9132 Portable IR Calibrator

User’s Guide

DO NOT

 use this unit for any application other than calibration work.

DO NOT

 use this unit in environments other than those listed in the user’s guide.

DO NOT

 operate near flammable materials.

Use of this instrument at 

HIGH TEMPERATURES

 for extended periods of time 

requires caution.
Completely unattended high temperature operation is not recommended for safety 

reasons.
Before initial use, after transport, and anytime the dry-well has not been energized for 

more than 10 days, the calibrator must be energized for a dry-out period of 1 to 2 hours 

before it can be assumed to meet all of the safety requirements of the IEC1010-1.
The instrument can generate extreme temperatures. Precautions must be taken to prevent 

personal injury or damage to objects. 
Use only a grounded AC mains supply of the appropriate voltage to power the 

instrument. Refer to Section 3.1, Specifications for power details.
The instrument is equipped with operator accessible system fuses. If a fuse blows, it may 

be due to a power surge or failure of a component. Replace the fuse once. If the fuse 

blows a second time, it is likely caused by failure of a component part. If this occurs, 

contact an Authorized Hart Scientific Service Center (see Section ). Always replace the 

fuse with one of the same rating, voltage, and type. Never replace the fuse with one of a 

higher current rating.
Follow all safety guidelines listed in the user’s manual.
Calibration Equipment should only be used by Trained Personnel.

1.3.2  CAUTIONS

DO NOT plug the unit into 230V if the heater switches and fuse holder read 115V. This 

action will cause the fuses to blow and may damage the instrument.
Components and heater lifetime can be shortened by continuous high temperature 

operation.
DO NOT use fluids to clean the target surface.
DO NOT change the values of the calibration constants from the factory set values. The 

correct setting of these parameters is important to the safety and proper operation of the 

calibrator.
DO use a ground fault interrupt device.
Operate the instrument in room temperatures between 5 and 50°C. (41–122° F). Allow 

sufficient air circulation by leaving at least 6 inches of space between the instrument and 

nearby objects.
The instrument is a precision instrument. Although is has been designed for optimum 

durability and trouble free operation, it must be handled with care. Always carry the unit 

in an upright position. The convenient fold-up handle allows one hand carrying. The 

instrument should not be operated in excessively wet, oily, dusty, or dirty environments. 

Do not operate near flammable materials.
Before initial use, after transport, and anytime the dry-well has not been energized 

for a “dry-out” period of 1-2 hours before it can be assumed to meet all of the safety 

requirements of the IEC 1010-1.
