WARNING PLEASE READ FIRST Warning! Do not attempt to measure live circuits. For this application, contact 1.800.342.5335 or email sales@edl-inc.com for information on our recommended line of non-contact infrared pyrometers. Warning! When measuring high temperatures, standard safety precautions must be followed: 1. Use insulated, fireproof gloves.
EDL’s goal is to provide a device that functions well and can be easily maintained for many years without the fear of unavailability of parts. The STS is 100% designed and hand-crafted in our...

Unpack and carefully inspect the unit for any damage that may have occurred in shipping. It is important to alert EDL immediately if there are any visible signs of damage to the instrument. Do Not Plug In the Unit Until It Has Been Inspected. There should be no loose parts or any bent or damaged surfaces on the calibrator.
Operating Interface On the front panel of the STS Calibrator you will find one Fast Cool Switch and four Soft Keys on the Controller. Full operation of the STS is accomplished through the four Soft Keys on the Controller. For convenience, full operation of the STS can also be accomplished through a computer attached to the RS-232 Port via iTools.
Note: iTools gives you complete access to all controller settings and features – including those that should not be altered. Operate with care! In order to maintain the high accuracy and safe operation of the preprogrammed STS, do not change any of the operating parameters! Use iTools for controlling temperature and basic informational purposes only.
Brass STS-SC2-4 Ambient to 350 °C (662 °F) Aluminum/Brass STS-COOL -20 °C to 130 °C (-4 °F to 266 °F) Aluminum Once the Set Point Temperature is set, sufficient time should be allowed for the block to reach the Set Point Temperature and stabilize. Stabilization for most temperature ranges is achieved within 25 minutes after reaching the Set Point Temperature.
6. For the highest accuracies, it is recommended that a secondary, independent reference is used in concert with the reference on the STS. This includes the EDL Reference System as well as a PRT. This will allow you the periodically calibrate the sensor to help minimize errors, and give you better traceability.
Reference System Diagram Step 1: Set STS to the appropriate Set Point Temperature. Step 2: Connect reference instrument to jack on the back of the STS. Step 3: Once the Set Point Temperature has stabilized, begin checking your surface sensors. Hold the surface sensor firmly on block, midway between the rear of the block and the wall.
