General
MC5-IS calibrator is a precision calibration tool that should be used by skilled
people. Working with MC5-IS involves the usage of pressure, temperature
and/or electrical instruments. Be sure to know how to work with these in-
struments and how to safely connect/disconnect pressure hoses as well as
electrical test leads clips, etc.
Use MC5-IS only if you are certain of that it can be used safely. Safe use of
MC5-IS is no longer possible if one or more of the following cases are true:
•
When the case of MC5-IS is evidently damaged
•
When MC5-IS is not functioning as expected
•
After prolonged storage in unfavorable conditions
•
After serious damage during transport
Sometimes it is necessary to use a portable radio transceiver while working
with the calibrator. To prevent calibration errors caused by the radio fre-
quency interference, keep the radio far (at least 1 meter) from the calibrator
and the circuit under calibration while sending.
Use only cables provided by Beamex when connecting MC5-IS
to a PC. Replace faulty cables with new ones from Beamex.
MC5-IS uses a rechargeable Battery Pack. They are considered
as hazardous waste. Dispose used batteries properly accord-
ing to local regulations.
Avoid short circuiting the batteries. The short circuit current
may cause burns to you, damage to the device or even fire.
Notice, that also new replacement batteries are shipped in
charged state.
Rechargeable batteries may vent small amounts of gas during
recharge. The vented gas mixture may be highly explosive, but
normally it diffuses rapidly into the atmosphere. To avoid dan-
ger, use only the original charger and never recharge in a gas-
tight container.
The charger should be used indoors and in a safe area only.
The ambient temperature should not exceed 35 °C (95 °F) dur-
ing use.
To avoid interference: When connecting instruments to MC5-
IS, use shielded cables if the cable length is more than three
meters (approx 10 feet).
The measurement and generation terminals of MC5-IS are pro-
tected against over voltage and over current as far as it has
