The PHT-P filters are located on Change Wheel III (CHW3). Each wheel position is indicated by an integer. In the following table the filter specifications corresponding to a Change Wheel III position have been listed. The values for the spectral resolution () and airy diameter (dAiry) have been measured in laboratory. The system responses (Rmean) have been derived from in-flight data. The reference central wavelength () is defined as a wavelength close to the isophotal centre of the filter, and where possible, matching values given for filters corresponding to other ISO and IRAS instruments (see [20]).

The PHT-C filters are located in the outer circle of Change Wheel II (CHW2). In the following table the filter specifications corresponding to a Change Wheel II position have been listed. The values for the spectral resolution () and point spread function factor (fpsf) have been measured in laboratory. The system responses (Rmean) have been derived from in-flight data. The reference wavelength () is defined as a wavelength close to the isophotal centre of the filter, and where possible, matching values are given for filters corresponding to other ISO and IRAS instruments (see [20]).
The point spread function factor represents the fraction of the power in the beam falling on the whole detector array if the beam is centered on the array (the values have been derived from in-flight data, see section 9 for an explanation). The geometrical solid angles of the pixels are slightly filter dependent, their averages are:
= 0.0688 sr
= 0.281 sr

Change Wheel I (CHW1) is either used to redirect the light to the next optical
component such as PHT-S, the inner Change Wheel II and the outer Change Wheel
