CAUTION & SAFETY INFORMATION
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
The Installation category is one (1).
The output terminals of this product are for use with equipment (digital
meters, chart recorders, etc.) which have no accessible live parts. Such
equipment should comply with all the applicable safety requirements.
Do not operate the equipment in flammable or explosive environments.
The unit comes with two 4.6 m (15') shielded multi-conductor cables. The
sensor cable is a five conductor, 24 AWG stranded wire with a rating of 600
Vdc, 205°C (401°F) PTF insulation. The power/output cable is an eight
conductor 24 AWG stranded wire with rating of 300 Vdc, 105°C (221 °F)
PVC insulation.
Power must be disconnected before making any electrical connections.
The recommended power supply should be VD or UL approved. Rating: 8-
24 Vdc @ 100 mA minimum power with overload protection, current limited
to 500 mA.
The supply voltage to the transmitter should not exceed 24 VDC.
There is only one fuse in the OS550A. Disconnect power before replacing the
fuse. The fuse must be replaced with one of identical size and rating. Fuse
Specifications: 125 mA/250 Vac, Time-lag, 5 x 20 mm with UL and/or VD
Approvals such as Wickmann No. 19195-028.
All connections made to the thermometer should be made via a stranded
wire, shielded cable, 24 AWG (min), such as OM GA ngineering's Model
TX4 or TX8 series. Wiring requirements for this unit are Class II.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND IEC SYMBOLS
This device is marked with international safety and hazardous symbols in
accordance with I C1010. It is important to read and follow all the
precautions and instructions in this manual before operating or
commissioning this device as it contains important information relating to
safety and MC. Failure to follow all the safety precautions may result in
injury and/or damage to your equipment.

General Description 1
1.1 Introduction
The OS550A Series Industrial Infrared (IR) Thermometers provide
non-contact temperature measurement up to 4500°F (2482°C). They
offer effective solutions for many non-contact temperature
applications, including the following:
•Predictive aintenance: 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.
•Annealing Processing: Monitoring surface temperatures of
metals while it is inside an oven by seeing through glass
window.
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 inches (12.7 cm) to
approximately 200 feet (61 m)
• missivity 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 10 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, data loggers and computers)
• Two way RS232 serial communication to a PC. This allows
downloading data for further analysis (OS552A, OS553A
and OS554A, OS555A).
• Ambient target temperature compensation. This provides
more accuracy for measuring low emissivity targets.
• Record up to 800 temperature data points either continuos or
on demand. Review the recorded data on the thermometer
LCD, as well as downloading the data to a PC (OS553A and
OS554A, OS555A).
• Backlit display useful in low ambient light conditions
• Laser Sighting is optional.
• High and Low Alarm outputs to drive external Mechanical
Relays
