The OS-MINIUSB is a simple, compact infrared temperature sensor with USB communications. It measures the surface temperature of a variety of materials without contact. The included software is intuitive and easy to use, and the open Modbus protocol allows users to connect directly to the sensor using software of their own design.
ACCESSORIES A range of accessories to suit different applications and environments is available. These may be ordered at any time and added on-site. The following accessories are available: Fixed mounting bracket Adjustable mounting bracket Air purge collar Laser sighting tool OPTIONS An optional certificate of calibration is available for newly-manufactured sensors.

DISTANCE AND SPOT SIZE The size of the area (spot size) to be measured determines the distance between the sensor and the target. The spot size must not be larger than the target. The sensor should be mounted so that the measured spot size is smaller than the target. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE The sensor is designed to operate in ambient temperatures from 0°C to 75°C.

This will ensure the USB driver for the sensor is installed properly. 1. Insert the provided CD, or download OmegaConfig from www.omega.com. 2. The installer should run automatically from the CD (if not, browse to the appropriate drive and run Setup.exe).
If possible, a measurable area of the surface should be painted or coated to reduce reflections and increase the emissivity. For more information about emissivity, contact Omega. Reflected Energy Compensation In most applications, the target surface has the same surroundings as the sensor (for example, it is in the same room).
