The Ametek ITC series is the mid-range dry-block calibrator model offered
by AMETEK. The design basis for the ITC series is portability and
ease-of-use supplied at a reasonable cost without sacrificing accuracy,
performance, and features. The ITC-155 incorporates the features of the
high-end ATC series with the functionality of the standard CTC series
dry-block calibrators.
The ITC-320 employs the slim and rugged design of the CTC series. This
series also features the intuitive user interface, the clear LCD
display, and the functionality that is used in the successful CTC
series. However, the ITC-320A is designed with the state-of-the-art
dual-zone heating block and MVI circuitry that has been adopted from the
ATC series. The MVI circuitry ensures stable temperatures even when the
mains supply is unstable.
The ITC-320A is designed for both on-site and maintenance shop use. The
applications are generally critical process control but can vary based
on calibration and testing requirements.
The ITC-320A dry-block calibrators are available in 3 different
temperature ranges and all models are equipped with RS232 serial
communication capabilities. The standard delivery also includes the JOFRACAL calibration PC software.

ITC-320 & ITC-650 dual-zone heating block
The specialized block design increases the temperature homogeneity
in the critical calibration zone. It also minimizes the need to insulate
the sensors-under-test and makes it possible to calibrate liquid-filled
and other mechanical sensors. The main, or lower, zone ensures optimum
heat dissipation throughout the entire block. The secondary, or upper,
zone compensates for the heat loss from the top of the block and from
the sensor-under-test.
Maximum temperature
From the setup menu, the user can select the maximum temperature limit
for the calibrator. This function prevents damage to the
sensor-under-test caused by the application of excessive temperatures.
The feature also aids in reducing drift resulting from extended periods
of expo-sures to high temperatures. This feature can be locked with an
access code.

MVI - Improved temperature stability
Unstable mains power supplies are a major contributor to on-site
calibration inaccuracies. Traditional temperature calibrators often
become unstable in production environments where large electrical
motors, heating elements, and other devices are periodically cycled on
or off. The cycling of supply power can cause the temperature regulator
to perform inconsistently leading to both inaccurate readings and
unstable temperatures. The ITC series employ the MVI, thus avoiding such
stability problems. The MVI circuitry continuously monitors the supply
voltage and ensures a constant energy flow to the heating elements.
Easy-to-use, intuitive operation
All instrument controls may be performed from the front panel. The
heat source is positioned away from the panel. This design helps to
protect the operator. The main functions on the ITC series are designed
with one-key-one-function logic. This means that there are no sub-menus
or difficult to remember multiple keystrokes necessary to access primary
functions. The easy-to-read, backlit display features dedicated icons,
which help in identifying instrument conditions and operational steps.

Features |
Details |
| Set
temperature |
The ’’Up’’ and ’’Down’’
arrow keys allow the user to set the exact temperature
desired with a resolution of 0.1°. |
| Instrument
setups |
The ITC series stores the
complete instrument setup, including: engineering units,
stability criteria, resolution, display contrast, slope
(ramp) rate, auto-step settings, and maximum temperature. |
| Stability
indicator |
A bold checkmark on the
display indicates that the calibrator has reached the
desired set temperature and is stable. The operator may
change the stability criteria and establish a greater sense
of security in the calibration results. A convenient
countdown timer is activated five minutes before the unit
reaches stability. |
| Automatic
switch test |
Operators can save a lot of
time using the automatic thermo switch test function to find
values for the ’’Open’’ and ’’Close’’ temperatures.
Additionally, this feature displays the hysteresis (deadband)
between the two points. The feature ensures a very high
repeatability when testing thermo switches. Simply press the
’’SWITCH TEST’’ key to activate the function. |
| Auto-stepping |
This feature saves
manpower. The operator may stay in the control room, or
another remote location, monitoring the output from the
sensor-under-test while the ITC series calibrator is placed
in the process and automatically changes the temperature
using a programmed step value and rate. Up to 9 different
temperature steps may be programmed, including the hold time
for each step. |
|
Re-calibration/adjustments
The ITC series has a very easy and straightforward procedure for
re-calibration/adjustment. There is no need for a screwdriver or PC
software. The only thing you need is a reliable reference thermometer.
Place the probe in the calibrator and follow the instructions on the
display. Third-party labs and calibration facilities will be able to
perform this function if a certificate from an independent source is
necessary. Of course, AMETEK can provide you with a traceable
calibration certificate from our labs when you require a higher level of
confidence.
Calibration of up to 24 sensors with Ametek ASM
Using the Ametek ITC series together with the ASM Advanced Signal
Multi-scanner offers a great time-saving automatic solution to calibrate
multiple temperature sensors at the same time.
The ASM series is an eight channel scanner controlled by JOFRACAL
software on a PC. Up to 3 ASM units can be stacked to calibrate up to 24
sensors at the same time. It can handle signals from 2-, 3- and 4 wire
RTD’s, TC’s, transmitters, thermisters, temperature switches and
voltage.

JOFRACAL Calibration Software
The JOFRACAL calibration software ensures easy calibration of RTD´s,
thermocouples, transmitters, thermoswithes, pressure gauges and
pressure switches. JOFRACAL can be used with Ametek DPC-500, APC, CPC
and IPI pres-sure calibrators, all Ametek temperature calibrators, as
well as Ametek AMC900, ASC300 multi signal calibrator and ASM-800
signal multi scanner.

JOFRACAL calibration software may also be used for manual
calibrations, as it can be set up to accept manual entry of
calibration data together with other liquid baths, ice points or
dry-block heat sources. The calibration data collected may be stored
on a PC for later recall or analysis. The ITC calibrator stores the
calibration procedure and may be taken out to the process site
without using a personal computer. Once all calibrations are
completed, the data may be uploaded to the JOFRACAL calibration
software for post-processing and printing of certificates. The
calibration data collected may be stored on the personal computer
for later recall or analysis.
