1.1 Introduction

The OS530/OS520 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.

• An electronic trigger lock feature set via the keypad allows

continuous temperature measurement up to 4 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). OS524

provides 0.5 mV/Deg.

• Last temperature recall.

• 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. This allows

downloading data for further analysis.

• 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.

General Description

1-2

The thermometer is easy to use:

• Units have standard “V” groove aiming sights.

• Integral tripod mount permits hands-free operation, if

necessary.

• Temperature readings are switchable from °F to °C via the

keypad.

• Parameters, such as target material emissivity and alarm

setpoints, can be set and remain in memory until reset.

This instrument has a rugged and functional design, including:

• Sealed keypad display.

• Convenient trigger operation.

• Soft carrying case and wrist strap, for safety and ease of

carrying.

• Rubber boot around the lens and the display.
