Reed Instruments BX-500 IR Temperature Calibrator with NIST

High-Precision Portable Calibration for Non-Contact Thermometers

The Reed Instruments BX-500-NIST is a portable, benchtop dry-well calibrator engineered to verify the accuracy of infrared thermometers in the field or the lab. With a broad range reaching 932°F (500°C), it provides a stable and uniform thermal target for testing a wide variety of IR sensors. This model includes a Traceable Calibration Certificate to ensure your quality control processes remain compliant with international standards.

Key Technical Advantages

• Wide Temperature Range: Quickly adjust and stabilize temperatures from 122 to 932°F (50 to 500°C) for comprehensive tool testing.

• Large Target Surface: The 2.25" (57mm) blackbody target is designed to accommodate different field-of-view requirements, ensuring accurate readings even from a distance.

• Rapid Heat-Up & Stability: Reach your desired set point quickly with a highly stable internal controller that maintains temperature consistency for repeatable results.

• User-Friendly Interface: Features a clear LED display showing both the target and actual temperatures, making it easy to confirm your IR thermometer's performance at a glance.

Ideal Applications for the REED BX-500

• Calibration Labs: Use as a primary or secondary standard for verifying non-contact temperature sensors.

• Food Processing & Safety: Calibrate IR thermometers used to monitor critical storage and cooking temperatures to ensure HACCP compliance.

• Industrial Maintenance: Regularly verify the tools used to monitor electrical panels, motors, and bearings to prevent false alarms or missed failures.

• HVAC/R Systems: Test thermometers used for measuring vent outputs, boiler surfaces, and cooling coils.

• Quality Assurance: Maintain a regular calibration schedule for all facility-wide infrared temperature tools to meet strict internal safety standards.
