Mounting instructions:

1. Select a representative area of the surface you want to study.

2. Ensure that the area of interest is flat, dry, and free of dust and grease.

Clean the Sensor surface with ethanol or isopropanol. Do not use acids or

alkali for cleaning the Sensor.

3. Apply the Sensor using any of the above described mounting substances.

When mounting the Sensor, make sure no air is trapped between the

surface and the Sensor. Air gaps are thermally insulating and heavily

distort the measurement results.

4. Mount the Sensor with the positive side of the Sensor in the direction of

the expected positive heat flux (as described in Section 5.1).

Do not apply more than 200 N per cm

2 of compressive force to the Sensor

at any time.

5. In order to ensure meaningful results, we recommend making the

exposed Sensor surface similar to the finish of the surface to be measured.

For example, if the surface to be measured is covered with white paint, you

will get maximum accuracy by painting the Sensor surface with the same

paint.
