General Description  
1.1 Introduction  
The OS530E/OS520E 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.  
• Distance Measurement available, either field mountable or built-  
in.  
• Digital/Video Camera Option available  
• An electronic trigger lock feature set via the keypad allows  
continuous temperature measurement up to 10 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). OS524E provides 0.5  
mV/Deg.  
• Last temperature recall (Hold).  
• 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 800 temperature data points. Review the recorded  
data on the thermometer LCD, as well as downloading the data  
to a PC.

Using the Handheld Infrared Thermometer  
2.2 Operating the Thermometer  
1a. (Without the Laser Sighting) -Aim the thermometer at the target to  
be measured. Use the “V” groove (shown in Figure 1-1) on top of  
the thermometer to align the target to the thermometer’s field of  
view. Look down the “V” groove with one eye only, in order to  
guarantee proper sighting. Pull and hold the trigger.  
1b. (With the Laser Sighting) - Set the laser power switch to the  
ON position. Aim at the target and pull the trigger. The laser  
beam and the red power indicator LED will turn on while the  
trigger is pulled. Refer to Chapter 3 for more details on the Laser  
Sighting.  
2.  
The field of view of the thermometer should fall within the area  
of the target being measured as shown in Figure 2-2. Figures 2-3  
through 2-9 show the field of view vs distance for the various  
thermometers.

device to the target, otherwise an erroneous reading will result.  
• For accurate distance measurement readings, the surface  
must be hard, flat, and reflective to ultrasonic pulse.  
• Distance measurement can not be taken through glass, or  
off of soft and padded surfaces, or through smoke or fog.  
• The distance measurement unit must be held perpendicular  
to the target surface.  
• The distance measurement unit is designed for indoor use only.  
• Accuracy of the distance measurement unit will vary  
depending on environmental conditions.  
• Do not aim the distance measurement unit at a person.

Laser Sighting  
3.2 Description  
The Laser Sighting is built into the thermometer. It provides a visual  
indication of the field of view of the thermometer. Aiming at distant  
targets (up to 40 feet) becomes much easier by using the Laser  
Sighting. It is offered in two different models, laser dot, and laser  
dot/circle switchable. The Laser can be set to either flashing or  
continous.

3.3 Operating the Laser Sighting  
1. Set the laser power switch to the ON position as shown in  
Figure 3-2.  
2. Aim at the target and pull the trigger.  
3. The laser beam and the red power indicator LED will turn on.  
Refer to Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2.  
The laser beam will stay on as long as the trigger is pulled.  
LOCK  
If the trigger is locked (the  
key is previously pressed) or  
released, the laser beam will turn off. In order to turn on the  
Laser Sighting, pull the trigger again.  
4. Depending on the model, the laser dot/circle switch allows the user  
to switch between laser dot and laser circle. The laser dot provides  
visibility at longer distances.  
Figure 3-3 shows the two different laser configurations. The laser  
Dot indicates the center of the field of view of the thermometer.  
The laser Circle indicates the perimeter of the thermometer’s field  
of view.  
The visibility of the laser beam depends on the ambient light levels.

Laser Sighting  
NOTE  
The Laser Sighting turns on only when used with the  
thermometer. The module does not turn on by itself.  
The line of sight of the thermometer does not coincide with that of  
the Laser Sighting, as shown in Figure 3-4. The two lines of sight  
become less critical when measuring distant targets. For example, at  
30 feet from the target and a 3 foot diameter target size, there is a  
2.7% offset error with respect to the target size. For close-up targets,  
first make sure the target fills the laser circle, then point it with the  
center of the beam approximately 1" below the center of the target.  
A simple method to make infrared measurements is to scan the laser  
beam across the target area vertically and horizontally and recall  
measurements of maximum for hot and minimum for cold target  
(compared to the background) to obtain the correct temperature.

