Omega Engineering OS533E manual Laser Sighting Status, Calculating Temperature Values

Using the Handheld Infrared Thermometer 2

2.3.5 Laser Sighting Status

In the LSR display menu, the status of the laser sighting is shown either as Flashing (FLS) or continuous (on). Pressing the LOCK key will change the status from flashing to continuous and vise versa. There is a slide laser power switch on the left side of the thermometer's case. Set the power switch to ON position, and pull the trigger. The laser beam will turn on (either flashing or continuous depending on the status) as long as the trigger is pulled. Releasing the trigger will automatically turn off the laser beam.

2.3.6 Calculating Temperature Values

The thermometer calculates the MAX, MIN, dIF, and AVG temperatures based on the current temperature.

°F

is the maximum temperature since the temperature measurement session starts (pulling the trigger).

°F

is the minimum temperature since the temperature measurement session starts.

°F

is the difference between the MAX and MIN temperatures.

°F

is the true average temperature since the temperature measurement session starts. The average temperature under continuous operation is accurate for a limited period of time (refer to the specifications). However, the AVG temperature function can be used indefinitely when the thermometer is operating intermittently.

°F

“AVG ---” is displayed when either of the following conditions occur:

1.When the average temperature measurement reaches its time period as stated in the specifications.

2.When the thermometer is trying to measure a target temperature which is outside of its measuring temperature range. At this time the corresponding MAX, MIN, dlF parameters shows _ _ _.

To clear the “AVG ---” display, press the LOCK key to reset or turn off the thermometer.

NOTE

Every time the thermometer goes from the sleep mode to the Real Time mode (by pulling the trigger) or pressing the

LOCK key

(see Table 2-1) the MAX, MIN, dIF, and AVG values are reset.
