I've withdrawn my offer.... I'm over my laser budget for the month.
I can't possibly understand why a "module" would be damaged bySeriously?
You can paint black back on.. :thinking:
Its a reverse peltier array.. Even if *seriously* abused, your out one, maybe two modules.
theres a dozen or more in a 'Bee thermopile that size.
I gotta agree with bennett here. The coating is pretty important or readings won't be as accurate. If there's any damage and you re-coat, you'll most likely need to recalibrate the meter. The emissivity of a different shade or thicker coating will affect readings.
Maybe Jerry can shed some more light on the subject.
At that time of the day I've already been sleeping for 3 hours...:tired:i was wondering were jerry is i swear he pops in on every lpm thread :crackup:
Hmm.
Well, I use mV, and mA calibration equipment every day, so.. Yeah.. I *can* re-coat it, but using standards I can come up with, and verify against a friends LPM, I have every reason to believe that I can re-calibrate it.
Like getting a full tune up after you bring a new (used) car home..
Edit: I work with high temp lab furnaces..
Any pics of the sensor itself?
The surface of the Sensor has been wiped with something.Sorry everyone I didn't even notice there was damage to it. It was fine before I put it away I'm not really sure how it got damaged.

That can be seen by scratch marks and the missing coating
on the top right corner of the Sensor.
There is also what looks like a horizontal Focused Laser scorch
mark near the right center of the Sensor. (all contrary to the
User Instructions).
Looks like someone didn't all the User Instructions....
You will still get a reading but I would question the accuracy.
The Sensor is not pristine and will require re-coating and
re-calibration IMO.

How much would that run you in for Jerry?
