Section 1 - Introduction
The CL1600 Surface Probe Tester is designed for ease of use and reliability
whenever you have a need to test, check or confirm a reading from a surface
probe under a set temperature.
It is important that you read this manual completely and follow all safety
precautions before operating this instrument.
1.1Precautions
To avoid personal injury, please follow all safety precautions and operating
instructions outlined in this section.
• Caution! Do not touch the hot plate or its surrounding components at any
time; the temperature on the hot plate is the same as the temperature indicated
on the controller display. Please be careful.
• The CL1600 can operate at very high temperatures, when testing and handling
surface sensors, they too will get very hot at the tip end, so be sure to have a heat
resistant plate to place the sensors after testing and to allow them to cool down.
• Never turn the power off when the hot plate is set to temperatures higher than
100 degrees C. Damage to the electronic controller or to the heater could occur.
• Never leave your tester unattended when in use.
• Keep out of children reach.
• Never permanently place or attach any object within 6 inches of the plate.
• Do not operate in explosive environments.
• Never operate this unit with a power cord other than the one provided with
this system.
• This instrument is intended for indoor use only.
• On initial use, or if this unit hasn’t been power for a period of 10 days, it is
recommended to turn the unit on and allow to run at 50 degrees C for 1 hour,
before using at higher settings.
• Components and heater lifetime can be shortened by continuous high
temperature use.
• Never place any foreign materials on the surface of the hot plate, fluids can
leak into the electronic cabinet and into the heater assembly causing risk of
injury and permanent damage to the tester.
• In the event this instrument blows a fuse, it could be due to a power surge or a
component failure. Replace the fuses once, and then re-power the unit. If the
fuses blow again, please contact Omega Engineering Customer Service at
1-800-622-2378 or 203-359-1660. We can also be reached on the Internet at
www.omega.com, e-mail: [email protected]
• Always replace fuses with one of the same rating, voltage and type. For safety
reasons; never replace a fuse with one of higher voltage value.
• The CL1600 Probe Tester was designed to be a precision instrument with
durability, trouble free and ease of operation as our main goals; as such, this
unit should not be operated in dirty, dusty, wet or oily environments.

1.3Statement on Marking
It is the policy of OMEGA®to comply with all world-wide safety and EMI/EMC
regulations that apply. OMEGA is constantly pursuing certification of its
products to the European New Approach Directives. OMEGA will add the CE
mark to every appropriate device upon certification.
Omega's CL1600 Surface Probe Tester is a system designed to check and verifly
surface probe readings across a wide range in temperatures, 25 to 450°C (77 to
842°F). The CL1600 allows periodic in-house testing and provides preventive

Operation
NOTE:
:
P.I.D. Control:
Proportional, integral, derivative control ( P.I.D.) is a temperature control algorithm
used in high-end temperature controllers. The controller causes the process to attain
the desired temperature by turning the process on or off. The process may be a
heater or refrigerator. As the process temperature approaches the setpoint
temperature the hot or cold process will be pulsed to reduce the corrective measures
and minimize overshooting. The controller provides a visual representation of the
process status through LED indicators. An indicator may be lit continuously, blink or
shut off entirely to indicate that the process is on, being pulsed, or off, respectively.

AC Power Input:
The customer connects the power cord to the AC Power Input. As a safety
precaution, the power cord cannot be connected if the fuse compartment is open.
Refer to Section 5.3 for information on fuse replacement.
Reference Probe Port:
The reference probe port enables the user to monitor the target plate temperature
with an external instrument.
Serial Port:
The female phone jack port allows the customer to make RS232 interface with
the CL1600. A detailed description of this port is described in Section 4.
3.2Changing the Temperature Setpoint
The internal parameters in the microprocessor have been set to be functional
between 25 and 450°C (77 to 842°F).

The RS232 communications port allows bi-directional data transfer via a three
conductor cable consisting of signal ground, receive input, and transmit output.
It is recommended that less than fifty feet of cable be used between the computer
and this instrument.* Note that multiple instruments cannot be tied to the same
port in this configuration. The RS232 port is optically isolated to eliminate
ground loop problems.
Below is a pinout diagram for the serial port of the CL1600 as well as the pinout
for a 9-pin PC serial port. The cable should be attached only when the computer
and CL1600 are off.
