Description
The Omega Smart IR Temperature Probe is a miniature infrared sensor that measures the surface temperature of a solid or
liquid without contact. It can measure non-metal surfaces between -70 to 380°C (-94 to 716°F). It also features a built-in
sensor to measure the ambient temperature of the probe itself.
Materials including paper, thick plastics, rubber, food and organic materials, as well as painted metals and most dirty, rusty
or oily surfaces, are measured accurately, safely and cleanly.
The Smart Probe is packaged into a rugged 12 mm OD x 67 mm long compact, stainless steel, IP67 (NEMA 6) housing -
designed for heavy industrial use while taking up the least amount of space for easy installation. Standard features include:
easy configuration through free Sync configuration software, adjustable emissivity and filtering, and a wide operating
temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
We’ve integrated an advanced suite of IIoT centric featured electronics called Smart Core. These features enable plug and
play connectivity, fully featured alarms and notifications, data assurance, and data storage of up to 1499 sensor readings.

The installation Process consists of the following stages:
•Preparation
•Mechanical Installation
•Software Setup
Please read the following sections thoroughly before proceeding with the installation.
Positioning
Ensure that the sensor is positioned so that it is focused on the target only.
Figure 5
Distance and Spot Size
The size of the area (spot size) to be measured determines the distance between the sensor and the target. The spot size
must not be larger than the target. The sensor should be mounted so that the measured spot size is smaller than the target.
Note: A mounting bracket for the SP-001 / SP-002 is sold separately.
Ambient Temperature
The sensor is designed to operate in ambient temperatures from -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F).
Caution: To avoid thermal shock, allow 20 minutes for the unit to adjust to large changes in ambient temperature.
Atmospheric Quality
Smoke, fumes, or dust can contaminate the lens and cause errors in temperature measurement.
Electrical Interference
To minimize electromagnetic interference or “noise,” the sensor should be mounted away from motors and generators.
Preparation

The SP-001 / SP-002 requires a Smart Interface (IF-001-0) or Wireless Transmitter to connect to your computer. Locate the
position of the keyway as a guide on the SP-001 / SP-002 prior to making the connection. See Figure 6.
Figure 6
The sensor can be mounted on brackets, clamps or cutouts of your own design or you can use the fixed and adjustable
Omega mounting bracket accessory: SP-001-MB.
Note: SP-001-MB accessory is sold separately.
Ensure Omega Sync is running before continuing. The SP-001 / SP-002 Infrared Smart Sensor is configured exclusively
through the Omega Sync software. To connect your SP-001 / SP-002 to Omega Sync, follow these instructions.
Note: Omega Sync is available to download on the Omega website.
Connecting to Omega Sync – Automatic Detect
Once the SP-001 / SP-002 and Smart Interface are connected to your computer, Omega Sync will automatically detect it and
begin displaying temperature readings.
Note: If you have successfully connected your SP-001 / SP-002 to Omega Sync, skip ahead to section Setting
Emissivity. If you were not successful in connecting your device, proceed to Connecting to Omega Sync – Manual.
Connecting to Omega Sync – Manual
If Omega Sync does not automatically detect your device, follow these instructions to manually connect your device.
Step 1: Click on the icon located on the top left of the Omega Sync interface.
Step 2: Proceed through the Add Device Wizard and click End Device / Probe. See Figure 8.

Note: The connection type and parameters must be accurate for a proper connection to be established. Failure to
accurately setup communication parameters may result in communication errors.
Figure 9Figure 10
Communication Interface
•Connection Type: Select the type of connection you have between your SP-001 / SP-002 and your computer. USB
connection is displayed in Figure 9. USB Serial connection is displayed in Figure 10.
•Command Timeout: The maximum time (in milliseconds) for a command to be completed before the command is
aborted.
Note: The default command timeout is 500 milliseconds. It is recommended that this section be left alone to avoid
communication errors.
•Device Address: If your Smart Interface is part of a Network, enter the Network Address here. The default network
address is 1 for most devices. Please refer to the manual of your Smart Interface for more information.
Note: The default Device Address is 1. This should only be changed when seeking a specific Bus Network.
•Device IP or Port: The COM port number that your device is connected to on your computer.
Step 4: Adjust the communication parameters to the intended settings. Click Finish.
Important: The following parameters should NOT be changed.
•BaudRate: Controls bits per second
•DataBits: The number of ‘bits’ in each character sent.
•Parity: A means of checking correctness of character by adding an extra ‘bit’ to the character and setting the value
based on all the other bits in the character.
•StopBits: The number of ‘bits’ used to indicate the end of the character.

This manual will outline three ways to set the emissivity of the SP-001 / SP-002:
•Known Emissivity Value
•Setting Emissivity Value via Emissivity Table
•Setting Emissivity via Secondary Temperature Device
Note: The default factory setting for emissivity is set to 1.
Figure 11
Known Emissivity Value
If the emissivity of the target material is already known, you may enter it in the Emissivity Dropdown and click Apply
Settings to finalize changes. See Figure 11.
Setting Emissivity via Emissivity Table
For a list of reference materials and their corresponding emissivity values, refer to the Emissivity Table in Appendix A. Enter
the corresponding value in the Emissivity Dropdown and click Apply Settings to finalize. See Figure 11.
Setting Emissivity via Secondary Temperature Device
Note: Ensure the SP-001 / SP-002 is connected to Omega Sync and pointed at the material being measured at a
distance that covers the entire field of view.
Step 1: Click Calibration.See Figure 12.
Figure 12
Step 2: Use a secondary device to measure the temperature of the target material being measured by the SP-001 / SP-
002.
Tip: Recommended devices to measure the temperature of the target material include a thermocouple, RTD, etc.
