1) Introduction
The OS310-series handheld digital IR thermometer is used for non-contact temperature measurement of metals, ceramics,
graphite, etc. in temperature ranges between -50°C (-58 °F) and 1650°C (3002°F). This portable battery powered unit
displays current temperature as well as minimum, maximum, average and differential temperatures. Other features
include an adjustable emissivity, alarm settings and a single laser dot to help locate the target.
1.1 How it works
The sensor determines temperature by focusing the infrared energy that is radiated from an object. The focused energy is
converted into an electrical signal proportional to the energy emitted. A clean line of sight free of dust or mist is needed
between the sensor and the object. For increased ease and accuracy, the laser pointer makes aiming even more precise.
Measurement:
When taking measurement, point thermometer toward the object to be measured and hold the trigger. The object under
test should be larger than the spot size calculated by the field of view diagram below.
Field of View:
Field of view, or distance to spot ratio, is the size of an area that can be measured from a specified distance. As the distance
from the object increases, the spot size of the measuring area becomes larger. Make sure the target is larger than the unit’s
spot size. When accuracy is critical, make sure the target is at least twice as large as the spot size. Please see field of view
diagram for the OS310-Series below.
Emissivity:
Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95. Inaccurate readings will result from
measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces. To compensate adjust the emissivity setting to match the material using the
emissivity table. Another option is to set the emissivity to 0.95 and cover the measured surface with masking tape or flat
black paint. Then measure the tape or painted surface when it reaches the material temperature.
Emissivity Table:
Material Emissivity Material Emissivity
Aluminum 0.30 Iron 0.70
Asbestos 0.95 Lead 0.50
Asphalt 0.95 Limestone 0.98
Basalt 0.70 Oil 0.94
Brass 0.50 Paint 0.93
Brick 0.90 Paper 0.95
Carbon 0.85 Plastic 0.95
Ceramic 0.95 Rubber 0.95
Concrete 0.95 Sand 0.90
Copper 0.95 Skin 0.98
Dirt 0.94 Snow 0.90
Frozen Food 0.90 Steel 0.80
Hot food 0.93 Textiles 0.94
Glass (plate) 0.85 Water 0.93
Ice 0.98 Wood 0.94

1.2 Caution
Infrared thermometer should be protected for the following:
- EMF (electro-magnetic fields) from arc welders and induction heaters.
- Thermal shock (caused by large or abrupt ambient temperature changes allow 30 minutes for unit to stabilize
before use).
- Do not leave the unit on or near objects of high temperature.
Warning: Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly off reflective surfaces!
