OS137A Series Miniature Non-Contact Infrared Temperature Sensor/Transmitter 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). There is no user replaceable fuse in this product.
Introduction SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION The OS137A Series is a precision, miniature infrared transmitter. It measures temperature via non-contact, and provides an analog output proportional to the measured temperature. The OS137A Series is offered in three temperature ranges: 0 to 100ºC (32 to 212ºF), -18 to 260ºC (0 to 500ºF) and -18 to 538ºC (0 to 1000ºF).
Installation -K : K type thermocouple output -MVC : 10 mV/ºC output -MVF : 10 mV/ºF output For longer power/output cable, add suffix “xxFT” to the model part number. The following table lists the optional accessories: Accessories Model No. Description Mounting Bracket OS137-MB OS137-WC...
Introduction SECTION 3 – OPERATION 3.1 – Measuring Temperature Before starting to measure temperature, make sure the following check list is met: The power and output connections are made (Fig 2-1). The target is larger than the optical field of view of the transmitter (Fig 3-1). Use the Laser Sighting accessory (optional), to align the transmitter to the center of the target area.
Operation 3.2 – Ambient Temperature The transmitter can operate in an ambient temperature of 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F) without any water cool jacket. It can operate from 0 to 200°C (32 to 392°F) with the water cool jacket accessory, OS137-WC (Fig 3-6 & 3-7). It can operate up to 110°C (230°F) with air cooling.
Operation 3.3 - Atmospheric Quality The unit provides 0-100% alarm setpoint adjustment. Here is an example of an alarm setting: • An OS137A-3-MA (4/20 mA output), the alarm is to be set at 204°C (400°F) temperature. • Connect the alarm output as shown in Fig. 2-2. •...
Laser Sight Accessory SECTION 4 - LASER SIGHT ACCESSORY 4.1 – Warnings and Caution CAUTION: You may receive harmful laser radiation exposure if you do not adhere to the warnings listed below: • USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED IN THIS GUIDE MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
Specifications SECTION 5 – SPECIFICATIONS 5.1 - General Temperature Range: OS137A-1 0 to 100ºC (32 to 212ºF) OS137A-2 -18 to 260ºC (0 to 500ºF) OS137A-3 -18 to 538°C (0 to 1000°F) Accuracy: OS137A-1, OS137-2 3% of Rdg or 4.4°C (8°F) whichever is greater OS137A-3 3% of Rdg or 5.5°C (10°F) whichever is greater Repeatability:...