Sighting Scope  
4.1 Sighting Scope  
The Sighting scope is an accessory for the thermometer. It provides a visual  
indication of the target being measured. Aiming at distant targets (up to 200  
feet) becomes much easier by using the Sighting scope.  
4.2 Installing and Operating the Sighting Scope  
1. If the sighting scope is already installed on the thermometer,  
go onto step 5.  
2. The sighting scope comes with a pair of mounting clamps  
already attached.  
3. Slide the pair of mounting clamps over the ”V“ groove of the  
thermometer from back to front as shown in FIG 4-1. DO NOT remove  
the protective label from the laser sight power contacts.  
4. Using the two mounting screws of the clamp, tighten the sighting scope  
to the pair of clamps and the thermometer.  
5. Look through the sighting scope at an arm’s length. You will see  
a crosshair indicating the center of the target being measured.  
6. Aim at the target and pull the trigger.  
Since the sighting scope mounts on top of the thermometer, the line of  
sight of the thermometer does not coincide with that of the sighting  
scope, as shown in Fig. 4-1. The distance between the two lines of sight  
11  
(1 ⁄16") becomes less critical compared to the target size when  
measuring distant targets (50 feet and longer).

Appendix: How Infrared Thermometry Works  
Thermal Radiation  
Heat is transferred from all objects via radiation in the form of  
electromagnetic waves or by conduction or convection. All objects  
having a temperature greater than absolute zero  
(-273°C, -459°F, 0 K) radiate energy. The thermal energy radiated  
by an object increases as the object gets hotter. Measurement of this  
thermal energy allows an infrared thermometer to calculate the  
object’s temperature if the emissivity (blackness) is known.  
Generally, it is convenient to measure the amount of radiated  
energy in the infrared part of an object’s radiation spectrum.  
Figure A-1 shows a block diagram of an infrared radiation  
thermometer. Energy from the object is focused by the lens onto the  
detector. As the detector heats up, it sends out an electrical signal,  
which in turn is amplified and sent to the circuitry of the  
thermometer. The thermometer software then calculates the  
temperature of the object.

Appendix: How Infrared Thermometry Works  
Blackbody  
When thermal radiation falls on an object, part of the energy is  
transmitted through the object, part is reflected and part is  
absorbed. A blackbody is defined as an ideal object that absorbs all  
the radiation incident upon it. The best example of a real object that  
acts like a blackbody is a small hole drilled deep into a large opaque  
cavity. Thermal radiation entering the cavity is internally reflected  
and has little chance of escaping the cavity before it is fully  
absorbed.  
Emissivity is defined as the ratio of energy radiated by an object to  
that of the energy radiated by a blackbody. By definition, the  
emissivity of a blackbody is 1. Most objects are considered gray  
objects with an emissivity between 0 and 1. Various emissivities for  
common materials are shown in Appendix B.  
Spectral Distribution  
Objects radiate energy at  
different wavelengths, but  
not with constant intensity  
at each wavelength. Figure  
A-2 shows the energy  
radiated by a blackbody at  
various temperatures as a  
function of wavelength. As  
a body is heated, the  
intensity of the radiated  
energy increases and the  
peak of the curve shifts  
towards the shorter  
wavelength end of the  
spectrum. The total area  
under a spectral  
distribution curve is  
Relative emission from a blackbody versus wavelength.  
proportional to the total  
energy radiated by the  
blackbody at a given  
temperature.  
The area under the curve corresponds to the total ener-  
gy, and is proportional to the absolute temperature to  
the 4th power. The peak of the spectral distribution  
curve shifts to shorter wavelengths as the temperature  
increases.

Calculating Temperature  
The net thermal power radiated by an object has been shown to  
depend on its emissivity, its temperature and that of the ambient  
temperature around the object. A very useful equation known today  
as the Stefan-Boltzmann Law has been shown both theoretically and  
empirically to describe the relationship.

The infrared thermometer uses this equation directly in calculating  
the temperature of an object. The incident power is measured by the  
infrared detector. The emissivity of the object is determined by the  
user. The ambient temperature is measured by a sensor inside the  
thermometer. With all quantities known, the thermometer uses the  
Stefan-Bolzmann Law to calculate and output the temperature of the  
object.

