Preface Welcome to the Temperature Calibrator (CALsys 1500) user guide. This guide provides detailed information about all the product options and features, and explains how to use the product and configure basic settings to suit your requirements. This user manual contains information about the product and its proper use and should be kept in a place where it will be easy to access.
Temperature Calibrator (CALsys 1500) User's Guide Electrical Safety WARNING: Before using this equipment, make sure it is properly grounded. Make sure the ground conductor wire (colored green/yellow) in the main power cable is connected to a protective earth/ground. If the equipment is not properly grounded, the high voltage may flow through the equipment body (chassis).
After use, do not return the apparatus to its carrying case until the unit has cooled down. There are no user serviceable parts inside. When required, contact Tempsens agent for repair. Ensure all materials, especially flammable materials are kept away from the hot parts of the apparatus, to prevent fire risk.
Temperature Calibrator (CALsys 1500) User's Guide Cautions and Preventions To avoid possible damage to the instrument, follow these guidelines: Before working inside the equipment, turn the power off and disconnect the power cord. DO NOT turn the unit upside down with the inserts in place; the inserts will fall out of the unit.
Introduction 1.1 About CALsys 1500 The 'CALsys 1500' has been designed to provide stable and accurate temperature to enable professionals to calibrate Temperature Sensing Devices by comparison method. The 'CALsys 1500' model has been designed to be rugged and easily maintained. This model provides an isothermal enclosure (ceramic block) in which the thermocouple/RTD/Pyrometer can be calibrated against the temperature of the calibrator.
There is one electricity driven fan which is situated under the heating chamber for cooling the heater. The CALsys 1500 calibrator was designed for laboratory, moderate cost and ease of operation. With proper use the instrument should provide continued accurate calibration of temperature sensors and devices.
Introduction 1.5 Technical Specification CALsys 1500BB has the following technical specifications: PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Voltage 230 V AC±10 Power 3 KW Supply Frequency 50/60 Hz Temperature Range 500°C to 1500°C Resolution 0.1 °C (upto 999.9°C above 1.0°C) ±0.2°C at 500°C Stability ±0.3°C at 1000°C ±0.5°C at 1500°C Uniformity...

2. Take out the temperature calibrator unit carefully and keep it at suitable place. 3. Install inner chamber as instructed in Installation of CALsys 1500 Chapter -3 of this user guide. 4. Connect the power plug to the mains.
3.1 Turning ON the unit Plug the CALsys 1500 power cord into mains outlet of the proper voltage, frequency and current capability. Typically this will be (230 VAC±10, 50/60 Hz). Using the “ON/OFF” (for heater supply) switch located at front side responsible for heating of furnace.
3.3 Operating Instruction 1. After the complete installation. 2. Connect the 'CALsys 1500' to a suitable power supply. ON the Mains switch located at back side with power entry. 3. Set the desire temperature value in PID by using UP & Down key.
10. When the calibration is complete, reset the controller to 0°C & wait until the unit has cooled to below 350°C, before moving the 'CALsys 1500 to new location the 'CALsys 1500' must be cooled below 350°C before it can be put back into its carrying case.
Chapter 4 Operating Unit Controller 4.1 Front Panel Layout The following image shows the front panel of CALsys 1500. Measured Temperature Required Temperature PAGE SCROLL DOWN UP 4.2 The Temperature Controller The upper display of the controller indicates the measured temperature, the middle display indicates the desired temperature or set point and lower display shows output power demand.
Digital Communication Chapter 5 Digital Communication Digital Communication allows the controller to communicate with a PC or a networked computer system through RS-232 (or EIA232) protocol. RS-232 (or EIA232) is a standard communication protocol for linking computer and its peripheral devices to allow serial data exchange. RS-232 communication is not available if Remote Set point is fitted.

Software Installation To set the temperature of furnace as per your requirement, type the required temperature in Set Point (°C) field, and click Set. PVI Value displays the current present value of furnace temperature. The Scale Trend section enables you to configure Y-Axis Min (minimum value: 0), Y-Axis Max (maximum value: 1500), Maximum Time Span of data logging up to 120 minutes, and then click the Start Graph button.
Chapter 7 Service & Maintenance 7.1 Routine Service Turn the electricity supply off before attempting any cleaning operation. The only moving part is the fan. That has sealed-for-life bearings. Depending on the environment in which it is used, periodic cleaning is recommended.
