Before You Start Introduction The Hart Scientific 9132 Portable IR Calibrator may be used as a portable instrument or bench top temperature calibrator for calibrating point IR thermometers. The 9132 is small enough to use in the field, and accurate enough to use in the lab. Calibrations may be done over a range of 50°C to 500°C (122°F to 932°F).

9132 Portable IR Calibrator User’s Guide NOTE: As the calibrator temperature increases, the difference between the temperature sensed by the reference thermometer and the temperature of the face of the target increases. Environmental Conditions Although the instrument has been designed for optimum durability and trouble-free operation, it must be handled with care.
Unpacking Unpack the calibrator carefully and inspect it for any damage that may have occurred during shipment. If there is shipping damage, notify the carrier immediately. Verify that the following components are present: 9132 Calibrator ● Power Cord ● User’s Guide ●...

9132 Portable IR Calibrator User’s Guide When the set-point temperature is changed the controller switches the well heater on or off to raise or lower the temperature. The displayed well temperature gradually changes until it reaches the set-point temperature. The well may require 5 to 10 minutes to reach the set-point depending on the span.
115 V. This action will cause the fuses to blow and may damage the instrument. Serial Port – A DB-9 male connector is present for interfacing the calibrator to a computer or terminal with serial RS-232 communications. Fluke-Direct .com info@Fluke-Direct.com...
9132 Portable IR Calibrator User’s Guide Fan – The fan inside the calibrator has two speeds and runs continuously when the unit is being operated to provide cooling for the instrument. The fan runs slow for heating and maintaining operation and runs fast for rapid cooling. Slots are provided for airflow. The area around the calibrator must be kept clear to allow adequate ventilation.
