DMC-1400 Documenting Multi-function Calibrator

Description

The DMC-1400 Documenting Multi-function
Calibrator provides a feature set unmatched
in high accuracy, hand-held calibrators in
its price range. The DMC-1400 provides
the functions and accuracy associated with
fi xed installation, laboratory instruments,
and has everything needed for virtually any
calibration task. What makes this versatile
calibrator best in class is the ability to fully
document any calibration easily while
performing the normal job. No special
software is required! You already have all
the software you need installed on your PC.
Some functions will require a Microsoft®
Excel®-compatible spreadsheet.

We call this “the documenting calibrator
for the rest of us.” Work better — get better
work. Set up and calibrate any instrument as
you normally would. Just press the “SAVE”
key after each calibration point. When you
complete the calibration, follow the prompts
to enter the “tag” information and you are
DONE.

The DMC-1400 also features the ability
to test for pass/fail criteria, capture both
AS FOUND and AS LEFT data, maintain
calibration data for 50 instruments in non­volatile memory, and even print calibration
certifi cates right in the fi eld, with no PC
needed, using our optional OTS-100 portable
certifi cate printer.

Measure and simulate thermocouples, RTDs,
current, voltage, frequency and pressure,
and source pulse trains with one lightweight

easy to use calibrator. A communications
port compatible with BetaPort–P pressure
modules is provided, as is an isolated
milliamp/Volt read-back circuit. Arrow
keys, direct numeric keypad entry, and three
software-driven function buttons, plus a
large backlit, menu-driven graphics display
combine to provide a highly intuitive, simple
yet powerful operator interface.

A built-in 250 Ohm resistor is provided
for HART™ compatibility with smart
transmitters and PLCs. Full fuseless
protection and a serial communications
port for full control with ASCII commands,
are just some of the additional features
that make the DMC-1400 the single, most
indispensable tool available for virtually any
calibration task.

The DMC-1400 is supplied with a rugged
protective boot, four standard alkaline AA
batteries, padded carrying case, test leads,
communications cable, USB adapter, user
manual, quick start guide, DVD and CD
based video training and, of course, an NIST
traceable calibration certifi cate.

Optional accessories include the BPPA-100
adapter for BetaPort-P pressure modules as
well as the full range of pressure modules.
There’s a rechargeable battery kit if you
prefer recharging over standard alkaline
batteries. Finally, we have the very useful
OTS-100 battery operated portable printer
for printing calibration certifi cates in the
fi eld.
