven different MODLINE 4 series that differ in spectral

responses, cover a wide variety of processes. Temperature

ranges covering 0 to 2500°F and 0 to 1300°C are available.

Note: General illustrations in this manual that show the

standard MODLINE 4 casting also apply to instruments

with water-cooled castings.

Section 1 – INTRODUCTION

1.2 HOW IT WORKS

The MODLINE 4 works on a simple principle. A heated

object radiates infrared energy, and the intensity of

radiation depends on the temperature of the object. By

measuring the radiation intensity, it is possible to measure

the temperature without contacting the object.

Fig. 1.3 shows a MODLINE 4 series with a digital meter

across a DC power supply. The current in this circuit is

determined by the MODLINE 4.

Infrared radiation enters the lens of the MODLINE 4

and is focused on an infrared detector. The detector

converts infrared energy to an electrical signal that

varies with the intensity of infrared radiation. This

signal is amplified, linearized, and scaled to the desired

temperature range by the MODLINE 4 electronic circuits.

The resulting output current causes the pointer to deflect

on the meter. If the meter scale is matched to the MOD-

LINE 4 range, it’s a simple matter to read temperature

values directly from the scale.

Fig. 1.3 shows how the MODLINE 4 measures a change

in temperature. Assume the MODLINE 4 is scaled for

the 500 to 1500°F range. The circuit current is 4 mA

when the MODLINE 4 is viewing a 500°F target and

20 mA when viewing a 1500°F target. The current

varies linearly between 4 and 20 mA for temperatures

between 500 and 1500°.

In Fig. 1.3a, the target temperature is 500°F. The target

will radiate a certain intensity of infrared energy at

this temperature. When the MODLINE 4 senses this

radiation, it causes 4 mA current in the meter. The

pointer rests at the lowest scale limit (500°).

Figures 1.3b and 1.3c shows what happens when

target temperatures increases. The MODLINE 4 detects

more infrared radiation, and the meter current increases

to display higher temperature readings.

Summarizing the action, the MODLINE 4 provides a DC

current proportional to the infrared energy it senses.

This current can be fed through a variety of current-

sensitive devices to indicate temperature or provide a

desired control action.

1.4 OPTICAL RESOLUTION

The MODLINE 4 detector “sees” a certain area

(spot on a target surface. The diameter of the

spot is determined by the design on the

optical system and by the distance to the

ttarget.

Fig. 1.4 is a plot of spot sizes at every incre-

ment of distance from the front flange of the

MODLINE 4. The three dimensional “Cone of

Vision” defines the viewing area of the

MODLINE 4 at any given distance. Anything

inside the cone is in the field of view and

anything outside of the field of view is not.

If unobstructed, the cone of vision would expand

to infinity. But in practice, you aim it so it falls

on a target at some finite distance. In Fig. 1.4

below, the cone of vision falls on the target at

the separation distance (D). At this distance,

the diameter of the cone or viewing area on

the target surface will have a spot size (d).

1-4

Note that if you move the MODLINE 4 a little

closer the target will intersect a smaller cross

section of the cone and give you a smaller spot.

Moving it further away will give you a larger spot.

Spot size/separation distance relationships for

the MODLINE 4 are give in the Model Indentifi-

cation table (see section 1.5). This relationship

defines the optical resolution or the smallest

target the instrument can measure at any given

distance. If the spot is larger than the target, the

output current will be influenced partly by the

target temperature and partly by the background

temperature, and the instrument will give a false

temperature reading.

The importance of resolving the target will be

emphasized in the installation procedures.
