OPERATING & MAINTENANCE TIPS

All IR thermometers, including the OS730K, take the average temperature of all objects within

a circular target area. Depending on the distance to the target, the target area may include

both the target and background objects in the thermometer’s field of view. If background

objects in the field of view are cooler than the target, the measured temperature will be lower

than the target’s actual temperature. If background objects are hotter than the target, the

measured temperature will be higher than the target’s actual temperature. The OS730K’s

large D:S ratio of 30:1 enables narrow measurement of high-temperature objects 

(up to 1472ºF/800ºC) from a safe distance.

To eliminate measurement error, move the OS730K close enough to the target

so the circle

created by the targeting laser falls just within the object being measured. See Appendix II for a

brief tutorial: How to Make Accurate IR Temperature Measurements.
When the Low Battery icon appears at the lower right of the LCD (Fig. 2, Callout 11), it’s time

to change the “9V” battery that powers the IRT (although measurements will remain valid for

several hours after the icon first appears). To change the battery, follow the instructions on 

p. 5.
