HSICBB-P Portable Calibration Black Body User Manual
1. 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.
Case Latches
2. 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.
3. Operation
1. Open enclosure by pulling up on the two side latches.
2. Set scale switch to desired scale.
3. Set power switch to on position, indicated by “I”.
4. Unit will go through self-check and momentarily
display all display segments.
5. Unit will momentarily blank the display followed by
displaying the blackbody’s current temperature.
6. The unit will update the black body temperature at
approximately ten-second intervals.

4. 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.
1) Turn on IR imager or thermometer and HSICBB-P and allow them to stabilize
30 minutes minimum.
2) Make certain that if the UUT has variable emissivity, it should be set to .95.
2) Aim the UUT at the blackbody target at a distance so that it fills the spot size
or measurement area of the UUT.
3) Compare and record the Blackbody’s display reading to the UUT reading.
4) Document readings as required.
5. 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.
Replace battery with Wahl p/n DSA3060.
“-----“ 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.
