1 Before You Start

Authorized Service Centers

DO NOT operate this instrument in an excessively wet, oily, dusty, or dirty environment.

The unit is a precision instrument. Although it has been designed for optimum durability and trouble free operation, it must be handled with care.

Most probes have handle temperature limits. Be sure that the probe handle temperature limit is not exceeded in the air above the instrument.

The instrument and any thermometer probes used with it are sensitive instruments that can be easily damaged. Always handle these devices with care. Do not allow them to be dropped, struck, stressed, or overheated.

When calibrating PRTs always follow correct calibration procedure and calibrate from high temperatures to low temperatures with the appropriate triple point of water checks.

Components and heater lifetimes can be shortened by continuous high temperature operation.

If a mains supply power fluctuation occurs, immediately turn off the furnace. Power bumps from brown-outs and black-outs can damage the instrument. Wait until the power has stabilized before re-energizing the furnace.

The probe and the block may expand at different rates. Allow for probe expansion inside the well as the block heats. Otherwise, the probe may become stuck in the well.

2 Introduction

2 Introduction

The Hart Scientific 9009 Industrial Dual-Block Calibrator may be used as a portable instrument or bench top temperature calibrator for calibrating thermocouple and RTD temperature probes. The 9009 is small enough to use in the field, and accurate enough to use in the lab. Calibrations may be done over a range of –15°C to 350°C (5°F to 622°F). Temperature display resolution of the 9009 is 0.1 degrees.

The dry-well calibrator features:

•Two independently controlled temperature blocks

•Rapid heating and cooling

•Interchangeable multiple hole probe sleeves

•Convenient integrated carrying case

•RS-232 interface

Built in programmable features include (applicable to both the hot and cold blocks):

•Temperature scan rate control

•Eight set-point memory

•Adjustable readout in °C or °F

The temperature of each well is accurately controlled by a precision Hart Scientific controller. The controller uses a precision platinum RTD as a sensor and controls the hot temperature block with a solid state relay (triac) driven heater. A thermal electric device (TED) controls the cold temperature block.

The LED front panel continuously shows the current well temperature. The temperature may be easily set with the control buttons to any desired temperature within the specified range. The calibrator’s multiple fault protection devices insure user and instrument safety and protection.

Note: When one of the temperature blocks is being accessed through the front panel, the other temperature block control panel is not accessible. Always press the “EXIT” button to exit the control panel being used.

The 9009 calibrator was designed for portability, low cost, and ease of operation. Through proper use, the instrument will provide continued accurate calibration of temperature sensors and devices. The user should be familiar with the safety guidelines and operating procedures of the calibrator as described in the instruction manual.
