This high performance system 
allows one to view targets that 
are not optically accessible with 
standard line of sight 
instrumentation.
This high performance emissivity 
independent 2-color system 
consists of a DP1541 and sensors. 
The DP1541 is a single-channel, 
19 inch rack mount 2-color control 
system. Three sensors are 
available; OS1542-L1-R1 or 
OS1542-L1-R2 or OS1543-L1-R3.

The OS1543 fiber optic sensor 
head has a lead sulfide detector 
filtered over wide bands centered at
1.55 and 2.25 microns. It is used as 
a general purpose head which can 
measure temperatures down to 
250°C. It should not be used where 
hot steam or gas is present.
The fiber optic cable assembly 
differs according to certain 
parameters specific to the 
application. It allows remote 
mounting of the OS1542 or OS1543 
detector heads away from hot or 
hazardous areas.
The OS1542 and OS1543 
fiber optic sensors are 
designed specifically to work 
with the DP1541 2-color 
emissivity-independent 
monitor and the associated 
fiber optic cable assembly. 
The small size of these 
probes makes them well 
suited for installations with 
limited mounting room. They 
are unaffected by RFI and 
EMI noise, which also make 
them excellent for use in 
hostile environments like 
induction or microwave 
heating. 
The OS1542 and OS1543 
fiber optic sensors operate at 
2 wavebands and utilize an 
energy ratio to calculate 
temperature. They can, 
therefore, measure 
temperature on objects 
whose emissivity is unknown 
provided the emissivity at all 
temperatures is proportional 
at the 2 wavebands used for 
the measurement, which 
is typical.
The OS1542 fiber optic 
sensor head has a silicon 
detector filtered at narrow 
bands centered at 0.90 and
1.06 microns; it is used 
primarily at high temperatures 
and is minimally affected by 
steam and hot gas.

Rack Mounted Monitor
The DP1541 two-color temperature 
monitor measures temperature 
independently of emissivity, and is 
unaffected by dust, smoke or other 
contaminants in the field of view. Only 
20% of the field of view is needed to 
ensure accurate measurements, 
regardless of the target size. Through 
the use of a bifurcated fiber optic 
cable, the energy radiated by the 
target can be divided between two 
separate infrared detectors within the 
sensor head. Each detector, having a 
different spectral band pass filter, 
sees a slightly different target energy 
level. The signals from these two 
detectors provide the ratio to provide 
the final temperature readout.
The DP1541 two-color monitor 
measures temperature independently 
of changes in target emissivity, 
provided that the emissivity changes 
are proportional in both wavelength 
bands, thus cancelling out the change 
in emissivity.
The meter also incorporates a special 
feature called “slope control,” which 
allows precise emissivity correction for 
the temperature band of interest. 
The “slope control” adjustment 
compensates for non-graybody errors 
by adding a percentage of the singlecolor temperature to the two-color 
temperature to achieve the correct 
temperature output.
The DP1541 monitor has optional 
signal processing outputs for 
datalogging or taking trend analysis. 
These outputs include Peak Sense 
and Hold, Signal Averaging, Valley 
Sense and Hold, Fast Rise, Variable 
Decay Time Sampling and Sample 
Timed Hold.
The unique features of the DP1541, 
along with the OS1542 or OS1543 
infrared sensors, make it ideal for 
applications like wire and rod forming, 
molten metal, heat treating, crystal 
growing. The system may be used in 
applications considered difficult or 
impossible for conventional direct 
viewing infrared systems. 
The DP1541 is recommended for 
situations where direct target sighting 
is impossible due to obstructions, 
where RF or EMI interference is 
present, or where nuclear radiation is 
present (requiring the electronics to 
be located in a safe area), and in 
harsh environments.
The DP1541 monitor can be supplied 
with a trifurcated fiber optic cable that 
permits “backlighting” with a light 
source for precise pinpointing of the 
target location at all times.
Any non-contact temperature 
measurement can be taken with the 
proper sensor configuration, along 
with the DP1541 monitor. Consult 
OMEGA for the proper system 
configuration for your application or 
for available custom configurations. 
The system will consist of the DP1541 
two-color emissivity-independent 
monitor and either the OS1542 or 
OS1543 sensor head, along with 
a 3 m (10') interconnecting cable 
and the fiber optic cable assembly.
Important factors to be considered in 
determining the fiber optic assembly 
best suited for your application are: 
the distance from fiber optic lens to 
the surface being measured; the size 
of the surface; the temperature range 
to be measured; the ambient 
temperature around the fiber optic 
cable; the length of the fiber optic
cable needed; how the surface is 
being heated, and the atmospheric 
conditions between the sensor and 
the product.