Appendix: How Infrared Thermometry Works  
Optics Field of View  
Accurate measurement of temperature via infrared means depends  
strongly on the size of the object and the distance between the  
thermometer and the object. All optical devices (e.g. cameras,  
microscopes, infrared thermometers) have an angle of vision,  
known as a field of view or FOV, within which they see all objects.  
In particular, the thermometer will measure a fixed proportion of  
the energy radiated by all objects within its FOV. The user must  
guarantee that the distance between the thermometer and the object  
is defined so that only that object fills the FOV of the instrument.  
Referring to Figure A-3, Objects “X” and “Y” are within the FOV of  
the thermometer. The measured temperature would fall somewhere  
between the actual temperatures of the two objects. In order to  
measure the temperature of Object “X” accurately, Object “Y”  
would need to be removed. In order to measure the temperature of  
Object “Y” accurately, the user would need to move closer to Object  
“Y” until it completely filled the FOV of the thermometer.  
Alternatively, the user could measure the temperature of Object “Y”  
with a thermometer with a smaller FOV.

distance of 10 feet. For accurate spot size values, refer to the Field of  
View diagrams shown in Figures 2-4 through 2-6.

Appendix: Emissivity Values  
Table B-1 provides guidelines for estimating the emissivity of various  
common materials. Actual emissivity, especially of metals, can vary  
greatly depending upon surface finish, oxidation, or the presence of  
contaminants. Also, emissivity or infrared radiation for some materials  
varies with wavelength and temperature. To determine the exact  
emissivities for most applications, follow the procedures in Appendix C.

Appendix: Determining an Unknown Emissivity  
In Appendix A, we showed how emissivity is an important  
parameter in calculating the temperature of an object via infrared  
means. In this section we discuss how to determine a specific  
emissivity value. If you know the material of the object, use Table B-  
1 in Appendix B to look up its approximate emissivity. Most organic  
materials such as plastics, cloth, or wood have an emissivity of  
about 0.95. For this reason, we use 0.95 as the default emissivity  
setting in the OS530 Series Thermometer.  
For objects of unknown material or for very precise measurements,  
use one of the following methods to determine a specific emissivity  
value.  
Method 1  
1. Measure and record the temperature of the object using a contact  
temperature probe such as a thermocouple or RTD.  
2. Aim the thermometer at the object.  
3. Adjust the emissivity until the temperature reading of the  
thermometer equals the temperature measured in Step 1.  
Method 2  
1. Heat the object (or at least a sample of the object material) on top  
of a heating plate to a known temperature. Make sure the  
thermometer and the air surrounding the heating plate are at the  
same temperature.  
2. Measure the temperature of the object material with the  
thermometer. Make sure that the object fills the FOV of the  
thermometer.  
3. Adjust the emissivity until the temperature reading of the  
thermometer equals the known temperature of Step 1.

Appendix: Determining an Unknown Emissivity  
Method 3  
1. Use this method to measure objects at temperatures below 260°C  
(500°F).  
2. Place a large piece of masking tape on the object (or at least a  
sample of the object material). Allow time for the masking tape to  
reach the object temperature.  
3. Set the emissivity of the thermometer to 0.95. Use the thermometer  
to measure and record the temperature of the masking tape - Area  
‘A’ in Figure C-1. Make sure that the area of the object covered  
with masking tape fills the FOV of the thermometer.

4. Aim the thermometer at Area ‘B’ as shown in Figure C-1 Make  
sure that Area ‘B’ is as close as possible to Area ‘A’.  
5. Adjust the emissivity of the thermometer until the temperature

Method 4  
1. Paint a sample of the object material with flat black lacquer paint.  
2. Set the emissivity to 0.97 and measure and record the temperature  
of the painted portion of the sample material - Area ‘A’ in Figure  
C-1. Make sure that the painted area of object material fills the  
FOV of the thermometer.  
3. Aim the thermometer at another spot on the target - Area ‘B’ in  
Figure C-1.  
4. Adjust the emissivity of the thermometer until the temperature  
reading equals the temperature found in Step 2.  
Method 5  
1. Use this method where practical to measure objects at  
temperatures above 260°C (500°F ).  
2. Drill a 35 mm (1.5") diameter hole in a sample of the object  
material to a depth of 127 mm (5"). This hole closely resembles a  
blackbody (refer to Appendix A).

3. Set the emissivity to 0.97 and measure and record the temperature  
of the hole in the sample material - Area ‘A’ in Figure C-2. Make  
sure that the hole fills the FOV of the thermometer.  
4. Aim the thermometer at another spot on the target as close as  
possible to Area ‘A’ (Area ‘B’ in Figure C-2).  
5. Adjust the emissivity of the thermometer until the temperature  
reading equals the temperature found in Step 3.
