PM: Pilot Monitor’s Flame Sensitive Wavelength
The QUASAR M8100PM-EXP uses a single select filter allowing the electronics to amplify the IR
energy of interests over the background IR energy. This allows the Pilot Monitor to achieve high
sensitivity and dynamic range.
2.4.3
FM: Flare Monitor’s Flame Sensitive Wavelength
The QUASAR M8100FM-EXP uses a single select filter allowing the electronics to amplify the IR
energy of interests over the background IR energy. This allows the Flare Monitor to achieve high
sensitivity and dynamic range.

Installation Sight Assessment
a.
Verify the location is within the instrument’s design capabilities and that the
field of view will yield acceptable performance. Refer to
Chapter 3, Mechanical
Installation
, for more information.
b.
Confirm the instrument’s input power and signal output configuration is as
expected.
2.
Mechanical - ensure the correct air requirements are met:
a.
View port purge
b.
Vortex cooler (if required)
3.
Focus the instrument on the target (adjust the lens).
4.
Electrical - (Reference:
Section
10.2, Electrical Service Protection
):
a.
Connect the instrument power:
i.
The power service type is marked on the Terminal Output PC Board;
verify that it corresponds to the service type being installed.
ii.
Separate the power wires from the signal wires by routing through
separate conduit ports.
iii.
Connect the service power to TB1 on the Terminal Output PC Board.
