An octal detector sensing module is located within an aluminium alloy housing which is mounted by means of an adjustable bracket permitting alignment in both vertical and horizontal planes.
The housing is equipped with a purge spigot for coupling to a 45mm I/D air hose. In most cases the air supply for the 5010 infrared sensor is provided by a Series 5000 centrifugal blower unit.
The infra-red detector is operated in conjunction with a 5020 controller, and the housing is fitted with internal screw terminals for connection to the controller cable. The housing is also fitted with a pressure swich.
The sensing module fits to the housing by means of a connector and thus may be readily de-mounted (upon removal of the housing cover) without disturbance to cable connections.
The injected air exits via the IR lens aperture thus preventing ingress / settlement of dust. The pressure switch monitors the air supply.

The "detection response" chart indicates the correlation between the temperature and size of ‘hot spot’ anomalies for a typical installation to produce one or more detector channel activations at various trigger level settings. Exact response is dependant on the emissivity factor of the monitored material, sensor orientation and target speed.
