Care and Maintenance
Using the Portable Blackbody
1. Turn on the verifier device, using either a 9-volt battery or the power supply.
Make sure the red LED is illuminated.
2. Allow device ~5 minutes for warm-up and stabilization time.
3. Allow certified master or the two reference thermometers and the instrument to
be tested to acclimate in the same ambient temperature for at least 10 minutes.
4. For all instruments, make sure the lens at the tip of the probe is clean. To
clean, use an alcohol prep or a swab dipped in alcohol, followed by a damp
wipe with water to remove any residue.
5. Alternately insert the reference instrument(s) and the instrument being verified
into the aperture opening, comparing the readings.
