3.2 Sighting
The IS 6 Advanced / IGA 6 Advanced can be purchased with Through-Lens Sighting (viewfinder)
or with a Laser Targeting Light. These sighting options allow you to easily align the pyrometer
to the measuring object.
3.2.1 Viewfinder
The IS 6 Advanced / IGA 6 Advanced can be equipped with a viewfinder which offers through-
lens sighting. The viewfinder is true-sided and parallax-free. A circle marks the position of the
measuring spot, but not the exact spot size.
The viewfinder is equipped with an adjustable eye-protection filter, which allows you to view
hot objects without exposing your eye to high intensity light. When you are viewing hot objects,
turn the adjustment ring on the viewfinder so the filter will let in less light.
Warning: To ensure eye protection, make sure you use the shaded filter when
viewing objects with temperatures of 1500 °C or higher.
Note: You can turn the adjustment ring on the viewfinder in both a clockwise and
counterclockwise direction to change the filter from light to dark.
When you are viewing low temperature objects, turn the viewfinder adjustment ring so the
filter will let in more light.
3.2.2 Laser Targeting Light
The IS 6 Advanced / IGA 6 Advanced can be equipped with a laser targeting light to assist with
aligning the pyrometer to the measuring object. The laser targeting light is a visible red light
with a wavelength between 630 and 680 nm and a maximum power of 1 mW. The laser is
classified as product of laser class II.
The laser spot marks the center of the measuring spot on the target. The diameter does not
correspond to the spot size. The smallest diameter of the laser spot approximately indicates the
measuring distance.
Warning: The instrument is equipped with a class II laser
that emits radiation.
To reduce the risk of injury to the eyes, do not look directly
into the targeting laser and do not point the targeting laser
into anyone's eyes.
