Calibration Adjustments

The Model 65 Infrared Thermometer should be calibrated and, if necessary, adjusted annually using the following procedure:

Caution

To avoid inaccurate readings during calibration, expose the UUT to the blackbody heat source only long enough to complete the measurement

(< 15 seconds). Between measurements, move the UUT to an area not affected by the heat source.

Caution

Do not make any calibration adjustments when UUT is in factory calibration mode (refer to Figure 2). Doing so will cause the UUT to give inaccurate readings, and you will need to return the UUT to a Fluke service center for recalibration.

1.Turn on the UUT.

2.Press and hold Fand D until all display segments are lit (about 5 seconds); then also press and hold Eand G until the UUT displays 1_L (about 5 seconds), as shown in Figure 2. To scroll the calibration menu, press F or D.

3.Set up the UUT and the blackbody as described under “Setting Up for Performance Tests and Calibration”.

4.In the room-temperature adjustment mode (display shows 1_L), press G. The default room temperature appears on the UUT display.

5.Verify that the UUT thermopile is centered on the blackbody target; then use F or D to adjust the UUT reading down or up, respectively, to match the room temperature reading at 0.95 emissitivity.

6.When you have set the UUT reading to room temperature at 0.95 emissivity, press G. The UUT display flashes briefly, then returns to the calibration selection mode.

7.Use the emissivity error correction table to adjust the blackbody for an output of 350 °C at 0.95 emissivity.
