9 OPERATIONS

OSP series portable infrared thermometers are factory calibrated before shipment.

During the start-up the operator should only select and load, if required, the pertinent application parameter as described in the following paragraphs.

Before entering the procedure to operate the instrument it is useful the understanding of the messages that can be present in the display.

The following figure shows the overall layout of the display and an explanation of each symbol or message :

9.1Quick Start

To use the OSP infrared thermometer right away follow this simple steps :

Point the instrument at the object you want to measure and pull the trigger (the actual temperature value, the pre- programmed emissivity value and the auxiliary indication will be displayed); a “LOCK” symbol will appear on display.

Set emissivity value using the <▲> and <▼> keys. Refer to appendix A to define emissivity and for emissivity tables. Press and release the trigger to switch the unit off.

9.2How to Operate the instrument

To switch the instrument “On” keep the trigger pressed; when the trigger is released the instrument will be switched “Off”. When continuous operations are required press twice, in sequence, the trigger to lock the operative mode.
