JOFRA ATC SERIES DRY-BLOCK CALIBRATORS AND LIQUID BATH CALIBRATORS
 
A complete precision on-site test laboratory
     


A dvanced
T emperature
C alibrator

The JOFRA ATC series (Advanced Temperature Calibrators) combines the accuracy of laboratory temperature sources with the speed and portability of field dry-block calibrators.
With the latest ATC models it is now possible to calibrate even more sensors at the same time and to calibrate large and odd size sensors in either a large diameter dry-block or in a liquid bath.

  • All units with dual-zone heating block
  • ATC-140 and ATC-250 as liquid bath (NEW)
  • ATC-140 and ATC-250 as large diameter dry-block calibrator (NEW)
  • Universal input for sensor-under-test
  • Input for external reference probe
  • Automatic switch test
  • RS232 and JOFRACAL calibration software
  • Multi information display + numeric keyboard
  • Autostepping
  • Stability indicator
  • Count-down timer (shows when unit is stable)
  • Automatic, stand-alone calibration system
  • Up- and download of work orders (calibrations)
  • MVI Mains Variance Immunity

Liquid and odd/big size sensor calibration
Two models of the ATC series (ATC-140 and ATC-250) fitted with a 160 mm 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 JOFRA dry-block, 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 were not possible to calibrate in the existing range. The compromise compared to the existing models is longer cooling, heating and stabilization times.

ATC-140 & ATC-250 can be used without an external reference sensor, but if a STS-100 reference sensor is connected directly to a B version or the JOFRA reference thermometer DTI-1000, you obtain better accuracies and thereby use the full potential of the calibrators.

  State-of-the-art well design - Optimized for accuracy
The ATC series employs the newest technology in dry-block design. The active dual-zone design ensures excellent temperature homogeneity in the calibration zone of the block independent of the load (sensor-under-test). The insert is so big that there is room for both the sensor-under-test and the external reference probe.

  External reference input
All 'B' models feature a four-wire true-ohm-measurement RTD input for an external reference temperature probe. The new JOFRA STS-100 series of reference probes contains an angled probe. This probe leaves room for the connection head of the sensor-under-test.

Sensor-under-test input
All 'B' models also feature a universal input for electrical connection of the sensor-under-test. RTD, TC, TX, thermo switch, and V. Convert the input to temperature and read the results in the big LCD display.
     
Switch-illu.gif(864Bytes)
 
  Switch test - Fully automatic test of thermo switches. The calibrator will find the closing and the opening temperatures and calculate the hysteresis. This makes you save time and leaves you free to concentrate on other things while the test is running.

 
     

 
  Auto step - The calibrator will automatically change to the next programmed value. This allows the calibrator to be placed anywhere in the process while you monitor the output from the sensor-under-test in the control room.
     

 
  Automatic stand-alone calibration - Download your calibration tasks (work orders) to the ATC calibrator and run the test in the field. Return to your base and upload the calibration results including both as-found and as-left results.
     

 
  MVI circuitry - The MVI technology removes the stability problem caused by an unstable mains supply. This is very often a problem in production environments with large electric motors, heating elements, etc. cycling on and off. The MVI gives correct and safe calibrations.

  Stability indicator - Clear audio and visual indication in the display when the calibrator is stable.
Checking both the sensor-under-test, the reference probe, and the calibrator.
     
  Simplified calibration documentation - All ATC series calibrators are delivered with an RS232 serial interface and the JOFRACAL calibration software.
JOFRACAL software presents the means for an entirely automatic calibration of sensors and a semi-automatic calibration of the complete process loop through the use of a PC.

  JOFRA ATC-156 - Offers calibration of short 'Clamp' sensors
JOFRA offers a complete, highly accurate, and portable calibration-solution. The kit is designed around an ATC-156 dry-block calibrator which features the dual-zone technology. Customized inserts and a reference sensor have been developed specifically for this application. Avoid cumbersome and lengthy liquid bath calibrations and the performance issues associated with older dry-block calibrators.
