9009 User’s Guide Accessories The inserts in this section are available for the Product. Inserts may be used with either the hot or cold temperature wells. Figure 1. Constant Temperature Block Calibration Wells Removable insert sleeves 12.7 mm (1/2 in) O.D. x 101.6 mm (4 in) deep...
Industrial Dual-Block Calibrator General Operation General Operation Change Display Units The temperature units are factory defaulted to Celsius. To change to Fahrenheit or back to Celsius: 1. Push SET and UP simultaneously. The temperature display changes units. 1. Push SET three times to store the changes. Un= C 2.
9009 User’s Guide Temperature Set-point Set the temperature set-point to any value within the range and resolution as given in the specifications. Do not exceed the safe upper temperature limit of any device inserted into the well. To set the temperature, select the set-point memory and adjust the set-point value.
9009 User’s Guide Temperature Scale Units Temperature Scale Units. Scan Set and enable the scan rate so that when the set-point is changed the Product heats or cools at a specified rate (degrees per minute) until it reaches the new set-point. With the scan disabled the Product heats or cools at the maximum possible rate.
Industrial Dual-Block Calibrator Secondary Menu Heater Power The temperature controller controls the temperature of the well by pulsing the heater on and off. The total power applied to the heater is determined by the duty cycle or the ratio of heater on time to the pulse cycle time.
9009 User’s Guide The proportional band width is set at the factory. The proportional band width is easily adjusted from the front panel. Set the width to discrete values in degrees C or F, which depends on the selected units.
Industrial Dual-Block Calibrator Controller Configuration Serial Interface Parameters The serial RS-232 interface parameters menu is indicated by, Serial RS-232 interface parameters menu SErIAL The serial interface parameters menu contains parameters which determine the operation of the serial interface. These controls only apply to instruments fitted with the serial interface. The parameters in the menu are: BAUD rate, sample period, duplex mode, and linefeed.
9009 User’s Guide Duplex Mode The duplex mode can be set to full duplex or half duplex. With full duplex, any commands received by the calibrator with the serial interface will be immediately echoed or transmitted back to the device of origin.
Industrial Dual-Block Calibrator Digital Communication Interface The calibration parameters R0, ALPHA, DELTA, and BETA (cold side only) characterize the resistance-temperature relationship of the platinum control sensor. These parameters may be adjusted by an experienced user to improve the accuracy of the calibrator. The calibration parameter name flashes on the display and the Product shows the current value.
9009 User’s Guide Wiring The three-conductor jack for the serial port is located on the top of the Product. Figure shows the pin- out of this connector and suggested cable wiring. The TxD line on one side connects to the RxD line on the other and vice-versa.
Industrial Dual-Block Calibrator Interface Commands Interface Commands Note When you send a command, preface the command with either a C: (cold side) or H: (hot side). If the C: or H: are left off, the returned value is for the hot side. The various commands to access calibrator functions through the digital interface are listed in this section (see Table 3).

9009 User’s Guide Calibrator Characteristics There is a temperature gradient vertically in the test well. The heater has been applied to the block in such a way as to compensate for nominal heat losses out of the top of the calibrator. However, actual heat losses will vary with design of the thermometer probes inserted into the calibrator.
Industrial Dual-Block Calibrator Calibration Procedure Calibration Procedure Follow these steps for the calibration procedure: 1. Choose the set-points to use in the calibration of the R0, ALPHA, DELTA, and BETA parameters. These set-points are generally -15 °C, 0 °C, 60 °C, and 110 °C (5 °F, 32 °F, 140 °F, and 230 °F) but other set-points can be used.
