Isocal-6 Series

Europa-6, Venus 2140, Calisto 2250

The Isocal-6® series offers an exceptionally wide operating range in an easy to use portable package. As discussed
previously the Isocal-6 series can be used as a Dry Block, a Liquid Bath, a Blackbody Source for infrared thermometers,
a Surface Sensor Calibrator and for performance to a few mK (0.001°C) ITS-90 Fixed Points. Isocal-6 calibrators are
available in two models, BASIC and SITE. The BASIC model includes a sophisticated temperature controller with a
dual display to show the desired Set Temperature and the actual Dry Block Temperature. The SITE model additionally
includes a digital indicator to which an external temperature sensor can be connected providing an accuracy of
±0.1°C.

For Dry Block use the unit under test may be compared to the controller value, Isotech recommends the use of an
external reference probe connected to the indicator of the SITE model which compensates for the temperature gradient
and loading errors. This gives greater accuracy and traceability meeting the requirements of ISO 9000 and other quality
standards.

For the best measurement results with liquid bath, surface sensor and blackbody configurations, an external standard
probe should always be used, either with the SITE models’ indicator or a laboratory performance temperature indicator
such as one of the Isotech True Temperature Indicators (TTI).

All Isocal-6 calibrators include as standard: Cal Notepad Windows Software, Serial Computer Interface,
Ramp-to-Set-Point Feature. Increased resolution of ±0.01 available throughout the range via the PC
interface and from -19.99 to +99.99 locally on the auto-ranging front display. The controller features
multi-point block to display correction giving excellent absolute accuracy.

The SITE model indicator has a universal sensor input allowing Platinum Resistance Thermometers,
Thermocouples (Types K, N, R, S, L, B, PL2, T, J and E) along with Linear Process Inputs including
4-20mA current transmitters to be displayed. The indicator can be programmed with up to five
calibration points to provide high accuracy digital probe matching. The indicator and controller are
both addressable over the communications link.

Calibration and Uncertainty

A certificate, traceable to NIST, is included as standard.

The accuracy will depend very much on the mode of use
and the types of sensor to be used. Please contact Isotech
for tutorials and uncertainty calculations and comprehensive
evaluation reports. The Isocal-6 meets the Calibration Capacity
requirements of EA I0/13, “EA Guidelines on the Calibration of
Temperature Block Calibrators”.
