6 PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECK
OSP series portable thermometers are powered either by four alkaline or by
Before using the instrument carefully verify the nominal voltage value of the charger with the available mains power line. The instrument should be used in environments where the temperature does not exceed the specified limits (from
In case of “low” battery conditions (voltage lower than 4.6 V) the display will show the appropriate symbol. A battery symbol means that the battery package has enough energy for about 20 minutes operation. In this condition the instrument batteries must be recharged.
WARNING
USE OSP IR PORTABLE THERMOMETERS TO MEASURE TEMPERATURE: 0.9 - 1.1 ∝M (OSP1600, OSP2000), 1.6 ∝M (OSP1300)
AND
IN CASE IR THERMOMETER SHOULD MEASURE DIRECT OR REFLECTED HIGH INTENSITY RADIATIONS IN THE ABOVE SPECTRAL BAND,
THEY CAN DAMAGE PERMANENTLY THE IR SENSORS INSIDE THE THERMOMETERS.
THIS KIND OF RADIATION CAN BE PRODUCED BY EITHER THE LASER TYPE ND :YAG (λEM = 1.06 ∝M) OR BY THE LASER TYPE CO2
(λEM = 10.6 ∝M).
