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.
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.

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.
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.
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 •...
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.
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.

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.
CENTRiCAL M and F Benches The CENTRiCAL bench is available in the following models: • CENTRiCAL M, with electronically adjustable height. The motor-lift benches allow you to adjust the table height to optimum working level. The height can be changed electrically from 740 - 1190 mm •...

Warning: Before connecting CENTRiCAL to the mains, check that the mains voltage is as marked on the rear panel of CENTRiCAL. CENTRiCAL is equipped with two power cords. One of them is an IT-socket (marked) and meant for powering computers. It is always powered even if the power is turned off in the instrument panel.
• The vacuum pump is installed in the bench frame with a power socket in the equipment panel and switch in the instrument panel. • CENTRiCAL requires clean, dry and oil free instrument air supply. • High pressure supply for POC8 Automatic Pressure Controller 100 bar and 210 bar units as well as Pressure Output Modules PO20 and PO210.

To connect CENTRiCAL to the electrical network do the following: Be sure that all the ON-OFF-switches in the instrument panel are switched OFF.
(see picture below). When MC6-WS is attached to CENTRiCAL TR or TRT, you can use the USB- port (see picture below) to communicate between MC6-WS and PC.
Support Bars for the Temperature Dry Block The CENTRiCAL TRT Temperature Calibration Trolley includes a table designed to accommodate the Beamex MC6-T Multifunction Temperature Calibrator or other temperature dry blocks. The table features width-adjustable safety stability holders with soft foam pads.

CENTRiCAL Calibration Trolley - 27 Warning: The temperature dry blocks can get very hot during use. Caution: Make sure that the support bars do not block the ventilation holes that are on the sides of the temperature dry block.
Pressure Measurement Modules - 28 Pressure Measurement Modules Panel-mounted pressure modules are used in calibration workshops, and are installed in the instrument panel of the CENTRiCAL calibration bench, trolley or tabletop solutions. All panel-mounted pressure modules have a panel-width of 0.5 MP.
Warning: Disconnect the mains cables and the pressure supply to your CENTRiCAL before you install or uninstall any modules. To install or uninstall a module from your CENTRiCAL make sure both CENTRiCAL and the MC6-WS are shut off. Disconnect the mains cables from the wall outlet.
ID numbers (seen in the user interface of the MC6-WS). When you add a pressure measurement module to the CENTRiCAL, the new module should have a unique number. This is normally pre-set by Beamex. If your MC6-WS has problems locating the new pressure measurement module, please contact Beamex.
