BB-2A 66°C to 343°C Temperature Blackbody Calibrator

 Supported Applications

The Omega BB-2A Series Blackbody Calibration Source is a portable, rugged bench-top device designed for testing and calibrating non-contact infrared temperature instruments. It serves as an economical reference signal source for pyrometers and provides long-term repeatability measurement capabilities for laboratory sensors.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The series operates within a temperature range of 66 to 343°C (150 to 650°F). The unit features a circular target area with an emissivity of 0.95 and includes a built-in dial indicating thermometer for temperature readout. Accuracy is specified as ±2% of rdg.

Configuration Options

The BB-2A series offers configurable power supply options to accommodate different electrical environments:

• Voltage and Frequency: 120 Vac*, 50/60 Hz or 240 Vac, 50/60 Hz.
• Power Consumption: 750 W for both voltage configurations.

The unit includes a potentiometer power controller and features the following physical characteristics:

• Target Size: 159 mm (6.25") Dia.
• Overall Dimensions: 165 W x 229 H x 140 mm D (6.5 x 9.0 x 5.5").
• Weight: 2.5 kg (5.5 lb).

The series is intended for indoor use only and must be protected from moisture and rain.

Key Product Differences

Differences between models are defined by the power supply voltage, indicated in the model number:

• BB-2A: Blackbody calibration source configured for 120 Vac.
• BB-2A-240V (or BB-2A-230): Blackbody calibration source configured for 240 Vac or 230 Vac. For 230 Vac, add “-230” to the model number at no additional charge.

The unit is not recommended as a primary calibration reference.
