2. Target Objects• Non-problematic objects
Food, paper, plastics, cloth, leather, cigarettes, medicine, chemicals, rubber, asphalt, coal, etc.
• Difficult objects
Plated lustrous metals, uncoated or unpainted metals, etc.
• Slightly problematic objects
Low lustrous metals, thin transparent plastics, etc.

If measurement is difficult, black body tape can be used to raise emissivity.

3. Installation
Ensure the installation location corresponds to the following conditions.
• The sensing head should be kept as close as possible to the object.
• The ambient temperature of this sensor should not exceed 70 (158 ).
• The sensor lens should be protected from being covered with powder, dust, etc.
• Use an air purge collar (APSW or APSN, sold separately) when using this sensor in a place where a lot offumes, dust or moisture is present (Airflow: 0.5 to 1.5 liter/sec)• Install this sensor away from electrical noise, motors or generators.
For the mounting method of the Fixed-mounting bracket (FBS, sold separately) and Adjustable-mountingbracket (ABS, sold separately), see page 3.
For the mounting method of the Air purge collar (APSW or APSN, sold separately), see page 4.

3.3 Mounting Method of the Air Purge Collar (APSW or APSN, sold separately)
The air purge collar is used to suppress the temperature rise of the sensor body, and to keep dust, etc.
away from the lens.
• Applicable airflow for the air purge collar: 0.5 to 1.5 liter/min• The sensor will operate in ambient temperature up to 70 , so be careful not to exceed 70 of ambient
temperature when using the sensor.
• Blow air clean and suitable for measurement.

4. Wiring
Warning
Turn OFF the power supply to the indicator/controller before wiring.
Working on or touching the terminal with the power switched ON may result in severe injury ordeath due to electric shock.
4.1 Note about Wiring• When using the sensor in an environment where electrical noise is present, use a shielded wire, andconnect it to the ground terminal of the indicator/controller.
If the indicator/controller does not have a ground terminal, connect to the ground terminal of the control
panel.

5. Operation
Attention• If ambient temperature is rapidly changing, leave the sensor for more than 20 minutes as it is, thenmeasure the temperature.
• Do not measure temperature near a large magnetic field (example: Arc welding machine, induction
heater, etc.). Measurement errors will be caused due to electromagnetic disturbance.
After completing installation for the target object and wiring, start operation following the procedures below.
(1) Turn the power to the sensor ON (RDP-24).
(2) Turn ON the power to the indicator/controller (ACS-13A- /A).
(3) Measure the temperature.
