Wahl HSICBB-P Portable Calibration Black Body

Application

The Wahl HSICBB-P is a portable ambient temperature black body used for single point calibration and checking of Infrared Thermal Imaging Cameras and Point Infrared Thermometers. It is housed in a watertight IP67 carrying case.

User Controls

Scale switch – front panel switch is used to select between °F and °C scale. Changing the switch position will result in a change of the scale and displayed temperature on the next display update cycle.
Power switch – front panel switch is used to power on or off the HSICBB-P.

Operation

Open enclosure by pulling up on the two side latches.
Set scale switch to desired scale.
Set power switch to on position, indicated by “I”.
Unit will go through self-check and momentarily display all display segments.
Unit will momentarily blank the display followed by displaying the blackbody’s current temperature.

The unit will update the black body temperature at approximately ten-second intervals.

Typical Calibration Technique and procedure

Stabilization – It is important that both the IR measuring device (Unit Under Test – UUT) being calibrated and the HSICBB-P Calibration Black Body are thermally stable. They should be in a stable (± 4°F) ambient temperature for a minimum period of 30 minutes. This will result in a more accurate calibration check.

Turn on IR imager or thermometer and HSICBB-P and allow them to stabilize 30 minutes minimum.
Make certain that if the UUT has variable emissivity, it should be set to .95.
Aim the UUT at the blackbody target at a distance so that it fills the spot size or measurement area of the UUT.
Compare and record the Blackbody’s display reading to the UUT reading.
Document readings as required.

Error Codes

Cbl1, Cbl2, Cbl3 and Cbl4 indicate open cable or open sensor.
Low Batt – Icon in bottom right corner of display indicates battery voltage is low.
“ ————— “ Indicates battery below level for reliable reading.
Replace battery. For S/N prior to 37105.xxx, use DSA3062 “C” size battery. For S/N after 37105.xxx, use battery #12234-03, “AA” size battery.

Battery Replacement

When Low Batt Icon or “—-” are displayed replace the battery.
For S/N prior to 37105.xxx use Wahl P/N DSA3062, “C” size, 3.6Volt, Lithium Thionyl Chloride Battery.
For S/N after 37105.xxx or S/N that are formatted as “##-#####.###” (example: 19-
12345.001) or later use Wahl P/N 12234-03, “AA” size, 3.6V, Lithium Thionyl Chloride Battery.
The proper replacement battery part number is indicated on the inside of the door.

To replace the battery

Unlatch and open the door.
Make sure the unit is powered off.
Remove the 10 screws with plastic washers, setting them aside.
Lift the panel out of the housing, noting the orientation.
On the PC Board mounted to the rear of the panel, remove battery from holder.
Install the new battery, observing the polarity markings on the battery holder.
Reinstall the panel, in the proper orientation.
Reinstall the 10 screws with washers.
Turn the power switch to the on position and verify the low batt warning has gone off.
