REED BX-500 infrared temperature calibrator instruction manual
The REED Instruments BX-500 Infrared Temperature Calibrator is designed to provide accurate temperatures for calibrating non-contact temperature instruments, such as infrared thermometers, pyrometers, and thermal imagers. It generates temperatures up to 932°F (600°C) and features a contact RTD reference well to ensure accurate results. The device includes a wide aperture to compensate for optical variations in various infrared thermometers.
The manual details the instrument's features, including status indicators, keypad functions, and environmental operating conditions. It provides step-by-step instructions for initial startup, setting temperature units, adjusting set-points, configuring overload alarms, and performing maintenance tasks like replacing fuses. Safety precautions are emphasized throughout, particularly regarding high temperatures and proper grounding.
