9133 User’s Guide Symbol Description Canadian Standards Association OVERVOLTAGE (Installation) CATEGORY II, Pollution Degree 2 per IEC1010-1 refers to the level of Impulse Withstand Voltage protection provided. Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II is energy-con- suming equipment to be supplied from the fixed installation. Exam- ples include household, office, and laboratory appliances.
Replace the fuse once. If the fuse blows a second time, it is likely caused by failure of a component part. If this occurs, contact an Autho- rized Fluke Hart Scientific Service Center (see Section 1.3). Always re- place the fuse with one of the same rating, voltage, and type. Never replace the fuse with one of a higher current rating.

The Fluke Hart Scientific 9133 Mid-Range Field IR Calibrator may be used as a portable instrument or bench top temperature calibrator for calibrating point IR thermometers. The 9133 is small enough to use in the field, and accurate enough to use in the lab. Calibrations may be done over a range of -30°C to150°C (-22°F to 302°F).

Controller Operation Controller Operation This section discusses in detail how to operate the instrument temperature controller using the front control panel. By using the front panel key-switches and LED display, the user may monitor the target temperature, adjust the set-point temperature in degrees C or F, monitor the output power, adjust the controller proportional band, and program the operating parameters, program parameters, serial interface configuration, and the con- troller calibration parameters.

Calibration Procedure Calibration Procedure Sometimes the user may want to calibrate the instrument to improve the temperature set-point accuracy. Calibration is done by adjusting the control- ler probe calibration constants R0, ALPHA, DELTA, and BETA so that the temperature of the calibrator as measured with a standard thermometer agrees more closely with the set-point.
