MCX II

Portable documenting calibrator

A CALIBRATION WORKSHOP IN A
SINGLE INSTRUMENT

The Druck MCX II portable documenting calibrator is the most comprehensive field
calibration tool available. It is the culmination of many years combined field experience
with the Druck and Unomat series of portable pressure, temperature and electrical
calibrators.

Designed for field use, this rugged, self-contained, battery powered package simulates and
reads RTD’s, thermocouples and resistance, as well as sourcing and reading milliamps,
millivolts, volts and frequency. With interchangeable single and dual sensor pressure modules
over 90 input and output ranges are available.

The MCX II saves time and money with the calibration, maintenance and commissioning of
instrumentation for process plants, production lines, utility processing and distribution by:

n Reducing the burden imposed by quality systems such as ISO 9000.
n Reducing calibration, maintenance and commissioning time.
n Reducing documentation time and errors.
n Replacing several standard test instruments.
n Reducing test instrument calibration costs.
n Minimising down time and maximising efficient field usage.

For example, a typical thermocouple transmitter calibration can take one hour using a mV
source, look-up tables and a milliammeter. In just five minutes the MCX II can make an
automatic calibration and document the results while virtually eliminating human errors.

A PCMCIA memory card provides data storage and gives total flexibility to suit different
working practices. By simply exchanging PCMCIA cards, the MCX II can remain permanently
in the field and when compared to serial data transfer methods this can save one to two hours
a day. With a single item to calibrate the cost of re-calibration is reduced and the
inconvenience of down time is minimized.

HART® communicator for SMART transmitters

The HART® communicator allows digital field adjustment of smart transmitters. Typical
adjustments to sensor and analogue trims can take up to 40 minutes using conventional test
equipment and a hand held communicator. With a single MCX II this time can be reduced to
less than 10 minutes, including a fully documented calibration.

Easy to use

The multi-lingual user interface is an easy to use Input/Output menu with dual parameter
readout. The Input and Output connectors are standard 4mm gold plated sockets which are
separated and clearly labelled. The rugged impact resistant enclosure is surrounded by a
durable protective carry case which allows access to all the instrument features and provides
convenient pockets for storing test leads and accessories. Whether the MCX II is horizontal or
vertical the rotatable display provides the optimal viewing angle. On the bench, test leads and
pressure modules connect to the front face. In the field, with the MCX II held vertically by the
wide neck strap, the connections are made to the rear face. With safety a major design
concern, these features reduce the possibility of dropping equipment as the operators hands
are kept free.

0.05% Rdg for pressure measurement,

5000 psi including gauge, absolute and differential.
