OS768-LS Thermometer Operating Instructions
For Model with thermocouple socket
The non-contact infrared thermometer is the ultimate tool for temperature
measurements. It can measure from 100 to 1800 oC (212~3272 oF) in the distance
of 75:1 DS (Distance to Spot) ratio. Furthermore, the memory mode can record
and display the specific measurement with emissivity. There are many
mathematical modes for the Infrared function.
- Please remember to keep away from children and don’t use it for safety related applications.
Simply aim the thermometer at the measure target with Lens (⑪) and press Meas. key (⑧) to display the surface temperature. The Distance:Spot is 75:1. The two laser points are the reference for the target spot size. Please make sure the target area is within the field of view.
FUNCTION
Press Emissivity key (③) for setting the emissivity
| Press Emissivity key (③), then press Up key (④) or Down key (②) to set the
emissivity, then press Mode key (⑤) to confirm it. The emissivity can be
changed from 0.10 (10E) to 1 (100E).
---|---
Press Mode key (⑤) for scrolling more display function as follows.
** The thermometer will automatically shut off if left idle for more than 60sec, unless in PRB mode. (In PRB mode, it will shut off if left idle for more than 12 minutes.)
ADD VALUE
In MAX, MIN, DIF, AVG mode:| Press Up key (④) for L O
CK mode ON/OFF. The lock mode is particularly useful for
continuous monitoring of temperatures for up to 60 minutes.

Press Down key (②) for o C or o F t ransferred.
In all modes: First hold on the Meas. key ( ○ 8 )| and press
Up key (④) for b ac k li gh t f un cti

STORAGE & CLEANING
It should be stored at room temperature. The sensor lens is the most delicate part of the thermometer. The lens should be kept clean at all times, care should be taken when cleaning the lens using only a soft cloth or cotton swab with water or medical alcohol. Allowing the lens to fully dry before using the thermometer. Do not submerge any part of the thermometer.
LCD ERROR MESSAGES
The thermometer incorporates visual diagnostic messages as follows:
| ‘Hi’ or ’Lo’ is displayed when the temperature being measured is outside of
the settings of HAL and LAL.
---|---
| ‘Er2’
is displayed when the thermometer is exposed to rapid changes in the ambient
temperature. ‘Er3’ is displayed when the ambient temperature exceeds 0o C
(32°F) or +50o C (122°F). The thermometer should be allowed plenty of time
(minimum 30 minutes) to stabilize to the working/room temperature.
| Error 5~9, for all other error messages it is necessary to reset the
thermometer. To reset it, wait for auto power off, remove the battery and wait
for a minimum of one minute, reinsert the battery and turn on. If the error
message remains please contact the Service Department for further assistance.
| ‘Hi’ or
’Lo’ is displayed when the temperature being measured is outside of the
measurement range.
BATTERIES
The thermometer incorporates visual low battery indication as follows:
‘Battery OK’: measurements are possible
|
‘Battery Low’: battery needs to be replaced, measurements are still possible
|
‘Battery Exhausted’: measurements are not possible
---|---|---
When the `Low Battery’ icon indicates the battery is low, the battery should
be replaced immediately with AAA x 2 batteries. Please note: It is important
to turn the instrument off before replacing the battery otherwise the
thermometer may malfunction.
Dispose of used battery promptly and keep away from children.
