A special infrared insert is used for the contact-less measurement infrared thermometers.
This makes calibration fast and easy.
The infrared insert has a special design and surface coating on the
inside. As a result, an emissivity of 0.9994 (black body) is reached.
The additional holes in the border (2 x 3.5 mm • 1 x 4.5 mm) are for
external reference sensors. In this manner, the exact temperature on
the inside of the infrared insert can be measured.
IMPORTANT! Size of the measuring spot!
The measuring spot of the infrared thermometer must project itself to the floor of the
infrared insert during the calibration. The measuring spot must be smaller than the
inner diameter and must not touch the wall of the infrared insert.
Inserting:
The infrared insert is inserted into the metal block with
the aid of the sleeve exchange tool.
Removing and cleaning:
Let the calibrator cool before you remove the infrared
insert.
Pull the infrared insert out of the metal block with the
help of the sleeve exchange tool.
Clean the infrared insert and the metal block.
This prevents the infrared insert from getting stuck in
the metal block.
FORMATION OF ICE AND DEW!
At temperatures < 0 °C and higher humidity levels ice or condensation can form in the
infrared insert. This can result in the calibration of the infrared thermometer being
distorted.
The forming of ice or condensation can be significantly reduced by covering the measuring
opening of the infrared insert.
Keep the measuring opening closed for as long as possible.
Only open the measuring opening briefly for measuring.
Existing ice or condensation can be removed by heating the infrared insert.
