Introduction ITC-calibrators are temperature calibrators designed to calibrate temperature sensors and temperature switches. Read this manual carefully before using the instrument and make sure that all safety instructions and warnings are observed. List of equipment received When you receive the instrument, the following should be enclosed: •...
Safety instructions Read this manual carefully before using the instrument! In order to avoid any personal injuries and/or damage to the instrument all safety instructions and warnings must be observed. Disposal – WEEE Directive These calibrators contain Electrical and Electronic circuits and must be recycled or disposed of properly (in accordance with the WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC).

About the insertion tubes and sensor: • Never leave hot insertion tubes which have been removed from the calibrator unsupervised – they may constitute a fire hazard. If you intend to store the calibrator in the optional carrying case after use, you must ensure that the instrument has cooled down to a temperature below 100°C/212°F before placing it in the carrying case.

Caution… About the use: • Do not use the instrument if the ventilator is out of order. About the well, insertion tube and grid plate: • The well and the insertion tube must be clean before use. • The insertion tube must never be forced into the well. The well could be damaged as a result, and the insertion tube may get stuck.
Operating the calibrator Before use Warning • The calibrator must not be used for any purposes other than those described in this manual. • The calibrator has been designed for interior use only and should not be used in hazardous areas, where vapour or gas leaks, etc.

Follow the instructions below before using the calibrator (cf. Fig. 1): Place the calibrator on an even horizontal surface away from all draughts. Caution… Do not use the instrument if the ventilator is out of order. Ensure a free supply of air to the ventilator located at the bottom of the instrument (pos.
Keyboard The keys on the keyboard activate the following functions (cf. Fig. 2): Description UP ARROW button used to adjust temperature values (value increases) and to select menu options. DOWN ARROW button used to adjust temperature values (value decreases) and to select menu options. ENTER button used to accept chosen options.
Used to display set-temperature, time-until-stable and parameter values in the menu system. AUTO STEP symbol used to indicate that the function is active (symbol flashes repeatedly). SWITCH TEST input closed. SWITCH TEST input open. Check mark displayed when the calibrator is stable. Connections The instrument is designed for the following connections (cf.
SWITCH TEST The SWITCH TEST function (cf. Fig. 4) automatically locates the opening/closing temperatures of a thermostat. You must enter a T and a T -temperature which define the range within which the opening/closing temperatures are expected to be found Press .
AUTO STEP The AUTO STEP function (cf. Fig. 5) is used to step automatically between a range of different set-temperatures. Press . The instrument displays the number of set- temperature Press to select the required number of steps. Press to accept your selection. The first set- temperature will flash.
MENU The MENU function (cf. Fig. 6) is used to modify the SETUP parameters. Hold down for approx. 2 seconds. The word will appear on the display. Press . The first SETUP parameter will be displayed. Press to toggle between the SETUP parameters: Temperature unit °C or °F.
Setting the main voltage and replacing the fuses Warning • The fuse box must not be removed from the power control switch until the mains cable has been disconnected. • The two main fuses must be identical and correspond to the chosen voltage.

• ITC-320/650: 115V, 10AF = 60B302 / 230V, 5AF = 60B301 If the fuses blow immediately after you have replaced them, the calibrator should be returned to the manufacturer for service. Slide the fuse box into place with the correct voltage turning upwards.
After use Warning Never leave hot insertion tubes which have been removed from the calibrator unsupervised – they may constitute a fire hazard. If you intend to store the calibrator in the optional carrying case 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.
