Teledyne FLIR 4in. Blackbody Source for ALC & Supplemental FFC

FLIR 12V 4″ Blackbody Source

for ALC & Supplemental FFC, offers a uniform temperature source for FLIR Tau 2 Thermal Cameras.

Low cost 4-inch blackbody which provides a uniform temperature source when using FLIR’s Alt Lens Cal software to field-calibrate lens-less Photon or Tau cameras with third-party lenses, or to take advantage of the Supplemental Flat Field Correction (FFC) option available in the Tau 2, Vue Pro and many other  radiometric camera models.

A blackbody is an important contributor to accurate thermography. In theory, a blackbody is an object with a known emissivity of 1, which means that it perfectly absorbs and radiates all thermal energy. In practice, blackbody simulators based on the theoretical model have an emissivity ranging from 0.9 to 0.99. This is good enough to provide the information needed to correctly calibrate a thermal camera.

• The FLIR Blackbody requires DC Voltage and has an input range of 0-24VDC.
• There are two power input plugs on the side of the blackbody, red is positive voltage, and black is ground.
• The kit includes one power supply that outputs 12VDC and gives an approximate blackbody temperature of 60° C / 140° F.

Temperature settings can be modified by the customer, depending on the power supply voltage. A voltage-to-approximate-temperature conversion table is provided.
