Introduction

The model OSM101 is a very low cost battery powered, portable infrared to
analog converter module. It measures a temperature range of -18 to 538°C (0 to
1000°F), and provides a compensated K type thermocouple output which can go
to any thermocouple meter, or recorder for display and monitoring. The OSM101
has a built-in laser circle for aiming and indicating the optical field of view.

Each unit comes with a 3.5 VDC Lithium Battery, User’s Manual, and an SMP
Male to Male K type retractable cable.

Caution and Safety Information

equipment should comply with all the applicable safety requirements.

• Do not operate the equipment in flammable or explosive environments.

• Use the recommended battery to operate this product.

• Do not operate the unit when the battery cover is open.

• Do not open batteries, dispose of in fire, heat above 100°C (212°F), expose
contents to water, recharge, put in backwards, mix with used or other battery
types. It may explode or leak and cause personal injury.

Laser Sighting

• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified here may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

• Do not look at the laser beam coming out of the lens or view directly with

IEC Symbol Description

Operation

The lithium battery is already installed in the unit. In case you need to check or
replace the battery, remove the two screws in the back to get to the battery
compartment.

Set the Power Switch to the ON position. The Power LED starts to flash. Connect
the thermocouple output of the OSM101 to a thermocouple meter using the
retractable cable provided.

There is a momentary Laser button on the unit. Press and hold the laser key. The
laser LED as well as the laser beam (Circle) starts to flash. Releasing the laser key
will turn off the laser beam. The laser circle is an indication of the optical field of
view of the device. There is an offset of 19 mm (0.75 inches) between the center
of the laser circle and the actual field of view.

There is a one turn Emissivity potentiometer on the unit. Set the Emissivity of
the target based on the Emissivity chart provided. Aim at the target. Make sure
that the target fills the optical field of view completely. Measure the temperature
accordingly. Set the Power switch to the OFF position when you are done.

Please refer to Figures 1, 2, and 3 for product descriptions, general dimensions,
and the field of view.
