Introduction
Before You Start1
Introduction1.1
The Fluke Calibration 9102S Mid-Range Field Calibrator is a small portable instrument designed for quick on-site checks and calibration of thermocouple and RTD
temperature probes. This instrument is small enough to use in the eld, and accurate
enough to use in the lab. Calibrations may be done over a range of –10°C to 122°C
(14°F to 252°F). Temperature display and setpoint resolution are 0.1 degrees.
The instrument features:
A controlled temperature block with two calibration insert sleeves
Rapid heating and cooling
Prop stand
Handle strap
RS-232 interface capability
+12 Volt DC battery option
Built in programmable features include:
Temperature scan rate control
Eight set-point memory
Adjustable readout in °C or °F
The temperature is accurately controlled by Fluke’s digital controller. The control-
ler uses a precision platinum RTD as a sensor and controls the well temperature with
transistor driven thermoelectric devices.
The LED front panel shows the current well temperature. The temperature may be set,
using the control buttons, to any desired temperature within the instrument’s range.
Multiple fault protection devices insure user and instrument safety and protection.
This dry-well calibrator was designed for portability, low cost, and ease of operation.
Through proper use and maintenance, 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.

Safety Information
Overhead clearance is required. DO NOT place the instrument under a cabinet
or other structure. Always leave enough clearance to allow for safe and easy
insertion and removal of probes.
If the instrument is used in a manner not in accordance with the equipment
design, the operation of the dry-well may be impaired or safety hazards may
arise.
This instrument is intended for indoor use only.
BURN HAZARDS
DO NOT turn the instrument upside down with the inserts in place; the inserts
will fall out.
DO NOT operate near ammable materials.
Use of this instrument at HIGH TEMPERATURES for extended periods of
time requires caution.
DO NOT touch the well access surface of the instrument.
The block vent may be very hot due to the fan blowing across the heater block
of the dry-well.
The temperature of the well access is the same as the actual display
temperature, e.g. if the instrument is set to 375°C and the display reads 375°C,
the well is at 375°C.
For top loading dry-wells, the top sheet metal of the dry-well may exhibit
extreme temperatures for areas close to the well access.
The air over the well can reach temperatures greater that 200°C for high
temperature (400°C and higher) dry-wells. Note: Probes and inserts may
be hot and should only be inserted and removed from the instrument when
the instrument is set at temperatures less than 50°C. Use extreme care when
removing hot inserts.
DO NOT turn off the instrument at temperatures higher than 100°C. This could
create a hazardous situation. Select a set-point less than 100°C and allow the
instrument to cool before turning it off.
The high temperatures present in dry-wells designed for operation at 300°C
and higher may result in res and severe burns if safety precautions are not
observed.
A re may occur if a short circuit occurs along the input cord and no protective
devices are on the DC input source. For short circuit protection using a battery,
a fuse is required at the battery terminals.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
DO NOT operate this instrument without a properly grounded, properly
polarized power cord. Electric shock may result.
DO NOT connect this instrument to a non-grounded, non-polarized outlet.
Ensure the earth ground to the outlet is properly connected. Electrical shock
may result if the outlet is not installed correctly.
Always replace the power cord with an approved cord of the correct rating and
type.

operation.
DO NOT use uids to clean out the well.
Never introduce any foreign material into the probe hole of the insert. Fluids,
etc. can leak into the instrument causing damage.
DO NOT change the values of the calibration constants from the factory set
values. The correct setting of these parameters is important to the safety and
proper operation of the calibrator.
DO NOT drop the probe sheath in to the well. This type of action can cause a
shock to the sensor and affect the calibration.
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.

correcting a malfunction. You must have a copy of the most recent Report of
Calibration to restore the calibration parameters.
DO NOT operate this instrument in an excessively wet, oily, dusty, or dirty
environment. Always keep the well and inserts clean and clear of foreign
material.
The dry-well is a precision instrument. Although it has been designed for
optimum durability and trouble free operation, it must be handled with care.
Always carry the instrument in an upright position to prevent the probe sleeves
from falling out. The convenient handle strap allows for one hand carrying.
If a mains supply power uctuation occurs, immediately turn off the instrument.
Power bumps from brown-outs could damage the instrument. Wait until the
power has stabilized before re-energizing the instrument.
The prop stand was not designed to be used as a handle for carrying the
instrument. To avoid damage, do not force the prop stand beyond the incline
positions of the instrument.
