Basic Keypad Operations

EZ-Check™ Switch

For Simulation - Slide the switch to select from three user stored

values for the desired calibration points. The user can select HI, DIAL, and LO positions. These values can easily be changed to suit the calibration requirements. Also these stored values can be use for Auto Stepping.

For Read - Slide the switch to the DIAL position. The CL543 will begin making readings. Slide the switch to high and you will get the highest point read and then slide the switch to the low position and you will get the lowest range.

SIMULATE/OFF/READ Switch

Turn the CL543 on to SIMULATE to output a temperature, ohms, or mV. Turn the unit to READ to read temperature, ohms, or mV.

EZ-Dial™ Knob

Turn the knob to change temperature in 0.1º or

0.01º increments. Push and turn for faster dialing. Double push to get into the CL543 Configuration mode to auto Battery on/off, select Back lighting,

C° or F°, RTD or T/C types, Store or step feature,

select step size and step time. Then press to store desired EZ-Check™ HI/LO points in SIMULATE mode. Push to clear EZ-Check™ HI/LO

points in READ mode.

Note: The CL543 is a Universal Temperature Calibrator that works great calibrating Multichannel Chart Recorders, Data Acquisition & Computer Systems and Smart transmitters.

The CL543 is GUARANTEED to work with ALL transmitters, recorders and any other RTD input devices that use intermittent, or pulsed excitation current to measure the resistance of the RTD. The CL543 automatically adjusts to the correct excitation current.

CL543 Configuration

Instructions for Enabling and Disabling the Configuration Options

1. Turn the CL543 on to SIMULATE or read.

2. Double Click the EZ-Dial™ Knob at any time to enter configuration menu.

3. Select options by turning the EZ-Dial™ Knob clockwise until the arrow points to the desired option.

4. The option can be enabled or disabled by tapping the EZ-Dial™ Knob.

The CL543 configuration menu will exit automatically after 5 seconds of inactivity and go to normal operation with the options selected. These options are recalled at turn on until they are changed again.

NOTE: Changing the battery will reset menu options to factory settings.

Model CL543 Configuration Menu

Auto Off ON/OFF

If Auto Off is ON, the unit will turn off after 30 minutes to save battery life, if there is no user activity. If Auto Off is OFF the unit will stay on until it is turned off from the keypad. This is typically useful for manual loading or continuous use. Press the EZ-Dial™ Knob to select.

Display Units °C/°F

Pressing the EZ-Dial™ Knob to toggles between °C or °F.

Store/Step

To select three test point values you first have to select Store,

1. Select your high range by sliding the Hi/Lo slide switch to the HI position and dial it to the range desired then press and hold the EZ-Dial™ Knob until STORED appears to store the value.

2. Slide the Hi/Lo slide switch to the middle position (dial) and dial it to the range desired. You do not have to press store to keep this value. This position if so desired is adjustable.

3. Slide the Hi/Lo slide switch to the Lo position and dial it to the range desire then press and hold the EZ-Dial™ Knob until STORED appears to store the value.

Memory will be maintained even when power is off.

To start stepping after you have selected the step size and step time as described below scroll back up the configuration mode to STORE/STEP and select step then let the unit time out of configuration mode. Place the slide switch in either Hi or Lo position and press and hold the EZ-Dial™ Knob to start and also to stop.

Step Size

To change the step size, press the EZ-Dial™ Knob to find the desired step size or %.

Step Time

To change the step time, press the EZ-Dial™ Knob to find the desired step time indicated in seconds. This is the time in-between each step.

Display Resolution

To Select between High resolution 0.01º, 000.000Ω or Low resolution 0.1º, 000.00Ω, press the EZ-Dial™ Knob to find the desired display setting.

Double-click the EZ-Dial™ Knob to return to the configuration menu at any time of operation.

Read Mode

Slide the SIMULATE/OFF/READ switch to READ for direct RTD or T/C input. Then slide the EZ-Check™ Switch to DIAL position to monitor the RTD or T/C input. The CL543 displays temperature corresponding to resistance input for the selected RTD type. Memory is updated every second once the unit is turned on or the CLEAR option is used. This helps when looking at temperature drift or for any other deviation. Slide the EZ-Check™ Switch to HI and LO to recall maximum and minimum saved readings. Observe the “HI” and “LO” switch position indicators in the display. Press and hold the EZ-Dial™ Knob to clear saved readings. The display flashes “CLEARED” as a confirmation.

Be sure the switch is in the DIAL position to monitor input.

Turning the EZ-Dial™ Knob has no effect in read mode.

RTD READ ONLY-Automatic 2, 3, or 4 wire detect: Connect 2, 3, or 4 wires to the RTD sensor. Follow the connection diagrams. The CL543 indicates “2W”, “3W”, or “4W” in the lower left corner of the display. It will also place an arrow under each connected wire to show which wire is connected and will indicate if there is an “ERROR”. Use this feature for troubleshooting unconnected leads or sensors. See below figure.

Source Mode

Slide the SIMULATE/OFF/READ switch to SIMULATE for direct RTD or T/C output. The CL543 outputs resistance corresponding to temperature for the selected RTD or outputs mV corresponding to temperature for the selected T/C type.

Turn the EZ-Dial™ Knob to change temperature, push and turn for faster dialing.

Slide the EZ-Check™ Switch to HI or LO to recall stored settings. While in the HI or LO position, dial a new setting and press the EZ-Dial™ Knob to store. The DIAL position always holds the last setting dialed there. Using the STORED Values gives you very accurate values for repeatability. Adjusting the EZ-Dial™ Knob you can check for controller actions, trip points or hysteresis.

Double-click the EZ-Dial™ Knob to return to the configuration menu.

Equipment Needed:

1. Precision OHM Meter with accuracy of 0.0068% at 400 Ω.

2. Precision OHM Source with accuracy of 0.0068% at 400 Ω.

3. Precision Voltage Meter with an accuracy of 0.0039% at 80.000mV.

4. Precision Voltage Source with an accuracy of 0.0039% at 80.000mV.

5. Precision Thermistor probe with accuracy of ± 0.025°C or better (YSI 46046) OR

6. A stable ice bath or Thermocouple ice point calibrator and a NIST traceable thermocouple wire stable to within ±0.025°C.

OMEGA Engineering, Inc. recommends using a direct junction temperature measurement technique for the most accurate and reliable calibrations of our equipment. This technique uses accurate RTD or thermistor probes to measure the reference junction (cold junction) temperature. While measuring the junction voltage with a DVM and ice bath technique will work. This method is less reliable due to complexity and is generally less accurate due to cumulative errors.

Precautions:

Avoid touching thermocouple connections, as this will cause temperature errors in calibration. It is recommended that the CL543 be handled as little as possible during calibration to reduce errors. The heat from your body may cause uneven heating of temperature sensitive components.

Enabling Calibration:

Place in a fresh battery and allow 15 minutes for the CL543 to stabilize to the ambient temperature. Remove the EZ-Dial™ Knob, battery cover and the four black Phillips head screws. While holding the CL543 face down in one hand, carefully separate the top and bottom of the housing. Place the unit into calibration mode by shorting the calibration via located on the bottom right side on the PCB with tweezers and turning the UUT on. Verify the CL543 is in calibration mode by viewing the bottom center of the LCD for the Firmware Build information.

Source mV Calibration:

Connect the CL543 (two inner terminals) to a Voltage Meter (See Figure 2).
