Reed Instruments BX-500 Infrared Temperature Calibrator

Overview Reed Instruments BX-500 Infrared Temperature Calibrator

Reed Instruments BX-500 Infrared Temperature Calibrator is an infrared temperature calibrator from Reed Instruments. It is designed for controlled temperature calibration tasks in field, bench, or laboratory use depending on the product format.

Features and Performance

• For calibrating non-contact infrared thermometers up to 500°C (932°F)
• Temperature controlled black-body target with a diameter of 2.25" (57mm)
• Wide field of view to compensate for optical variations in individual infrared thermometers
• Simply set the desired temperature in increments of 0.1°, wait for the calibrator to attain equilibrium, point the infrared thermometer at the target, and measure the radiated energy
• Contact RTD reference well is located directly behind the blackbody target to assure even higher accuracies of ±0.1°C
• Temperature Range: 50 to 500°C (122 to 32°F)
• Resolution: 0.1°C (0.1°F)
• Accuracy: ±0.8°C (±1.6°F): =100°C (212°F); ±1.6°C (±3.2°F): 100 to =200°C (212 to 392°F); ±2.8°C (±5.6°F): 200 to =500°C
• (392 to =932°F)
• Stability: ±0.1°C (±0.2°F): =100°C (212°F); ±0.2°C (±0.4°F): 100 to =350°C (212 to 662°F); ±0.4°C (±0.8°F): 350 to =500°C
• (662 to =932°F)
• Target Emissivity: Fixed at 0.95
• Cooling Time: 45 minutes to 100°C (122°F)
• Heating Time: 40 minutes to maximum
• Aperture Diameter: 57mm
• Power Supply: 220VAC (±10%), 1.25A/110VAC (±10%), 2.5A
• Dimensions: 180 x 114 x 233mm
• Weight: 3 kg

Why Choose This Product

It is suitable when infrared thermometer verification requires a controlled black-body target and the stated operating range. The description also emphasizes a direct calibration workflow rather than a general heating device.
