Low cost transmitter simplifies installation
Launched in the UK by distributor Hawco Controls is Inor's new highly accurate and stable, easy-to-use analogue transmitter for use with Pt 100 RTD resistive temperature detector (RTD) sensors
Calibration by dry block or liquid
With these options it is now possible to calibrate even more temperature sensors at the same time and to calibrate large as well as odd sizes and shapes of sensors
With an accuracy of +/-0.5C to +/-0.09C over a temperature range of -10C to 125C or, +28C to 400C, depending on the model chosen, the ETC series is designed for use when time is the major factor and the highest accuracy is not so critical.
A heat up and stabilisation time of only three minutes enables a dual point test routine to be completed in under ten minutes.
The ETC incorporates the standard Jofra RS232 communication interface and Amecal-Light calibration software, which come installed, ready to use.
The heating block incorporates a novel design where the pre-drilled insertion holes for the temperature devices on test are located around a highly efficient element.
Unlike other calibrators there is no removable insert tube so reducing bulk and speeding heat up time.
There are two models in the series; the ETC 400A designed for optimum speed and stability and the ETC125A, which at an entry-level price is a simple and effective temperature checker, also suitable for below ambient temperatures such as air conditioning.
The easy to use controls incorporate one-key, one-function, so providing fast operation and doing away with the need for complicated menus.
For the first time high accuracy temperature verification comes at the price of a good quality multimeter.
