WARNING! Avoid electric shock risk when touching the equipment: - Use only suitable power cable with earth connection; - Never power the equipment to the mains socket without earth connection. WARNING! High voltage is present inside this equipment. Do not make any repair service inside the equipment without removing the plug from the supply.
This calibrator also has input for thermocouples and resistance thermometers, as well as current meter function. • The T-500PIR generates temperature from ambient to 500 ºC. • Has input for thermocouples, RTDs and thermoswitches reading. • The use of external standard thermometer is not required*.
PRESYS Instruments T-500PIR T-500PIR has also many other features, such as: • The electric signal calibrator is independent from the blackbody target function. • Internal buzzer beeps when the temperature reaches the desired value. • Keypad that eases the operation and configuration of the calibrator.
Instruments T-500PIR 2.0 - T-500PIR Calibrator Operating The T-500PIR calibrator keeps controlled the temperature of the black body cavity and is suitable for calibration of infrared thermometers. The calibrator has 3 operating modes: • Manual Mode to select the temperature straight from the keypad •...
PRESYS Instruments T-500PIR 2.1 - IN Menu mV, mA, SW: selects millivolt, milliampere or switch input, respectively. OHM: selects ohms input. Following, choose from the menu the wiring in 2, 3 or 4-wire. 2-WIRE 3-WIRE 4-WIRE TC: selects thermocouple input. Choose between J, K, T, E, N and L types. In the next menu, the internal or manual cold junction compensation is chosen.
PRESYS Instruments T-500PIR 2.2 - CONF Menu CF: Selects the temperature unit between ºC and ºF. The ITS-90 or IPTS-68 temperature scales are selected for both for input readings and the internal reference blackbody target ºC-90 ºF-90 ºC-68...

PRESYS Instruments T-500PIR BZ: Menu that configures the piezoelectric buzzer. ENDCAL NO: Disables the buzzer. YES: The buzzer beeps when the cavity reaches the set point and stabilizes. ENDCAL: The buzzer beeps only at the end of a calibration in the automatic operating mode TU: Menu that configures the PID control parameters for the heating side.

PRESYS Instruments T-500PIR VARIABLE Change the configuration to STEPS of 10%, 20%, 25%, VARIABLE or press C/CE to maintain the configuration already stored in memory. The temperature range of the program must be configured through the values in SET POINT HIGH and SET POINT LOW in case of 10%, 20% or 25% fixed steps of the range.
Instruments T-500PIR MEM: The T-500PIR calibrators allow many special programs and functions that can be of frequent use. In situations like this, it would be useful to store the current configuration in memory in order to save time. Up to 8 configurations can be stored in memory.
PRESYS Instruments T-500PIR 2.4 - Programmable Operating Mode Pre-configured programs can be loaded from the calibrator memory, enabling the programmable operating mode. The temperature programmed values of the cavity are used directly, with no need to enter the set point.
The infrared thermometer calibration is performed in an automatic way by the T-500PIR calibrator. The configuration, as well as the calibration verification is carried out by the calibrator itself. Also it is possible to use the ISOPLAN software and its work orders, like a CAC - Computer Aided Calibration.

The selection of the manual tag is performed by confirming the option TAGMAN with the key ENTER. The option ADDRESS selects the communication address of the T-500PIR calibrator. The communication protocol used is ModBus - RTU, with no parity and baud rate of 9600.
The external sensor is an optional accessory that may be purchased to increase the accuracy of temperature indication. This sensor is supplied with the parameters of the Callendar-Van Dusen that can be configured in the RTD input of T-500PIR calibrator.
Input sensor is open and sensor 6.0 - PID Control Parameters The T-500PIR calibrators have a PID control algorithm to calculate the temperature control output. The black body cavity stability and response time features are related to the PID parameters, explained below: The K parameter (proportional gain) amplifies the error signal between the set point and the cavity temperature to establish the output signal.
PRESYS Instruments T-500PIR 7.0 - Calibration Warning: Enter the following options only after understanding them completely. Otherwise, it may be necessary to return the instrument to the factory for recalibration! In this manual, Calibration means Adjustment. Select CAL option from the main menu and press the ENTER key. You should then enter the password (PASSWORD) 9875 to access the calibration menu.

PRESYS Instruments T-500PIR Input calibration for is performed in two steps: a) Application of mV signal: For the calibration below, leave terminals RTD3 (+) and RTD4 (+) short-circuited. mV Signal Terminals 1 st point 2 nd point V_OHM3 RTD3(+) and mV(-) 90.000 mV...
PRESYS Instruments T-500PIR 7.2 - Probe Calibration The options of CAL>PROBE are: ºC RESTORE ºC: Adjust of the internal temperature sensor (internal Probe). RESTORE: Restores the internal temperature sensor calibration parameters to the factory values. To readjust the internal Probe it is necessary to compare the value indicated by the calibrator (Probe) and the temperature value from an external probe placed in an insert.
The fuse may blow due to a voltage spike in the mains or a calibrator component fault. Replace the fuse once. If a second fuse blows again, it is because the fault is not that simple. Contact the Presys technical assistance or send the calibrator to the factory for repair.
