General
Congratulations for selecting the ultimate calibration tool!
MC5-IS is an Intrinsically Safe, documenting, All-In-One Multifunc-
tion Calibrator with calibration capability of pressure, temperature,
electrical and frequency signals. As a member of Beamex's QCAL
Quality Calibration family, it is of course able to communicate with
the available QCAL calibration software. MC5-IS' modularity al-
lows customized construction. If requirements increase in the fu-
ture, new functionality may be added by getting additional mod-
ules, e.g. adding temperature and/or electrical modules to an MC5-
IS that previously only included pressure modules.
Thanks to the logical user interface MC5-IS is very easy to use. The
large graphical display guides the user in different languages and it
displays results both numerically and graphically.
MC5-IS performs automatic calibration of electrical and tempera-
ture process instruments. MC5-IS also communicates with HART
field instruments.
MC5-IS represents the state of the art in accuracy, adaptability and
all-round usability.
This User Guide is divided in four parts: A, B, C and D.
•
Part A discusses general matters. There is also a chapter about
safety.
•
Part B describes the basic use of MC5-IS such as measur-
ing and generating signals.
•
Part C handles configuration level usage, some optional
software utilities and also offers some additional information
concerning pressure measurement, RTD and T/C measure-
ment/simulation.
•
Part D concentrates on calibration and matters related to
calibration like handling instrument data.
The even page header displays the title of the active part. The odd
page header displays the main subject (Heading level 1). The header
of each odd page also indicates the
active part as shown in the adja-
cent picture (with Part B active).
Use the information provided in the headers as a quick guide when
searching for a particular subject.
