The OS-HFV50 Model is a non-contact infrared temperature sensor. The electronics are protected
by a rugged IP64 aluminum alloy(A6061) housing. They calculate the surface temperature based on the
emitted infrared energy of objects and convert the energy into temperature signal.
Infrared thermometer is an optoelectronic sensor. Any object of a temperature above absolute zero (-273 °
C) emits electromagnetic radiation. Infrared thermometer calculates the surface temperature on the basis of
the emitted infrared radiation from the object. By determining its radiation intensity the temperature of an
object can thereby be determined in a non-contact way.

User manual
Keep the lens clean at all times. Any foreign matter on the lens would affect measurement accuracy.
Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air. The lens surface can be cleaned with a soft, humid
tissue moistened with water or a water-based glass cleaner. Never use cleaning compounds which contain
solvents for the lens.
Keep away from strong EMF. Avoid static electricity, arc welders, and induction heaters. Avoid abrupt
changes of the ambient temperature. To avoid ground loops, make sure that only one point is earth
grounded.
Factory Default Setting：
Press the down (∨) key (keep pressed), and then the up (∧) key. The display will appear INIT for confirmation.

The optical diagrams indicate the target spot diameter at any given distance between the target object and
the sensing head. The spot size will change in longer distance corresponding to the following drawing. In
order to prevent measuring errors the object must be as least as big as the spot size.

(mm)
Mechanical Installation
The OS-HFV50 Model comes with a standard 3 m cable, a mounting nut and fixed mounting bracket. You
can mount the sensor in brackets or cutouts of your own design. For easy mounting and aligning the
sensor to the measured object a fixed or adjustable mounting bracket is available.
For exact measurement of the object temperature the sensor must be aligned correctly onto the object.
Mount the sensor so the measured spot is the same or smaller than the target.
Wiring
Position the sensor so the two laser beams are marking the exact location and size of the target.
Please gently move it around until the temperature signal reads the highest. Hold the sensor in
place and secure the mounting base. At ambient temperature > 50°C, the laser will be switched
off automatically.

Please install the driver for USB cable first. After connecting the USB adapter cable to your PC, the
system will allocate the infrared thermometer adapter driver automatically.
To find out which COM-Port number your computer set, open the device manager (Start – Settings –
Control Panel – System – Hardware – Device Manager).
In the category “Ports (COM & LPT)”, you can find the “Infrared Thermometer Adapter (DR 6.x)”(only if
your USB adapter is plugged in). In parenthesis the COM Port number is shown.
Please connect the sensor to your PC and start OMEGAonline software, and open at first [Menu:
Setup(S)\Interface Settings], to choose the correct Com port and set the Baud Rate to 115,200.
After the unit connected to your personal computer, and the OMEGAonline software is started successfully;
the communication has been established. The status line will be displayed in the left bottom: active COM
port and successfully communication with the connected sensor. The target temperature will show on the left
in digital form.
Starting the measurement
Please press the measuring key: [Menu: Measurement(M)\ Start]
Scaling of the temperature axis
In the menu item settings
Global Auto Scaling: the temperature range of the diagram is automatically adapted to the respective peak
values.
Local Auto Scaling: the temperature range of the diagram will be dynamically adapted to the respective peak
values.
Manual scaling: It can be done at any time using the control elements of the temperature axis.
Stop the measurement
To stop the current measurement, please press the stop key [Menu: Measurement(M)\ Stop].
The save key [Menu: File(F)\Save Diagram] opens an explorer window to select destination and file name.
Diagram setting
The menu item settings [Menu: Diagram(A)\Settings] enable the settings for data diagram.
