2.3.6 Thermocouple Input (OS532, OS533, OS534)

The thermometer accepts thermocouple input. It displays
thermocouple temperature and the target temperature (via
infrared) simultaneously. This function provides an accurate
method of determining an unknown emissivity.

• To Determine an unknown target emissivity

1. Connect a contact thermocouple probe (Type K) to the

thermometer as shown in Figure 1-3.

2. Measure the object temperature using the thermocouple

probe.

3. Aim at the object and measure the temperature via infrared.

4. Press and hold the

key until the Emissivity Display

mode (E) appears.

5. Set the emissivity by pressing the

or

keys until

the temperature reading matches the thermocouple
temperature measurement.

6. The thermometer now displays the correct object

emissivity.

"TC--- is” is displayed when the thermocouple

input is open or out of range (0 to 1600°F).
