Can I trust the temperature measurement of a single pixel?

Due to the diffraction-limited nature of infrared optics, the optical resolution and image quality are physically limited. As the dimensions of the individual pixels are in the same range as the infrared wavelength, users shall ensure that the target is larger than the camera’s MFOV.

What is the speed of the Xi 410 in the autonomous operation?

1.5 Hz

How do I configure the IP addresses for the Xi410 cameras?

Use the PIXConnect software to configure Ethernet settings and the autonomous mode.

Does the camera support DHCP in the Ethernet mode?

No, the camera must be assigned to a static IP address.

Do I need software to run the infrared camera?

No, the infrared camera can run without the support of a computer. However, for setup and configuration, the software PIXConnect is necessary.

Is the Ethernet cable included?

The PoE adapter to utilize Ethernet is included in the standard scope of supply.

Can I use the XI 410 with metals or glass?

Other infrared cameras from Optris perform better with that material as they work in a different spectral band.

How do I focus the camera?

The motorized focus can be set with the PIXConnect software. In the PIXConnect software, click on the “distance” button in the toolbar and use the slider.

Where is the Xi 410 made, and does it contain memory components sourced from outside the U.S. or the European Union?

The Xi 410 is designed, manufactured, and calibrated in Berlin, Germany. Some electronic components may be sourced from outside the EU or the US. Still, it is important to note that the Xi 410 does not store any thermal images or temperature values in volatile memory. The Xi 410 only stores full thermal images, thermal video (.ravi files), and temperature values in the customer PC hosting the PIX Connect software necessary to operate the camera. The camera uses memory components inside the camera electronics, which may be sourced outside the EU or the US to store a reference picture (also called dark picture) of the non-uniformity correction paddle or flag and some reference temperatures used to correct temperature drift. All these memory elements are deleted when the power to the camera head is terminated.

Can the Xi 410 operate without a connection to a computer?

The Xi 410 can calculate the temperature autonomously without a computer. The temperature data can either be transmitted the USB or Ethernet interface or output via the process interface. Fieldbus communication is also available.

Can the Xi 410 send temperature information from spots or areas to my PLC?

The Xi 410 can send temperature information or temperature alarms from the Process Interface connection on the back of the camera. A cable with integrated electronics and a terminal block is included with the camera. It can be programmed in PIX Connect software as an Analog Input (AI) and Digital Input (DI) to control the camera or as an Analog Output (AO) to control the process. The signal level is always 0-10 V (DI = 24 V). An optional industrial process interface is also available, delivering up to three independent temperature values or alarms to a user-supplied PLC. USB-RS485 adapters are available for applications with output requirements for more than three areas.
