PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This remarkable calibrator features deadweight tester accuracy
in a modern digital package. The
APC is available as an calibrator
or in one of 6 test-ready systems
that are complete and equipped
to meet your pressure calibration
needs.
The APC may be used in applliations from safety valve verification
to pressure transmitter.
Features
The JOFRA APC calibrators are the latest in the new generation of
AMETEK handheld pressure calibrators. This series was designed to
meet high accuracy pressure calibration applications and to make your
tasks easier. The APC offers features such as dual information display,
17 different pressure units, transmitter supply, scalable mA input for %
error calculation, serial communications, and external pressure module
capability. The accuracy of the APC calibrators is deadweight caliber
throughout the range and is temperature compensated for operation in
controlled or in process applications. This is a truly superior pressure
calibrator.
The JOFRA APM series of pressure modules extends the application
base for the APC calibrators by allowing for calibrations in ranges other
than those of the calibrator; and at a lower cost than purchasing another
APC. The APM modules are also compatible with several other JOFRA
calibrators.
Calibration of the instrument may be performed locally without returning
the APC unit to the manufacturer. Everything needed is an accurate pressure reference. If a factory calibration is require, the pump and calibrator
are independent and only the calibrator needs to be returned.

Clear dual line display
Large digits display the pressure,
icons show current status and mode,
and the smaller digits show deviceunder-test conditions.
ON / OFF
Auto shut-off to extend battery life
(user programmable).
mA / %
Save time and effort in calculating
the error between the APC and the
device- under-test by entering the
pressure range corresponding to 420mA. This gives immediate read-out
of the error in %.
You can also read mA or % of 4-20mA
in the display.
Switch test
Per form semi-automati c pressure
switch tests. The APC records the
“close” and “open” pressure values
and calculates the
hysteresis (deadband). You change
the pressure and the APC does the
rest.
Electrical connections
The APC calibrator have inputs for
mA readings for pressure switches
and transmitters, including 24 VDC
supply, and for external JOFRA
APM pressure modules.
MAX / MIN
Reads the highest and lowest pressure
value since you last reset the APC.
Monitor a safety valve or look for
pressure spikes in the process.
Pressure connections
1/8 in NPT female 15 bar
(200 psi) and below.
1/8 in NPT male for 35 bar
(500 psi) and above.

JOFRACAL CALIBRATION SOFTWARE
JOFRACAL calibration software ensures easy calibration
of RTD´s, thermocouples, transmitters, thermoswithes,
pressure gauges and pressure switches. JOFRACAL can
be used with JOFRA DPC-500, APC, CPC and IPI pressure calibrators, all JOFRA temperature calibrators, as well
as JOFRA AMC910, ASC300 multi signal calibrator and
ASM-800 signal multi scanner. When used with JOFRA
ASM-800 signal multi scanner, JOFRACAL can perform a
simultaneous semi automatic calibration on up to 24 pressure and/or temperature devices under test in any combination.
JOFRACAL software controls the complete calibration
procedure, stores the results and provides a calibration
audit trail through hard-copy certificates. All calibration
data are stored for each sensor to monitor drift and optimise recalibration intervals. A scheduler feature allows
planning of future calibrations.
Please find more information about JOFRACAL calibration
software in specification sheet SS-CP-2510, which may be
found at www.jofra.com
JOFRA APM pressure module
The JOFRA APM external pressure modules extend the
range of the JOFRA APC. There are more than 60 models
available with gauge, absolute, differential, and vacuum
pressure references and in metric and imperial engineering
units.
The modules are engineered for in-plant, field, or laboratory use. They are ready-to-use with the JOFRA APC and
the protocol allows for immediate recognition and use of
the module once plugged into the calibrator.
Please find more information about the APM series in
specification sheet SS-CP-2190 at www.jofra.com
