Target Plate Air Purge

The BB701 comes with a nitrogen air purge collar 

that surrounds the target plate. When connected to 

a nitrogen gas source the target plate is kept free of 

condensation at lower temperatures. Snow is likely to 

form on the plate when it is kept at temperatures below 

freezing temperature. Snow or condensation will change 

a target’s emissivity. The can lead to inaccuracies unless 

the infrared pyrometer is corrected for this emissivity 

change. It is therefore recommended that the user take 

advantage of this feature. 

Use dry gas or Nitrogen with a dew point below -20°C 

(-4.0°F). The rate of gas inlet should be 0.25 to 0.50 m

/hr.). Do not exceed the maximum gas 

inlet rate. The port will accept any flexible tubing (vinyl, 

rubber, Teflon, latex) with a ¼" outer diameter, such as

Reference Probe

An RTD probe has been embedded into the target plate 

heater assembly to be used as a reference to check the 

calibrator’s calibration and accuracy. A connector has 

been provided with your calibrator for connection to 

this reference probe. Listed below are a few calibration 

points and the resistance readings you can expect from 

the reference probe.

RS232 Communication

The RS232 communications port allows bi-directional 

data transfer via a three conductor cable consisting 

of signal ground, receive input, and transmit output. 

It is recommended that less than fifty feet of cable be 

used between the computer and this instrument. Use a 

straight DB9 (female) to DB9 (male) connector cable to 

connect your computer to the BB701. The cable should 

be attached only when the computer and BB701 are off.
