OS562 Thermometer Operating Instructions

STORAGE & CLEANING

This thermometer is a non-contact infrared thermometer. There are many mathematical modes for the infrared function. Please remember to keep away from children and don’t use it for safety-related applications.

Default Screen

Simply aim the thermometer at the measure target

with Lens 7 and press Meas. key 9 to display

the surface temperature.

The Distance:Spot is 11:1. Please make sure the

target area is within the field of view.

Laser Warning
and Certification	Laser Aperture
Label

The thermometer should be stored at room temperature between -20 and 65°C (-4 and 149°F).

The sensor lens is the most delicate part of the thermometer. The lens should be kept clean at all times. Care should be

taken when cleaning the lens; use only a soft cloth or cotton swab moistened with water or medical alcohol. Allow the lens to fully dry before using the thermometer. Do not submerge any part of the thermometer.

LCD ERROR MESSAGES

The thermometer incorporates visual diagnostic messages as follows:

		‘Hi’ or ‘Lo’ is displayed when the temperature being measured is outside of the settings of HAL and LAL.
		‘Er2’ is displayed when the thermometer is exposed to rapid changes in the ambient
		temperature. ‘Er3’ is displayed when the ambient temperature exceeds 0°C (32°F) or
		50°C (122°F). The thermometer should be allowed plenty of time (minimum 30 minutes)
_	_ _	_ to stablize to the working/room temperature.

For all other error messages, it is necessary to reset the thermometer. To reset it, turn the instrument off, remove the batteries and wait for a minimum of one minute, reinsert the batteries and turn the instrument on. If the error message remains, please contact the Customer Service department for further assistance: 1-800-622-2378or 203-359-1660.We can also be reached on the Internet at omega.com and by e-mail: info@omega.com

FUNCTION			Emissivity key is inset.
Press Emissivity key 1		for setting the emissivity. Need blunt pointed object to use.
	Press Emissivity key 1 , then press Up key 4 or Down key 2 to set the emissivity, then press
	Mode key	5 to confirm it. The emissivity can be changed from 0.10 (10E) to 1 (100E).

Press Mode key 5 for scrolling more display functions as follows.

The emissivity data will show here. (The default emissivity is 0.95.)

Press Mode key 5 for the Maximum (MAX), Minimum (MIN), Difference between MAX and

MIN (DIF) and Average (AVG) modes. During the measurement, the special modes reading will be displayed beside the mode icon.

Press Up key 4	or Down key 2 to change the High Alarm (HAL) or Lo Alarm (LAL), then
press Meas. key	9 to confirm it. For example: When the reading is 27°C with an LAL of 27.1°C, the

Low icon will flash and you will hear a beep.

Connect the thermocouple with Thermocouple socket 10 and put the probe in/on the target. The thermometer will display the temperature automatically, without your needing to press any button. To see the minimum or maximum data during the probe measurement, hold down the Up key 4

or Down key 2 .

After measuring high temps, the probe may remain HOT for while.

The thermomet er will automatically shut off if left idle for more than 60 sec, unless in PRB mode. (In PRB mode, it will shut off if left idle for more than 12 minutes.)

ADD VALUE

In MAX, MIN, DIF,		Press Up key	4	for LOCK mode ON/OFF. The lock mode is		particularly useful for
AVG mode:		continuous monitoring of temperatures for up to 60 minutes.
		Press Down key	2	for oC or oF switching.
In all modes: First		and press Up key		4	for backlight function
hold down the Meas.		ON/OFF.
key 9
		and press Down key 2			for laser function ON/OFF.

6.	Keep out of reach of all children.

BATTERIES The thermometer incorporates visual low battery indication as follows:

‘Battery OK’: measurements	‘Battery Low’: batteries need to be	‘Battery Exhausted’: measurements
are possible	replaced; measurements are still possible	are not possible

When the ‘Low Battery’ icon indicates the batteries are low, the batteries should be replaced immediately with AAA,

1.5V batteries. Please note: It is imp ortant to turn the instrument off before replacing the batteries; otherwise the thermometer may malfunction.

Dispose of used batteries promptly and keep away from children.

Caution: The measure range is for thermometer only. User should choose proper probre types for different kinds of applications. Please make sure the target to be measured will not exceed the temperature range of the probe to avoid permanent damage of the thermocouple probe.

EMC/RFI

Read ings may be affected if the unit is operated within radio frequency electromagnetic field strength of approximately 3 volts per meter, but the performance of the instrument will not be permanently affected.
