Page 3: Introduction
Introduction Thank you for purchasing your REED BX-500 Infrared Temperature Calibrator. This calibrator provides accurate temperatures to calibrate non-contact temperature instruments. The BX-500 is capable of generat- ing temperatures up to 932°F (500°C) and is designed to accommodate various infrared thermometers. Please read the following instructions carefully before using your instrument. -
Page 4: Features
• High voltage is used in the operation of this equipment. Severe injury or death may result if one fails to observe safety precautions. • Always replace the fuse with one of the same rating, voltage, and type. • Overhead clearance is required. Do not place this instrument under a cabinet or other structure. • Do not operate near flammable materials. • Use of this instrument at high temperatures for extended periods of time requires caution. • Components and heater lifetime can be shortened by continuous high temperature operation. • Do not use fluids to clean the target surface. Features • For calibrating non-contact temperature instruments (infrared thermometers, pyrometers and thermal imagers) • Wide aperture compensates for optical infrared thermometer variations • Contact RTD reference well located directly behind the blackbody target to assure accurate results www.REEDINSTRUMENTS.com REED-Direct.com... -

Page 8: Status Indicator Description
Note: The fan inside the calibrator has two speeds and runs continu- ously when the unit is in operation. The fan runs slow for heating and maintaining operation and runs fast for rapid cooling. The area around the calibrator must be kept clear to allow adequate ventilation. The airflow is directed out the front and can be extremely hot. Status Indicator Description Note: Using any other parameter other than the ones described in this manual will affect performance and could damage the calibrator. -
Page 9: Keypad Description
Keypad Description The four button keypad allows for easy set-point temperature. The temperature set-point can be set to a resolution of 0.1°F or °C. The SET button is used to confirm the selected value within the parameter and to exit the set up mode and resume normal operation. -
Page 10: Turning Off The Calibrator
Turning Off the Calibrator It is recommended to select a set-point less than 140°F (60°C) and allow the unit to cool down before turning it off. Warning: Do not turn the instrument off at a temperature higher than 212°F (100°C). Lower the temperature below 212°F (100°C) before powering off. -
Page 11: Setting Overload Alarms 1 & 2
Setting Overload Alarms 1 & 2 The calibrator allows a user to set overload alarms when the calibrator temperature is over the temperature set-point. When set and triggered, will turn off the heating power. When set and triggered, will turn the cooling fan on. Note: The default high overload alarms are set to 5°C (8°F). These alarms can be set by following the steps below: Press the button two times until the top screen displays Use the... -
