OS136A Series Miniature Low-Cost 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).
The model OS136A series is a very low-cost, super-compact infrared transmitter. It measures temperature via non-contact, and provides an analog output proportional to the measured temperature. The OS136A series is offered in two temperature ranges: -18 to 204ºC (0 to 400ºF) and 149 to 538ºC (300 to 1000ºF).
Installation The following describes the ordering information: OS136A – * – ** , where - * means: -1 : -18 to 204ºC (0 to 400ºF) Temperature range -2 : 149 to 538ºC (300 to 1000ºF) Temperature range - ** means: -MA : 4 to 20 mA current output -V1 : 0 to 5 Vdc output -V2 : 0 to 10 Vdc output...
Operation 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 3.3 - Atmospheric Quality Environments with smoke , dust, and fume dirty up the optical lens, and cause erroneous temperature readings. To keep the surface of the optical lens clean, the air purge collar accessory is recommended, OS136-AP (Fig 3-3). The following figures show the Mounting Bracket (OS136-MB), Air Purge Collar (OS136-AP), Stainless Steel Housing, Water/Air Cool Jacket (OS136-WC), and the Water/Air Cool Jacket Assembly.
Laser Sight Accessory SECTION 4 - LASER SIGHT ACCESSORY 4.1 – Warning 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 HERE MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
