Chapter One - Welcome to Infrared Thermometry 1.1 Introduction Omega Engineering, the world's leading manufacturer of infrared temperature systems, presents the low cost OS950™ Series of hand held infrared thermometers. These dual-purpose systems function as both NIST trace- able temperature calibrators and thermal scanning devices.
OS956 0 to 1600°F (86 to 871°C) Unit includes a Remote Sensor , 9 V DC Alkaline Battery and OS950 Instruction Manual. Also available with an RS232 Digital Output and an Analog Output.
The instrument now reads in °C instead of °F . T o return to the original setting, simply repeat the process. 2.3 T o Change Mode of Operation The OS950 Models come from the factory operating in the MAX mode. T o change to the SCAN mode perform the fol- lowing steps: 1.
2.4.2 T emperature Measurement of Moving T argets T o measure moving targets that are not possible to touch, use the following procedure: 1. Press and hold the MEASURE button. 2. The display will briefly show [8888]. 3. Bring the nosepiece as close as possible to the target, preferably within 1/32 inch (1 mm).
5. Record the temperature from the display . 6. Release the MEASURE button. The last reading will remain locked on the display for 10 seconds after releasing the button. 2.6 SCAN Mode T emperature Measurements Use this measurement mode for thermal scanning of a tar- get or when measuring targets located at a distance.
3.2 Measuring Metallic T argets In general, infrared thermometers can easily measure non- metallic surfaces because they emit most of their potential heat. Metallic surfaces, on the other hand, are poor emit- ters and require special treatment before infrared ther- mometers can accurately measure their temperature.
heat. As long as the ice is not melting, the OS950 will accurately read its temperature. T o make an accurate target measurement, remove any ice or moisture before measuring. Chapter Four - Maintenance The high-performance OS950 is a rugged and durable instrument, designed for long term performance reliability .
If the [E-##] or [Err] error messages are displayed, the unit will not function and must be returned to the factory for repair . (See section on W arranty for return instruction). The following charts summarize the fault condition, and the associated indication.
5.2 T roubleshooting Measurement Difficulties If you experience measurement problems, review the fol- lowing troubleshooting steps: Is the sensor window clean? Clean the sensor window and reflective cup and repeat the measurement.
