Using This Quick Start Manual
Use this Quick Start Manual with your OS100E Series
mini-infrared transmitter for quick installation and easy
operation. Refer to the full manual for detailed informa-
tion (#M3572A)
General Information
The low cost OS101E mini-infrared transmitter
provides non-contact temperature measurement
for industrial applications. The unit measures a
temperature range of -18 to 538°C (0-1000°F) and
provides a linear analog output of either 4-20 mA,
0-5 VDC, K type TC, 1 mV/°C, or 1 mV/°F.
The new OS102E mini-infrared transmitter has
all the functions of OS101E plus a built-in LED
display that shows the measured temperature in
degrees F or degrees C which is switchable in the
field.
The miniature sensor head design 2.5 cm dia. X
6.3 cm Length (1" x 2.5") is ideal for measuring
temperature in confined, and hard to reach places.
The aluminum sensor head as well as the rugged
electronic housing (Die cast Aluminum) are
NEMA-4 rated.
The sensor head is connected to the electronic
housing via a 1.82 m (6 feet) shielded cable as
standard. The unit provides field adjustable alarm
output.
The following optional accessories are available:
Electrical Connection
Sensor Head Cable
The Sensor head is pre-wired to a 1.8 m (6 feet)
shielded cable. Plug & lock in the male connector
to the mating female connector on the aluminum
housing.
Power & Output Connection
Open the cover of the main aluminum housing.
Slide the cable through the strain relief and connect
the wires to the terminal block on the board as on
right.
Ambient Temperature
The Sensing head can operate in an ambient
temperature of 0 to °C (32 to 158°F). The Sensing head
in the high temperature model (-HT) can operate in an
ambient temperature of 0 to 85°C (32 to 185°F) without
any cooling required. The Sensing head can operate up
to 200°C (392°F) using the water cool jacket accessory
OS100-WC.
There is a warm up period of 3 minutes after power up.
After the warm up period, temperature measurement
can be made.
When the ambient temperature around the sensor
head changes abruptly, the sensor head goes through
thermal shock. It takes a certain amount of time
for the sensor head to stabilize to the new ambient
temperature. For example, it takes about 30 minutes for
the sensor head to stabilize going from 25°C to 50°C (77
to 122°F) ambient temperature.
The sensor head dimensions are shown below.
Sensor Housing
Measuring Temperature
Before starting to measure temperature, make sure that
the following check list is met:
• The power and analog output connections are made
• The sensor head is connected to the main unit
• The slide switch (SW1) on the main board is set to
real time
• The target is larger than the optical field of view of
the sensor head (see below for field of view diagram)
• The emissivity adjustment on the main board is set
properly
• The output load is within the product specification
For 102E transmitters, follow these additional steps:
• The temperature display is set to °F or °C
• For 4-20mA output models, make sure an output
load is added, i.e. 250 Ohms.
Optical Field of View
Alarm Setting
The unit provides 0-100% alarm set point
adjustment. Here is an example of an alarm setting.
• An OS101E-MA (4/20 mA output), the alarm is
to be set at 400°F temperature.
• Connect the alarm output as shown in Alarm
Output Connection diagram.
• Set the slide switch (SW1) on the main board to
the Alarm position.
• Measure the analog output, and set the
Potentiometer P3 until the output reads 10.4 mA
which is 40% (400°F) of the temperature range.
• Set the slide switch (SW1) back to the Real Time
position.
• If the temperature reading is below the alarm set
point, the alarm output stays high, otherwise it
goes low.
On the OS102E, you can set the alarm set point
directly based on the temperature display.
Adding Extension Cable
You can add an extension cable between the Sensor
Head and the main electronic housing up to 15.2
m (50 feet). If adding an extension cable, you must
refer to the section RS-232 Communication in
order to adjust the cable offset through your PC’s
terminal.
