CALsys 250 CAUTIONS To avoid possible damage to the instrument, follow these guidelines. DO NOT connect this unit to a non-grounded, non-polarized outlet. Before working inside the equipment, turn the power off and disconnect the power cord. Always replace the fuse with one of the same rating, voltage, and type.
CALsys 250 3. Introduction: The ‘CALsys 250’ has been designed to provide stable and accurate temperature to enable professionals calibrate Temperature Sensing Devices by comparison method. The ‘CALsys 250’ model has been designed to be rugged and easily maintained. This model provides an isothermal enclosure (Aluminium block) in which the thermocouple/RTD can be calibrated against the temperature of the calibrator.
CALsys 250 3.1 Basic Working of CALsys 250: The calibrator controller uses a PT-100 sensor as a controlling sensor and controls the chamber temperature with Cartridge Heater. obtain maintain a required temperature the controller varies the power to the heater via solid-state relay.

CALsys 250 5. Installation: Place the Calibration Bath on a flat surface with at least 10 inches of free space around the instrument. Overhead clearance is required. DO NOT Place this unit under a cabinet or structure. Plug the power cord into a grounded mains outlet located on the controlling unit rear panel.
Unpack the Furnace carefully and inspect. If you find any damage or any item is missing notify us or our agent. After unpacking you will find the following accessories CALsys 250…………………..1 No Power cord ……………………..1 No RS-232 Cable and Software CD...
CALsys 250 6.1 Instructions: 1. Please open the carrying case carefully and takeout the operating manual from the box and read carefully. 2. Take out the Bath carefully and keep it at suitable place. 3. Connect the power plug to the rear power entry and connect the power plug to the mains.
CALsys 250 7. Operating Instruction: 7.1 Power Plug the calibration bath power cord into mains outlet of the proper voltage, frequency and current capability. Typically this will be (230 VAC±10, 50/60 Hz). Turn the controller using the “Mains” switch located on the controlling section and set the temperature value in the controller.
Directly, First set the controller to 0 Deg C and then wait until the unit is not cooled below 100 Deg C. 7.3 Operating Instruction: 1. Connect the ‘CALsys 250’ to a suitable power supply. 2. Fill the oil in the bath, up to the marked line, Connect the power Supply to the heater and stirrer.

11. When the calibration is completed, reset the controller to 0°C & wait until the unit has cooled to below 100°C, before moving the ‘CALsys 250’ to new location the ‘CALsys 250’ must be cooled to below 100°C.
CALsys 250 8. Operation Of controller: FRONT PANEL LAYOUT 8.1 The Temperature Controller The controller has a dual display, the upper display indicates the measured temperature, and the lower display indicates the desired temperature or set point. 8.2 Altering the Set point To change the set point of the controller simply use the UP and DOWN keys to raise and lower the set point to the required value.
CALsys 250 8.3 Monitoring the Controller Status A row of beacons indicate the controllers status as follows, OP1 Heat Output OP2 Cool Output (only for models which operate below 0°C) REM This beacon indicates activity on the PC interface 8.4 Units Momentary pressing of the Scroll key will show the controller units °C or °F.
CALsys 250 r.tc R thermocouple (Pt/Pt13%Rh) b.tc B thermocouple (Pt30%Rh/Pt6%Rh) n.tc N thermocouple t.tc T thermocouple S.tc S thermocouple (Pt/Pt10%Rh) PL.2 PL 2 thermocouple PT-100 platinum resistance thermometer. T012 E thermocouple Again the value can be modified with the UP and DOWN keys.
CALsys 250 8.6.3 How to know Auto tune has done: Whenever ‘AUTO TUNE’ is ‘ON’ there will always be a rolling message ‘AUTO TUNE’ on display of controller. When the display is not showing this continues message it means Auto tune is complete.

CALsys 250 9. Digital Communications: RS-232 is a standard communication protocol for linking computer and its peripheral devices to allow serial data exchange. RS-232 communications uses the Modbus protocol. Rs-232 communications is not available if Remote Set point is fitted. Cable screen should be grounded at one point only to prevent earth loops.
Page 24
CALsys 250 9.1 Digital Communications Wiring To use EIA232 the PC will be equipped with an EIA232 port, usually referred to as COM 1.To construct a cable for EIA232 operation use a three core screened cable. The terminals used for EIA232 digital communications are listed in the table below. Some PC's use a 25 way connector although the 9 way is more common.
