BBS1500i-40

Large Aperture - Unique for Temperature Range

The BBS1500i-40 is a stable, high-temperature blackbody calibration source which provides automatic calibration. It is ideally used for the calibration of short wavelength pyrometers and thermal imaging cameras between 50 and 1500°C. The large aperture size allows for easy alignment between the BBS and the device under test.

Overview

The BBS 1500i-40 is an adjustable temperature blackbody source with a wide temperature range of 50 to 1500°C (122 to 2732°F) and a 40 mm (1.57”-inch) aperture. It is capable of precise calibration of pyrometers, thermal imaging cameras, FPA detectors, heat flux meters, and spectroradiometers/photometers with spot sizes up to 24 mm. The BBS 1500i-40 outperforms other blackbodies on the market within fast heat up times: 1450°C in 40 minutes. With its cylindrical cavity for providing uniform temperature radiation and simultaneous display of set point and actual temperature values, the BBS1500i-40 is a reliable and easy to read blackbody source.

The BBS1500i-40 is unique in that it can generate calibration certificates for PSC infrared sensors under test using the new SensorCal3, PSC software.  It combines the features of a precisely controlled temperature source with the calibration and adjustment tasks.  The BBS1500i-40 communicates with connected pyrometers and transmits and receives measurement data for manual or fully automatic tasks.

This precision blackbody calibration source is calibrated using a Process Sensors Diadem ultra-high accuracy transfer standard pyrometer.  Once calibrated, the blackbody can be used to calibrate PSC Metis, Sirius and Capella infrared sensing models or items outside our product line such as FPA detectors, heat flux meters, spectroradiometers, and spectrophotometers, etc.  A PC is connected to the BBS1500i-40 and a pyrometer undergoing calibration.  The SensorCal3 PC software can then generate a calibration certificate and other calibration reports.

Auxiliary connections:
- Interface for communication via PC with software
- Pyrometer analog output for analog calibration
