The operator must have the approval to use the calibrator and understand the applicable safety issues. Druck can give support for the use of its products by personal training or by the supply of related documentation. The customer must do customer-specific and application-specific tests to make sure that the product is applicable for its planned use.
Page 12
You can select the expert mode for administration and configuration, for the selection of the function, DUT and testing tasks. Knowledge about calibration is necessary, to let settings be made in this mode and how to use the calibrator. Contact Druck for specific training.

These protected test tasks cannot be erased or changed. They function as templates for your own specified test tasks. They can be copied and then changed. This task must not be completed without special training from Druck. You can make your own test tasks for different DUT or test sequences. These test tasks are directly saved in the calibrator and can be easily started.

Make sure that the calibrator is always connected to a protective earth. Always use a known good mains cable with an applicable power plug. Use only a Druck specified mains cable. Make sure that the mains outlet is correctly rated and has a protective earth connection.
Page 19
Use adapter sleeves with single or multiple holes for the calibration of straight temperature sensors. For adapter sleeve Insert compatibility, see Section 3.2 on page 7. 1 Brass adapter sleeves for PTC200. Aluminum bronze alloy adapter sleeves for PTC700. 2 Aluminum adapter sleeves for PTC165(i) and PTC255(i).
Page 20
4.3.1.1 Installation INFORMATION Use only Druck adapter sleeves. If in doubt, contact Druck. Use the Insert exchange tool to put the adapter sleeve into the dry block, see Figure 5 item 3. 4.3.1.2 External Reference Sensor Align the adapter sleeve so that the hole for the external reference sensor is at the 12 o’clock position.

4.3.5 Tub Insert WARNING Use safety goggles. Calibration liquid can be ejected when with the tub insert is used. Always use safety goggles when calibration liquids are held. INFORMATION Do not directly fill the PTC with liquid. Always use a tub Insert to contain the calibration liquid.
Page 24
The work cover is screwed on to the micro bath and has five openings for DUT. The openings not used can be closed with the applicable silicone plugs, as shown in Figure 10. 4.3.5.2 Sensor Cage and Magnetic Stirrer The sensor cage protects the magnetic stirrer: this stops interference between a DUT and the rotation of the magnetic stirrer.
Page 25
Note: It is recommended to use silicone oil as the calibration liquid. When silicone oil is the calibration liquid: • Always read the safety data sheet supplied with the silicone oil before use. • Always make sure of adequate ventilation when silicone oil is used: dangerous substances can be released when the oil is heated.
Page 26
The maximum fill levels are shown below: 1 Tub Insert. 2 Sensor cage. 3 Tub Insert transport cover. 4 Magnetic stirrer. 5 Glass spacer Figure 13: Maximum Fill Level Parameter Maximum Fill Level (h) 136 mm (5.35″) Fill Volume ~0.32 liters (10.82 fl oz) Note: The maximum fill level line for the tub Insert is below the sleeve exchange tool fixture.
Page 27
Put the sensor cage, together with a DUT, into position: this reduces the volume necessary for the calibration fluid. The DUT can be removed after the liquid is put in. This is necessary if the DUT is too long and will stop the attachment of a Transport cover (page 16). Fill the Tub Insert with calibration liquid.
Page 28
4.3.7 Measurement Interference Suppression Electromagnetic interference can change a measurement value if a DUT cable has no cable screen. Use a clamp-on ferrite to cancel this effect. Insert the DUT cable into the clamp-on ferrite. It is recommended to wind the DUT cable with more than one turn around the clamp-on ferrite. For optimum results, make sure the ferrite’s damping properties are compatible with the interference frequency.

6. Calibration WARNING Warm up before the first calibration. Let the calibrator warm up for minimum of one hour before the first calibration. For example: make the calibrator operate until the first test point is met. IMPORTANT Before the calibration, check that the inside of the block and the surface of the calibration insert are dry.
