1.1 Introduction
The OS530E/OS520E series Handheld Infrared (IR) Thermometers
provide non-contact temperature measurements up to 4500°F. 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 information at a glance — the custom
backlit dual digital LCD displays both current and minimum,
maximum, average or differential temperatures. This versatile
instrument provides:
• Measurable target distances from 5 inches to approximately 100
feet
• Emissivity adjustable from 0.1 to 1.00 in 0.01 steps provides ease
of use when measuring a variety of surfaces.
• Built-in Laser sighting in Circle & Dot configurations.
• Thermocouple input available.
• Distance Measurement available, either field mountable or built-
in.
• An electronic trigger lock feature set via the keypad allows
continuous temperature measurement up to 10 times per second.
• Audible and visual alarms. The high and low alarm points
are set via the keypad.
• 1 mV per degree (°F or °C) analog output, which allows
interfacing with data acquisition equipment (including
chart recorders, dataloggers and computers). OS524E provides 0.5
mV/Deg.
• Last temperature recall (Hold).
• Backlit display useful in low ambient light conditions.
• Powers from 4 AA size batteries or an ac adapter.
• RS232 serial communication to a PC or printer with data logging
software. This allows downloading data for further analysis.
• Ambient target temperature compensation. This provides more
accuracy for measuring low emissivity targets.
• Record up to 800 temperature data points. Review the recorded
data on the thermometer LCD, as well as downloading the data
to a PC.
