2.0 Introduction The JOFRA DLC-155, DLC-158, DLC-159, DLC- 168, DLC-187, DLC-250 and DLC-700 probes are designed for fast and traceable calibration and temperature measuring with JOFRA RTC-156/157 B/C, JOFRA RTC-158 B/C, JOFRA RTC-159 B/C, JOFRA RTC-168 B/C, JOFRA RTC-187 B/C, JOFRA RTC-250 B/C and JOFRA RTC-700 B/C systems and are ready for use.
• DLC-250 : 0°C to 250°C / 32°F to 482°F • DLC-700 : 0°C to 700°C / 32°F to 1292°F The JOFRA DLC-155, DLC-158, DLC-159, DLC- 187, DLC-250 and DLC-700 probes may be supplied with a certificate for a limited temperature range.
Connections The probes are delivered with a connecting cable. The pin-layout is as follows: Pin 1 : TC V- Pin 2 : TC V+ Pin 3 : Memory GND Pin 4 : Memory I/O The figure below is shown from the connector side of the probe connector.
4.0 Operation Operation area All the probes are intended for use in areas which meet the following: Ambient temperature range -20°C to 70°C (-4°F to 158°F) Humidity 0% to 90% Protection class : IP 50 Warning Do not use in hazardous areas. 127414 2021-10-29 Page 8...
5.0 Maintenance The probe does not require specific maintenance before or after use. The user may carry out the following procedure himself: • Cleaning the probe : Use alcohol or water and a soft cloth Caution … • The probe must always be protected against any mechanical damage.
• An insert with correct size holes for the DLC- probe and the temperature probe. • For calibrating DLC-155, DLC-158, DLC-159, DLC-187 and DLC-250: an AMETEK type 127356 temperature probe, order no. 127587 (recommended) or similar with short measuring zone is required.

The following procedure is repeated for each temperature: 1. Set the SET temperature. 2. Place the reference temperature probe in the bottom of the insert. Wait until the temperature have stabilized and the DLC-reading is 0.00°C. If the DLC-reading continuously shows a positive value at -30°C (RTC-156) / -45°C (RTC-157) / -22°C (RTC-158) / -100°C (RTC-159) / -30°C (RTC-168) / -45°C (RTC-187), increase the SET-temperature in...
