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.
