    Safety instructions Read this manual carefully before doing any maintenance on the instruments! Please follow the instructions and procedures described in this manual in order to maintain the instruments correctly and to avoid any personal injuries and/or damage to the instruments.
  • Page 7: Maintenance

    Maintenance Adjusting and calibrating the instrument You are advised to return the calibrator to Ametek Denmark A/S or an accredited laboratory at least once a year for calibration and adjustment. Alternatively, you can calibrate/adjust the calibrator yourself. You will need a calibrated, traceable sensor and thermometer with an accuracy better than ±0.1°C / ±0.18°F (all MTC and CTC instruments...

Adjust the date by toggling through the available days, months and years. Begin by selecting the required day as shown below: Press to select the required day in the interval 1-...
  • Page 14 Press to accept your selection. The day will be adjusted if necessary to ensure the legality of the date. Finally, the day, month and year will flash: Press to accept the date. press to cancel the whole selection. Switch the instrument off and on again using the power control switch and cool down the instrument.

    Over 100°C/212°F If the calibrator has been heated up to temperatures above 100°C/212°F, you must wait until the instrument reaches a temperature below 100°C/212°F before you switch it off. Below 0°C/32°F (applies only to CTC/MTC-140 A models) If the calibrator has reached a temperature below 0°C/32°F,...
  • Page 16 If you intend to store the calibrator in the aluminium carrying case (optional – for CTC) after use, you must ensure that the instrument has cooled to a temperature below 100°C/212°F before placing it in the carrying case. 26-03-2004...

  • Page 20 Error: Fan does not work. Likely cause: Solution: Fan obstructions: Remove any obstructions. Supply for fan: CTC-140 A, MTC-140 A Check the supply on CN2 terminal 1(+) and terminal 2(-) on the POWER PCB. • If supply voltage is 11-18V, replace fan.
  • Page 21 MTC-140 A only). Likely cause: Solution: • Defective well: Set the SET temperature to -40°C. Measure the voltage between CN6 terminal 1(+) and terminal 2(-) and the voltage between CN3 terminal 1(+) and terminal 2(-). If the voltage on CN3 is higher than 18V, replace the well and re-calibrate the unit.
  • Page 22 - approx. 22 ohm for CTC-650 - approx. 4-5 ohm for CTC- 1200 A Turn on the instrument and set the SET temperature to: - 320°C (CTC-320 A/B, MTC- 320 A) - 650°C (CTC-650 A/B, MTC- 650 A) or - 1200°C (CTC-1200 A) Check that relay K1 has been pulled.
  • Page 23 If the relay has not been pulled, check that the over- temperature sensor (CTC- 320/650 A, CTC-1200 A, MTC- 320/650 A) or the short circuit connector (CTC-320/650 B) has been mounted and is OK. If the sensor/switch is OK, change and adjust the POWER PCB.
