The CTC650B series is a fast dry-block that offers both interchangeable inserts, the MVI stability circuitry, and calibration software. Both speed and portability are superior to liquid baths. Dry-block calibrators do not require hazardous liquids and provide a wide temperature range.

The CTC650BRS series 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 user interface is easy and intuitive. One-key-one-function gives you quick access to timesaving features such as the switch test or the auto-stepping function. All models feature a large, backlit LCD display panel, which is easy-to-read even in well-lit areas. Units feature an informative display that provides icons and information regarding the status of the CTC650A and the calibration in-progress.

A rugged, slim-line, aluminum outer casing with die-cast top and bottom protects the CTC650-B of dry-block calibrators. For easy documentation and automatic calibration, all units are delivered with RS232 serial communication and JOFRACAL calibration software.

The CTC-650B A contain an innovative heating block profile. This design heats up the CTC650-BRS to maximum temperature in only 10 minutes. The fast performance of the heating block is due to the special profile that minimizes mass and yet, still accepts an insertion tube with a 25 mm / 1 in. outer diameter. This design is a balanced compromise between temperature stability / homogeneity and rapid heating / cooling.
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 exposures to high temperatures. This feature can be locked with an access code.

MVI - Improved temperature stability
MVI stands for ’’Mains power Variance Immunity’’. 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 CTC 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 CTC 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.

Instrument setups
The CTC series stores the complete instrument setup, including: engineering units, stability criteria, resolution, display contrast, slope (ramp) rate, auto-step settings, and maximum temperature.

Re-calibration/adjustments
The CTC 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.
 
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.

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.
