Guest guest Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hi All, I've read posted here that the PIR HEG Pendant can be problematic and may not function . What are the signs the device is not functioning properly and is their anyway to verify it is working correctly? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Mike - With mine the temperature reading will keep climbing from the start without any feedback. It's usually a slow but very steady increase. If you find out how to verify it's working please share as I'm curious as well.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 An engineer I was working with using HEG discovered (as engineers will) that if he put his pIR unit under his armpit and kept it there to " warm it up " to his body temperature for 5 minutes or so before starting training, he didn't have this problem. It takes the pIR units quite a while sometimes to find the temperature, since IR and room temperature are often very different. I've also found that, when I'm using a graph for feedback, I'll have to change the scale on it when the unit appears to produce just a flat line. If the graph's range is something like 60-160, changes of a degree or so can be hard to see. Seeing what the value actually is, and right-clicking the graph, choosing Properties, you can reset the scale to something more like 10 or 20 degrees bottom-to-top, and the change will be much more clear and dramatic.
