Isotech 989 Human Body Temperature Black Body Source

Overview

The Isotech 989 is a black body source for calibrating thermal imaging cameras and infrared thermometers in the human body temperature range. Originally developed to assist with temperature screening during the SARS outbreak, the Model 989 is an updated design that is smaller, more portable, and easier to use than the earlier Model 988. It features thermoelectric cooling and heating capabilities, allowing it to both cool and heat the measurement surface, making it suitable for use in high ambient temperatures and below ambient conditions.

Key Features

• Temperature range from 20°C to 50°C with 0.01°C resolution
• Thermoelectric heat pump for both cooling and heating
• Fast response time, typically less than 5 minutes
• PC interface for remote monitoring and temperature adjustment
• 70 mm diameter high-emissivity ridged measurement plate
• Two mounting points for vertical or horizontal operation
• Optional stainless steel protective tube (40 mm or 210 mm lengths)
• Lockable temperature setting to prevent accidental changes
• Operating unit switchable between Celsius and Fahrenheit

Applications

• Calibration of thermal imaging cameras for temperature screening
• Verification and calibration of non-contact infrared thermometers
• Validation of clinical thermometer accuracy
• Thermal imaging system maintenance and quality assurance
