A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Omega Engineering OS533E, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Omega Engineering OS533E one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Omega Engineering OS533E. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of Omega Engineering OS533E should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Omega Engineering OS533E
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Omega Engineering OS533E item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Omega Engineering OS533E item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Omega Engineering OS533E alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Omega Engineering OS533E, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Omega Engineering service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Omega Engineering OS533E.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Omega Engineering OS533E item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    A-1 Appendix: How Infrared Thermometry Works A Thermal Radiation Heat is transferred from all objects via radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves or by conduction or convection. All objects having a temperature greater than absolute zero (-273°C, -459°F, 0 K) radiate energy. The thermal energy radiated by an object increases as the object [...]

    Appendix: How Infrared Thermometry Works A A-2 Blackbody When thermal radiation falls on an object, part of the energy is transmitted through the object, part is reflected and part is absorbed. A blackbody is defined as an ideal object that absorbs all the radiation incident upon it. The best example of a real object that acts like a blackbody is a[...]

    A-3 Appendix: How Infrared Thermometry Works A Wien’s Displacement Law describes the exact mathematical relationship between the temperature of a blackbody and the wavelength of the maximum intensity radiation. where λ m = wavelength measured in microns T = temperature in Kelvin Calculating T emperature The net thermal power radiated by an objec[...]

    Appendix: How Infrared Thermometry Works A A-4 Optics Field of View Accurate measurement of temperature via infrared means depends strongly on the size of the object and the distance between the thermometer and the object. All optical devices (e.g. cameras, microscopes, infrared thermometers) have an angle of vision, known as a field of view or FOV[...]

    B-1 Appendix: Emissivity V alues B Table B-1 provides guidelines for estimating the emissivity of various common materials. Actual emissivity, especially of metals, can vary greatly depending upon surface finish, oxidation, or the presence of contaminants. Also, emissivity or infrared radiation for some materials varies with wavelength and temperat[...]

    C-1 Appendix: Determining an Unknown Emissivity C In Appendix A, we showed how emissivity is an important parameter in calculating the temperature of an object via infrared means. In this section we discuss how to determine a specific emissivity value. If you know the material of the object, use Table B- 1 in Appendix B to look up its approximate e[...]

    Appendix: Determining an Unknown Emissivity C C-2 Method 3 1. Use this method to measure objects at temperatures below 260°C (500°F). 2. Place a large piece of masking tape on the object (or at least a sample of the object material). Allow time for the masking tape to reach the object temperature. 3. Set the emissivity of the thermometer to 0.95.[...]

    C-3 Appendix - Determining an Unknown Emissivity C Method 4 1. Paint a sample of the object material with flat black lacquer paint. 2. Set the emissivity to 0.97 and measure and record the temperature of the painted portion of the sample material - Area ‘A’ in Figure C-1. Make sure that the painted area of object material fills the FOV of the t[...]
