1.1 Introduction
The OS530/OS520 series Handheld Infrared (IR) Thermometers provide
•Predictive Maintenance: Tracking temperature shifts which indicate pending failure in solenoid valves.
•Energy Auditing: Locating wall insulation voids to reduce building heating costs.
•Food Processing: Taking accurate temperature readings without direct contact with the food or packaging material.
The IR thermometer provides information at a glance — the custom backlit dual digital LCD displays both current and minimum, maximum, average or differential temperatures. This versatile instrument provides:
•Measurable target distances from 5 inches to approximately 100 feet
•Emissivity adjustable from 0.1 to 1.00 in 0.01 steps provides ease of use when measuring a variety of surfaces.
•
•Thermocouple input available.
•An electronic trigger lock feature set via the keypad allows continuous temperature measurement up to 4 times per second.
•Audible and visual alarms. The high and low alarm points are set via the keypad.
•1 mV per degree (°F or °C) analog output, which allows interfacing with data acquisition equipment (including chart recorders, dataloggers and computers). OS524 provides 0.5 mV/Deg.
•Last temperature recall.
•Backlit display useful in low ambient light conditions.
•Powers from 4 AA size batteries or an ac adapter.
•RS232 serial communication to a PC or printer. This allows downloading data for further analysis.
•Ambient target temperature compensation. This provides more accuracy for measuring low emissivity targets.
•Record up to 100 temperature data points. Review the recorded data on the thermometer LCD, as well as downloading the data to a PC.
