Dear User, Thank you for selecting Nagman’s Sub-Zero Temperature Calibrator (Dry Block) and becoming a proud owner of this Calibration Instrument. We have strived hard to ensure the accuracy of the contents of this manual. We would appreciate any suggestions/feedback to...
INTRODUCTION Precision Dry block High Master Temperature Calibrator (METCAL 1200) is used for calibrating RTD’s, Thermocouples, Temperature Switches, Temperature Indicators etc. The front panel continuously shows the current Thermo well block temperature. Desired temperature is set by using keypad which gives the corresponding set value in the display.
