1.1 Introduction

The OS550 Series Industrial Infrared (IR) Thermometers provide non-contact temperature measurement up to 2500°F (1371°C). They offer effective solutions for many non-contact temperature applications, including the following:

•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 a custom backlit dual digital LCD that displays both current and minimum, maximum, average or differential temperatures. This versatile instrument provides:

•Measurable target distances from 5" to approximately 200'

•Emissivity adjustable from 0.1 to 1.00 in 0.01 steps provides ease of use when measuring a variety of surfaces.

•Continuous temperature measurement up to 4 times per second.

•Audible and visual alarms. The high and low alarm points are set via the keypad.

•Analog output, 1 mV/degree,4-20mA or 0-5VDC

which allows interfacing with data acquisition equipment (including chart recorders, dataloggers and computers)

•RS232 serial communication to a PC or printer. This allows downloading data for further analysis (OS552, OS553 and OS554 only).

•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 (OS553 and OS554 only).

•Last temperature recall.

•Backlit display useful in low ambient light conditions

•Laser Sighting is optional.
