Page 15: Optics
User Guide Cyclops 160B Optics The Cyclops 160B has a precision reflex optical system, which provides user- focusable ‘through the lens’ sighting and gives precise definition of the target spot. The specified focal range is 1m/39.4in to infinity. 6.1 Target Size Calculation The precision reflex optical system gives a narrow field of view (180:1 to 98% energy). - Page 16 Never look at the sun through this instrument - this could cause severe damage to the eye. 6.3 Fitting a Close-up Lens To fit a close-up lens to the Cyclops 160B thermometer, unscrew the clear protection window from the lens assembly and replace it with the relevant close-up lens.
- Page 17 (1/3° circle) Display panel Temperature reading Fig. 6-2 Cyclops 160B eyepiece optics The eyepiece allows you to look into the thermometer and view the target scene. Accurate target definition is provided by the wide angle (9°) field of view and small, clearly defined (1/3°) target graticule.

Page 18: Display Panel Modes
Cyclops 160B User Guide Display Panel Modes 7.1 Introduction The LCD display panel has two basic modes of operation: • Measure Mode • Menu Mode When the thermometer is switched on, an introduction screen is displayed. This screen times-out automatically and is replaced by the Measure Mode display. - Page 19 User Guide Cyclops 160B 7.2.1 Peak temperature measurement The Peak temperature measurement mode is used to measure and display information about the highest temperatures recorded by the thermometer. The peak temperature values can be viewed in the instrument eyepiece and streamed to the Bluetooth output.
- Page 20 Cyclops 160B User Guide 7.2.2 Continuous temperature measurement Continuous temperature measurement provides the real-time observed temperature value. The temperature is updated continuously and the value is viewed in the instrument eyepiece. 7.2.3 Averaged temperature measurement Averaged temperature measurement gives a ‘smoothed’ temperature value.
- Page 21 User Guide Cyclops 160B 7.2.4 Valley temperature measurement Valley temperature measurement is the inverse of Peak temperature measurement, in that it allows you to monitor the lowest temperature value rather than the highest. Temperature measurement starts when the trigger is pressed in and continues until the trigger is released (See Fig.
- Page 22 7.3 Menu Mode When the thermometer is in Menu Mode, the menu options available in the Cyclops 160B thermometer can be accessed. This allows you to view and configure the setup of the thermometer and select the options that best suit your temperature measurement requirements.
- Page 23 User Guide Cyclops 160B 7.4 Menu Mode - Icon Descriptions The information in this chapter should be used in conjunction with the navigational flow chart (see Fig. 7-6). Exit When in Menu Mode, clicking on the exit icon (a) will return you to Measure Mode.
- Page 24 Cyclops 160B User Guide Averager time constant The averager time constant function allows you to set the rate of averaging of the temperature values taken. There are three options: Fast (i), Mid (j) and Slow (k). The default setting is Mid.

Page 27: Operational (Trigger) Modes
User Guide Cyclops 160B Operational (Trigger) Modes 8.1 Introduction The Cyclops 160B thermometer has three operating modes: • Classic • History • Burst The thermometer trigger is used to control the operation of the thermometer in each Trigger mode. The trigger has two stages: T1 and released T2 (See inset). - Page 28 Cyclops 160B User Guide 8.3 History Mode In History mode all data collection and transfer is controlled by the dual stage trigger operation. In summary, the T1 position is used to align the instrument on the chosen target and the T2 position is used to generate the logged data.
- Page 29 User Guide Cyclops 160B 8.4 Burst Mode Burst mode is only intended for use when data logging via the Bluetooth connection to an IPAQ or laptop computer. It can be used for monitoring rapid fluctuations of temperature or recording a temperature profile, such as a long strip of material.

Page 30: Thermometer Operation
Cyclops 160B User Guide Thermometer Operation CAUTION Never look at the sun through this instrument - this could cause severe damage to the eye. Prior to temperature measurement, the thermometer must be set up as dictated by the chosen application. - Page 31 User Guide Cyclops 160B 9.1 Operation (Example 1: simple temperature measurement) Switch the thermometer on via the On/Off switch. The initialisation screen will appear and, after a few seconds, the screen will change to show the measurement mode display. Check the battery status, ensure that there is sufficient battery life remaining.
- Page 32 This can lead to a reduction in the amount of radiant energy reaching the thermometer from the target. The following instructions detail the operation of a Cyclops 160B in a typical complex temperature measurement application (as in Fig. 9-1).
- Page 33 User Guide Cyclops 160B Enter the Window Compensation > On sub-menu and amend the Window Compensation factor value with the keys until the display temperature reads the same as the recorded value taken from the known value source. You must now use this Window Compensation value, as it is correct for the chosen viewing window/ port material (e.g.

Page 34: Bluetooth Wireless Communication
Pocket PC (see DL-1000 v2 User Guide) as required Establish Bluetooth communications from the Cyclops 160B to a laptop/PC/Pocket PC (see DL-1000 v2 User Guide). The Cyclops 160B requires a passkey of 0000. When Bluetooth communications is active, the Bluetooth logo on the thermometer side display holds steady and a I0I0I icon appears (a flashing logo indicates lost Bluetooth communications). -
