    CENTRiCAL can be tailored according to your specific needs and is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including temperature and electrical calibrations. There are various electrical modules available, such as laboratory power supplies, multimeters or oscilloscopes.
  • Page 6: Typographical Conventions

    All the modules purchased with CENTRiCAL are pre-installed in the instrument panel at the factory. The POC8 is panel-mounted to CENTRiCAL calibration trolley or tabletop case. With CENTRiCAL benches, it is used on a swivel arm support and needs to be installed by the customer.
  • Page 7 CENTRiCAL Workshop Calibration Solution is available in various configurations and can be equipped with several different calibration products and modules. The delivery content for every CENTRiCAL solution is different since it depends on the configuration selected. If your CENTRiCAL contains MC6-WS Advanced Workshop Calibrator and Communicator, a leaflet listing the calibrator's standard accessories is included in the package.
  • Page 8: Safety

    Clean, dry and oil free instrument air Safety Precautions and Warnings CENTRiCAL contains precision tools that should be used by skilled people who have read and understood this and possible adjoining manuals. Working with CENTRiCAL involves the usage of pressure and/or electrical instruments. Be sure to know how to work with these instruments and how to safely connect/ disconnect pressure hoses as well as electrical test leads clips, etc.
  • Page 9: General Warnings

    Safety - 9 Use CENTRiCAL only if you are certain of that it can be used safely. Safe use is no longer possible in the following cases: • When the bench or a module has a clear visible damage • When the device is not functioning as expected •...
  • Page 10: Warnings Concerning Pressure Measurement

    Safety - 10 Note: If your CENTRiCAL also includes an MC6-WS, it contains lithium-ion batteries. Read the warnings concerning lithium-ion batteries in the MC6-WS manual. Warnings concerning Pressure Measurement Warning: We recommend using only the optional pressure hose sets or pressure fittings delivered by Beamex. The maximum rated pressure is indicated on the hose.
  • Page 11: Warnings Concerning High Pressure

    Safety - 11 Note: Pressure modules with a measuring range of 6 bar (90 psi) or less are overpressure protected. If the measurement pressure of a pressure module exceeds the module’s maximum pressure value, the overpressure protector vents excess pressure through a hole in the rear of the case.
  • Page 12 Safety - 12 Warning: High pressure gas is dangerous because it can break the container and the flying splinters may cause injury. Also small leaks of gas may be dangerous because the high velocity of the leaking gas jet enables penetration through skin. If a gas bubble gets into the circulatory system, it can cause death.
