Introduction
The Fluke Calibration 4180ETRS Portable IR Calibrator (The Product) is a portable instrument or
bench-top temperature calibrator used as an External Temperature Reference Source (ETRS) in a
fever-screening system. The Product is small enough to use in the field, and accurate enough to use in
the lab.
The Product features:
• Rapid heating and cooling
• RS-232 interface capability
Built in programmable features include:
• Temperature scan rate control
• Eight set-point memory
• Adjustable readout in °C or °F
The temperature is accurately controlled by the digital controller. The controller uses a precision
platinum RTD as a sensor and controls the surface temperature with FET-driven Peltier modules.
The display continuously shows the current temperature. The temperature is easily set with the control
buttons to any desired temperature within the specified range. The Product's multiple fault protection
devices ensure user and Product safety and protection.
With proper use, the Product will provide continued accurate calibration of IR temperature
measurement devices. Familiarize yourself with the safety guidelines and operating procedures of the
Product. See
