1. Safety Information
Use this instrument only as specified in this manual. Otherwise, the protection provided by the instrument may
be impaired. Refer to the safety information in Warnings and Cautions.
1.1 warnings
BURN HAZARD – DO NOT touch the IR target surface of the unit. The temperature of the IR target surface is
the same as the actual temperature shown on the display. If the unit is set at350°C and the display reads350°C,
the target surface is 350°C.The top sheet metal of the instrument may exhibit extreme temperatures for areas
close to the IR target surface.
DO NOT turn off the unit at temperatures higher than 100°C. This could create a hazardous situation. Turning of
the instrument less than 60°C is recommended.
DO NOT connect and operate this unit without a properly grounded, properly polarized power cord.
HIGH VOLTAGE is used in the operation of this equipment. Severe injury or death may result if personnel fail to
observe safety precautions. Before working inside the equipment, turn the power off and disconnect the power
cord.
Overhead clearance is required.
DO NOT place this instrument under a cabinet or other structure.
DO NOT use this unit in environments other than those listed in the user’s guide.
DO NOT operate near flammable materials.
Use of this instrument at HIGH TEMPERATURES for extended periods of time requires caution.
Completely unattended high temperature operation is not recommended for safety reasons.
1.2. Cautions
To avoid possible damage to the instrument, follow these guidelines.
DO NOT plug the unit into 220V if the heater switches and fuse holder read 110V.
This action will cause the fuses to blow and may damage the instrument.
DO NOT use fluids to clean the target surface.
DO NOT change the values of the calibration constants from the factory set values.
The correct setting of these parameters is important to the safety and proper operation of the calibrator.
2. Introduction
The BX-350 Mini Infrared Calibrator is mainly structured by 58mm diameter target assembly and dry-well
temperature system controlled by microcomputer. External reference thermometer is a metal cone with good
heat-conducting ability, on the surface of thermometer there is a oxide film with emissivity 0.95. The BX-350
Calibrator is applied a class-A PT100 as a sensor with a temperature control system and wind-cold device. The
BX-350 calibrator has rapid heating and cooling function and is switch able/which can be used in different
temperature unit calibration. The calibrations can be done over a range of 50°C to350°C .Temperature display
and stability resolution is 0.1 degree.

4. Environmental Conditions
Although the instrument has been designed for optimum durability and trouble-free operation, it must be
handled with care. The instrument should not be operated in an excessively dusty or dirty environment.
Maintenance and cleaning recommendations can be found in the Maintenance section of this manual.
The instrument operates safely under the following conditions:
Verhältnis zwischen IR-Referenztemperatur
und tatsächlicher Abweichung (Delta T)
Temperature range: 5-35°C (41-95°F)
Ambient relative humidity: 15-80%
Pressure: 75kPa – 106kPa
Mains voltage within ±10% of nominal
Vibrations in the calibration environment should be minimized
5. Quick Start
5.1 Unpacking
Unpack the calibrator carefully and inspect it for any damage that may have occurred during hipment. If there is
shipping damage, notify the carrier immediately.
Verify that the following components are present:
PCE-IC1 Calibrator
Power Cord
User’s Guide
5.2 Set Up
Place the calibrator on a flat surface with at least 8 inches of free space around the instrument. The prop may
be swung down to raise the front of the instrument from a horizontal position. Plug the power cord into grounded
mains out let Note: this calibrator has two power specification of one model NO: 220V/AC and 110V/AC
please make sure if the power value is suitable for the instrument before operation.

Turn on the power to the calibrator by toggling the power switch on. The fan should begin quietly blowing air
through the instrument and the controller display should illuminate after 3 seconds. After a brief self-test the
controller should begin normal operation. If the unit fails to operate please check the power connection.
The heater will start operating to bring the temperature of the calibrator to the set-point temperature and the
display will begin to show the actual target temperature.
5.3 Setting the Temperature
1º Press "UP" or "DOWN” to change the set-point value.
2º Then press "SET", the calibrator will automatically control the target assembly temperature to reach the set
temperature in the stated time. The red LED display will indicate the temperature of the target assembly.
When the set-point temperature is changed the controller switches the well heater on or off to raise or lower the
temperature. The displayed well temperature gradually changes until it reaches the set-point temperature. The
well may require 5 to 10 minutes to reach the set-point depending on the span. Another 5 to 10 minutes is
required to stabilize within ±0.1°C of the set-point. Ultimate stability may take 15 to 20 minutes more of
stabilization time.
6. Parts and Controls
The user should become familiar with the calibrator and its parts.

Power Inlet – At the rear of the calibrator is the removable power cord inlet that plugs into an IEC grounded
socket.
Caution: Do not plug the unit into 220V if the heater read 110V. This action will cause the fuses to blow and
may damage the instrument.
Fan – The fan inside the calibrator has two speeds and runs continuously when the unit is being operated to
provide cooling for the instrument. The fan runs slow for heating and maintaining operation and runs fast for
rapid cooling. Slots are provided for airflow. 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.

8. Controller Operation
This chapter discusses in detail how to operate the instrument temperature controller using the front control
panel. Using the front panel key-switches and LED display the user may monitor the well temperature, and the
heater output power and adjust the controller proportional band. The control buttons (SET, DOWN, UP) are
used to set the calibrator temperature set-point.
8.1 Well Temperature
The digital LED display on the front panel allows direct viewing of the actual well temperature. This temperature
value is normally shown on the display. The units, ºC or ºF, of the temperature value are displayed at the right.
For example,
100.0 ºC Well temperature in 100.0 degree Celsius
8.2 Temperature Set-point
The temperature set-point can be set to any value within the range and with resolution as given in the
specifications. Be careful not to exceed the safe upper temperature limit of any device inserted into the well.
Press "UP" to setup the higher temperature, or press "DOWN" to setup the lower temperature.
Press the button every time the temperature will be changed 0.1 ºC or ºF, Press the button constantly the
temperature will be changed 1 ºC or ºF every time. The front panel green LED display will indicate the actual set
temperature.
When the set temperature changes, the value are flashing. Release "UP" or "DOWN" and then press "SET", the
calibrator will automatically control the target assembly. Temperature to reach the set temperature in the stated
time. The red LED display will indicate the temperature of the target assembly.

below 100 ºC after measurement , when the temperature is reduced below 100 ºC the user can turn off the
power.warning: turning off the power at high temperature will be easy to destroy the calibrator , which should
be cooled off by fan.
9. Maintenance
The calibration instrument has been designed with the utmost care. Ease of operation and simplicity of
maintenance have been a central theme in the product development. Therefore, with proper care the instrument
should require very little maintenance. Avoid operating the instrument in dirty or dusty environments.
If the outside of the instrument becomes soiled, it may be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do
not use harsh chemicals on the surface, which may damage the paint.
The calibrator should be handled with care. Avoid knocking or dropping the calibrator.
If the instrument is used in a manner not in accordance with the equipment design, the operation of the
instrument may be impaired or safety hazards may arise.
