Calsys 37BB Preface Welcome to the Calsys 37BB Portable Black Body Calibrator user guide. This guide provides detailed information about all the product options and features, and explains how to use the product and configure basic settings to suit your requirements.
CALsys 37BB Personnel with relevant qualifications: Personnel in charge of the device's installation, operation, and maintenance must have applicable qualifications. This can be based on applicable training or tuition. The workers must be aware of and have access to the operating handbook at all times.
After use, do not return the apparatus to its carrying case until the unit has cooled down. There are no user serviceable parts inside. When required, contact Tempsens agent for repair. Ensure all materials, especially flammable materials are kept away from the hot parts of the apparatus, to prevent fire risk.
CALsys 37BB Cautions and Preventions To avoid possible damage to the instrument, follow these guidelines: Before working inside the equipment, turn the power off and disconnect the power cord. DO NOT turn the unit upside down with the inserts in place; the inserts will fall out of the unit.
Chapter 1 Introduction About CALsys 37BB The ‘CALsys 37BB’ has been designed to provide stable and accurate temperature source for on-site and laboratory calibration of radiation thermometers by comparison method up to a temperature range 50°C. The ‘CALsys 37BB’ model has been designed in single part. This model provides an isothermal enclosure in which the non contact pyrometers can be checked against the temperature of the calibration black body.
Basic Working Model of CALsys 37BB ‘CALsys 37BB is a transportable, self contained unit designed for use on any reasonable flat surface. The target is a ridged aluminum plate which is painted by a high emissive paint .The target is heated by Si Rubber heater which allows the source to heat up to 50°C in about 15 minutes and holds it...

CALsys 37BB Chapter 2 Setting up CALsys 37BB Installation Place the black body on a flat surface with at least 10 inches of free space around the instrument. Overhead clearance is required. DO NOT Place this unit under a cabinet or structure. Plug the power cord into a grounded mains outlet located on the controlling unit rear panel.
Unpack the Furnace carefully and inspect. If you find any damage or any item is missing notify us or our agent. After unpacking you will find the following accessories. CALsys 37BB…………………......1 No Power cord ……………………………………………1 No Manual...
2. Change the set-point to 37°C and observe that the block temperature rises and settles to this value. 3. If the unit performs as expected, the unit can now be used for calibration. If any problems or faults arise during the test, contact Tempsens immediately for help and advice. 15 | P a g e...

CALsys 37BB Chapter 3 Optics The pyrometer measures the temperature by receiving heat radiation from the object whose temperature has to be measured. This heat radiation is passed through the lens sensor and then converted to an electrical signal. The farther the measured object is from the pyrometer, the larger the area that will be measured by the pyrometer.

CALsys 37BB Chapter 4 Operating CALsys 37BB Turning On the Unit 1. Before plugging the unit to main power outlet, ensure that the voltage, frequency and current from the main power outlet are within the recommended rages (typically: 230 VAC±10, 50/60 Hz).
CALsys 37BB Operating Instructions Connect the ‘CALsys 37BB’ to a suitable power supply. ON the Mains switch located at back Side with power entry. Set the desire temperature value in PID by using UP & Down key. Aim the reference (Master) standard infrared temperature sensor to the target area.
CALsys 37BB Cooling Down the Source Ensure that the temperature of Black Body has cooled sufficiently. If you require Black Body to cool quickly, set the temperature to the room temperature (ambient temperature). Always cool the heated instrument to ambient temperature before disconnecting it from the mains, switching it OFF, or removing the temperature sensor or test item.
CALsys 37BB Chapter 5 Operating Unit Controller Front Panel Layout Operator Button The Temperature Controller: The upper display of the controller indicates the measured temperature, the middle display indicates the desired temperature or set point and lower display shows output power demand.
CALsys 37BB Monitoring the Controller Status: A row of beacons indicate the controllers status as follows: OP1 Heat Output OP2 Cool Output (only for models which operate below 0°C) REM This beacon indicates activity on the PC interface Temperature units: Momentary pressing of the Scroll key will show the controller units °C or °F.
