UNPACKING YOUR UNIT

Remove the Packing List and verify that you have received all equipment. If you have any questions about the shipment, please call the OMEGA Customer Service Department at 1-800-622-2378 or (203) 359-1660.

When you receive the shipment, inspect the container and equipment for any signs of damage. Note any evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately report any damage to the shipping agent.

NOTE: The carrier will not honor any claims unless all shipping material is saved for their examination. After examining and removing contents, save packing material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.

Make sure that you have the following items in the packing box.

1 CL20 Series Calibrator and Holster.

1 Operator’s Manual

1 NIST Certificate

1 Accessories Kit

SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFETY SYMBOLS AND TERMS

The symbol ! on the instrument denotes that the user should refer to the operating instructions.

The WARNING used in this manual explains dangers that could result in personal injury or death.

The CAUTION used in this manual explains hazards that could damage the instrument.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

These instruments are intended for use by qualified personnel trained in the safe operation of electronic testing equipment. Read the instruction manual thoroughly before using, to become familiar with the instrument's operations and capabilities.

7

WARNING

Do not touch a temperature probe sheath when measuring excessively high or low temperatures, or toxic substances.

WARNING

Do not attempt to measure temperatures beyond the range of the probe being used. Probe damage or personal injury could result from exceeding a probe's maximum temperature rating.

WARNING

The American National Safety Institute (ANSI) states that a shock hazard exists when probes or sensors are exposed to voltage levels greater than 42VDC or 42V peak AC. Do not use this instrument where voltages at the measurement surface exceed these levels.

WARNING

Do not substitute a metal part for the nylon screw in the rear case. Doing so will degrade electrical isolation of the case.

WARNING

The battery is accessible through a cover on the back of the instrument. To avoid electrical shock hazard, disconnect all temperature probes and sensors and turn the unit off before removing the cover.

WARNING

Never use this instrument or any probe or sensor inside a microwave oven.

CAUTION

Avoid making sharp bends in probe or sensor lead wires. Bending lead wires at a sharp angle can damage the wire causing probe failure.

8

CAUTION

Keep inputs electrically isolated from outputs. Do not connect an external voltage source between the two connectors, and avoid any external electrical pathways between input and output (T2 & T1).

Failure to do so will disturb meter readings and calibrator output levels. Damage to the instrument is also possible.

Where the meter and calibrator connectors are simultaneously wired into a system lacking the above isolation, it is necessary to use an "ungrounded" (i.e. electrically isolated) probe at the thermometer input.

BATTERY INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT

A 9V alkaline battery is supplied with the instrument but not installed. Read the following installation instructions before attempting to install or remove the battery. Replacement batteries should also be alkaline types.

WARNING

Turn the unit off and disconnect any input/output connections before replacing the battery. Put the cover back into place on the battery compartment before resuming use of the instrument.

1.Remove the cover from the battery compartment by sliding it off in the direction of the arrow located on the battery cover.

Figure 1. Battery Installation

9

2.Remove the old battery by lifting the battery extractor loop.

3.Place the new battery in the battery compartment. Be sure to observe proper polarity.

4.Re-install the battery cover before resuming use of the instrument.

NOTES:

Less than 10% of battery life remains when the BAT annunciator turns on.

When the battery is excessively discharged, the display is blanked.

If the instrument is going to be stored for a long period of time or in a high temperature environment, remove the battery to prevent leakage damage.

After a new battery is installed, allow approximately 5 seconds for display turn-on the first time the unit is turned on. During this period, microcomputer initialization is performed.

MEMORY BACKUP

During battery replacement, the contents of user-programmed memory (data, operating modes, etc.) can be saved. Prior to removing the old battery, turn off the instrument, and connect an HH22-AC battery charger. Then exchange batteries, and disconnect the battery charger. Do not leave the battery charger connected to instruments with non-rechargeable batteries.

OPERATION WITH RECHARGEABLE

BATTERY

HH22-AC provides a 9-volt Ni-Cd battery and recharger suitable for use with the unit. This battery provides 3-4 hours of continuous operation. This duration can be extended to several days by operating simultaneously from both the battery and recharger.

Turn off the instrument to recharge the battery. Allow 7 hours to fully recharge the battery. Then unplug the recharger to avoid overcharging.

2. INITIAL TURN ON

Turn on the instrument by depressing the ON-OFF keyswitch once (Figure 2). At power-up, the unit first performs a display test. All segments and annunciators of the liquid crystal (LCD) are momentarily turned on for visual confirmation by the user (Figure 3).

NOTE: In case of missing or poor-contrast segments, contact factory.

11

Figure 2. Keypad

Figure 3. Display Test

If the unit is turning on for the first time after a new battery is installed, it will automatically default to the METER mode (ie. temperature measurement operation). It also defaults to K-type thermocouples, and °F readings with 0.1° resolution. The corresponding LCD annunciators are enabled:

12

METER: (unit functioning as a thermometer)

K:(K-type thermocouple)

°F:

(Fahrenheit readings)

OPR:

(Instrument is operational)

If no input thermocouple is connected to the unit at this time, the numeric segments will indicate "OPEN".

Plugging a thermocouple into the meter jack (connector T2, on the top right side) will give actual thermocouple temperature readings.

NOTE: To obtain full accuracy, allow 1-2 minutes after connecting a thermocouple plug, for thermal setting.

If the instrument is to be used as a thermometer or ohmmeter, refer to the Meter Mode Operation section for detailed instructions. For use as a tem- perature-calibrator or ohms simulator, refer to Calibrator Mode Operation.

3. METER MODE OPERATION (Thermocouples)

Set-Up:

1.Turn on instrument by depressing the ON/OFF key.

2.Check that the BAT annunciator turns off following the power-up LCD test. If it does not turn off, less than 10% of battery remains. Refer to Battery Installation/Replacement instructions.

3.If the meter is already in the METER mode, the METER annunciator will be on. Otherwise the calibrator mode is enabled and the CALIB annunciator is on. Depress the METER key to return to meter mode.

4.Connect an input thermocouple (TC) to connector T2. Select the appropriate TC Type with the select-key. A display annunciator will indicate the selected TC-type.

NOTE: Space and legibility constraints on the display preclude the use of dedicated annunciators for the less common tungstenrhenium thermocouple types (G, C & D). Instead, these types are annunciated momentarily on the alpha-numeric display when first selected. Both T and R annunciators remain on to indicate a Tungsten-Rhenium selection. To recall the actual G, C, D selection, turn the unit off, then on again for another momentary readout.

5.Select temperature scale with °F/°C key. The corresponding annunciator is enabled.
