The ATC-140 features the unique dual-zone heating block
- designed for optimum performance and superior temperature homogeneity
throughout the block. This new design has a performance equivalent to a
liquid temperature bath.
The ATC140 dry-block calibrator may be used to perform fully automatic
calibration routines without using an external computer. Use the
computer for full upload and download capabilities. Units may also be
supplied with inputs for external reference sensors and for
sensors-under-test. All ATC calibrators feature RS232 serial
communication and standard delivery also includes the JOFRACAL
calibration PC software.
Unique temperature performance
The ATC series of calibrators provide precision temperature calibration
of sensors; whatever the type or format. This is accomplished through an
innovative dual-zone heating technology.
Both the ATC-140 features dual-zone heating technology. Each heating
zone is independently controlled for precision temperature calibration.
The homogeneity in the lower part is close to that of a laboratory
liquid bath. The lower zone ensures optimum heat dissipation throughout
the entire calibration zone. The upper zone compensates for heat loss
from the sensor-under-test and from the open top. This design also
eliminates the need for insulation of the sensors-under-test and makes
it possible to calibrate liquid-filled and other mechanical sensors.
Peltier effect
The practical Peltier element (electronic heating pump) consists of many
elements of semiconductor material connected electrically in series and
thermally in parallel. These thermoelectric elements and their
electrical interconnections are mounted between two ceramic plates. The
plates serve to mechanically hold the overall structure together and to
electrically insulate the individual elements from one another.

|
Set
temperature |
The “Set temperature”
feature allows the user to set the exact desired temperature
with a resolution of 0.01°. |
|
Instrument
setups |
The ATC series allows the
user to store up to nine (9) complete instrument setups. You
may store all sorts of information including temperature
units, stability criteria, use of external reference sensor,
resolution, sensor-under-test (SUT), conversion to
temperature, display contrast, etc. The setup may be
recalled at any time. |
|
Stability
indicator |
A stability indicator shows
when the ATC calibrator has reached the desired temperature
and is stable. The user may change the stability criteria,
external reference and the sensor-under-test quickly and
simply. The stability criteria is the user’s security for a
correct calibration. A count-down timer is displayed next to
the temperature read-out. |
Easy-to-use,
intuitive operation |
All instrument settings can
be performed from the front panel. The heat source is
positioned away from the panel which helps protect the
operator.
The keyboard is equipped with five, positive feedback
function keys. They correspond to the text in the display
and change functionality based on instrument operations.
There are also dedicated function keys with permanent
functions.
The easy-to-read, backlit display is large with a high
contrast that is readable even in high ambient light
conditions. The display is easily read from all angles and
from a distance without parallax problems. The display also
features icons which help identifying instrument conditions
and operational steps, making it more intuitive to work
with. |
|
Auto-stepping |
Up to 20 different
temperature steps may be programmed including the hold time
for each step. Upon completion of an auto step routine, the
user can easily read the results for the sensor-under-test.
Up to five (5) auto step results are stored. |
Liquid bath/
large diameter insert |
The ATC-140 is fitted with
a 150 mm (5.9 in) deep well with a diameter of 63.5 mm (2.5
in) can be used both as dry-block calibrators and as liquid
calibration baths with a magnetic stirrer.
A liquid bath and a dry-block diameter of 63.5 mm (2.5 in),
which is twice the size of any other Ametek dry-block
calibrator, are both new in the JOFRA product range. 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, which is not
possible to calibrate in the remaining product range. |
|
JOFRACAL Calibration Software
The JOFRACAL calibration software ensures easy calibration of RTD´s,
thermocouples, transmitters, thermo-switches, pressure gauges and
pressure switches. JOFRACAL can be used with Ametek DPC-500, APC, CPC
and IPI pressure 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.
This then allows the
Calibrator:
-
Operate as a stand-alone instrument, using advanced calibration
routines without the assistance of a personal computer on site;
-
Prevent unauthorized changes to a calibration routine. Personnel who
are not authorized to alter a calibration routine cannot do so.
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.
