The OS-XL is a 2-dimensional
infrared thermometer equipped with
a newly developed 64-element
thermopile array sensor. The OS-XL
is not just another non-contact
temperature measurement
device–the OS-XL allows the user to
view and verify the measurement
subject on the LCD screen while
simultaneously measuring the

temperature at 64 points. The OS-XL
can actually display and save data
with a graphic representation of the
temperature distribution overlaid on
an image of the subject being
measured. Furthermore, device
operation is extremely easy, similar
to that of a digital camera, greatly
increasing operation efficiency.

The OS-XL offers exceptional
functionality that has never been
available before at this amazingly
low price. Combining OMEGA’s
original technologies and concepts,
the OS-XL takes the lead in the field
of temperature measurement.

The Newly Developed 64-Element Thermopile Array

A thermopile is the heart of most of today's leading infrared thermometers.
The thermopile array consists of a matrix of multiple thermopile elements,
but attempts to put this technology into practical application have been
hindered by size and sensitivity problems. OMEGA has managed to
overcome these problems using semiconductor processing based
micromachining, successfully developing a micro-size, high-sensitivity
thermopile. The resulting 64-element thermopile array consists of an
8 x 8 matrix of 0.5 mm

2

(0.02"2) elements, the first such matrix in the

world to be put into practical application.

The true value of the OS-XL lies in its ability to display
temperature distribution on an image of the measurement
subject. The OS-XL provides even greater functionality.

The image of the object being measured is divided
into a 64-frame grid. The temperature distribution is
displayed in corresponding colors on the grid lines
framing each area. Temperature is measured in each
frame. The cursor can be used to select a specific
frame in order to display the temperature for that area
in 0.1° increments. The OS-XL provides easy
operations for both measuring and recording data.
The OS-XL also provides a diverse range of settings
functions and data options supporting "smart
temperature measurement" with its enhanced
functionality.

A Variety of Display Modes, Each With a Diverse Range of Settings

The user can freely switch between
image display modes.

The user can select between 3 types
of image modes: Visible Image Display,
64-Frame Grid Mosaic Display, and
64-Frame Gridline Display.

Convenient,
Detailed Settings

The OS-XL provides a
variety of convenient
functions including a
temperature scale that
can be user-set to a
range from -50 to 1000°C.
Upper and lower alarm
limit settings are used to
issue an audible alarm
and an alarm message
if the temperature exceeds
the set range. A color
scale display corresponds
to an image of the
temperature range of
the measurement subject.

The infrared lens and visible light
lens are at different locations on
the OS-XL, so parallax can occur
between the temperature display
area and the actual location
being measured. However, a
3-stage (0.5 m [1.64'], 1 m
[3.28'] and infinity)
measurement distance
setting can be used to
compensate for the parallax.

Effectively Utilize Data in an Expandable System

Measurement conditions can be easily recorded using the OS-XL’s video output.

The OS-XL is equipped with a video output jack, so the measurement conditions
can be easily recorded on videotape or monitored on a large-screen TV.

(Please use the video cable included with your unit for video output.)

The OS-XL saves data in formats
that can be easily edited by computer.

The data saved on the CF card can be read by
most computers. It is easily viewed and edited
without using specialized software. With
Microsoft Excel, the image and measurement
data can also be analyzed and used to
generate illustrated reports.

(A CF card reader (included) is needed to access
the stored data by computer.)

All recorded data is saved on a Compact Flash (CF) card.

The OS-XL is equipped with a compact flash card slot so that
image data and measurement data can be easily saved and
stored. All of the measured values for each grid frame are saved
for each image. The OS-XL can simultaneously record data for
64 measurement locations.

(Images are saved in JPEG format, and measured values are
saved simultaneously as a CSV-format file.)
