• The dual LED front panel display provides a clear view of both the block and setpoint

temperatures.

• You can easily set any temperature within the unit’s operating range using the front

keypad.

• A precision platinum RTD sensor controls the calibrator’s block temperature.

• The calibrator’s over-temperature multiple fault protection devices ensure both user

and instrument safety and protection.

To take full advantage of the calibrator’s many features, be sure to read the operating
procedures in Section 5 of this manual.

1.2 TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

• The hot point Calibrator features an aluminum-bronze block, which is uniformly heated

by four strategically located heaters.

• A powerful microprocessor-based digital PID auto-tune temperature controller

regulates the temperature.

• The calibrator is ready for use; optimum control parameters have been factory

programmed into the temperature controlling device. However, if you wish to fine tune
the calibrator for a particular operation, you may auto-tune the PID parameters. Refer
to Section 6, Auto-tuning the Calibrator.

SECTION 3 SAFETY

WARNING

• NEVER touch the heated calibrator or probes without proper
protection.

• NEVER place any object (other than the CL900 insert) into the
CL900 block.

• NEVER use a voltage other than that for which your unit is rated.
Use only a 50/60 Hz grounded outlet.

• NEVER replace either of the fuses with one of a current rating
greater than the original.

• NEVER unplug the heated calibrator until it has cooled down to
under 300°F (149°C).

• NEVER set objects on top of the calibrator.

CAUTION

• DO NOT use the calibrator in excessively dusty or dirty environments
or near liquids.

• DO NOT attempt to alter the programmed constants (other than the
PID parameters discussed in Section 6.2).

• DO NOT turn off the power switch until the heated calibrator has
cooled down to under 300°F (149°C).

NOTE

• ALWAYS use the special tongs provided with the CL900 to remove
the insert.

• ALWAYS follow the proper procedure for cooling down the calibrator
(below).

• Operate the calibrator at room temperatures between 40°F and 100°F (5°C and
38°C).

• Leave at least 9" of space between the rear of the calibrator and nearby objects for air
circulation. Keep the area around the instrument neat and clean. Position the
calibrator as shown in Figure 3-1.

COOL-DOWN PROCEDURE

• KEEP THE CL900 PLUGGED IN WITH THE POWER SWITCH ON DURING COOL-DOWN,
SO THAT THE COOLING FAN WILL OPERATE CONTINUOUSLY.

1. Change the setpoint to 300°F (149°C) or lower, and allow the unit to cool down to
this temperature. When the CL900 has been operating in the 800°F to 900°F
(427°C to 482°C) range, it will take approximately one hour and 15 minutes to
cool down to 300°F (149°C).

2. You may unplug the unit without causing damage when it reaches 300°F (149°C).
If you turn off the power switch before reaching 300°F (149°C), the cooling fan
will still operate intermittently. This allows the unit to cool down safely. However,
when the CL900 has been operating at 900°F (482°C) and the power switch is
turned off, cooling down to 300°F (149°C) can take as long as two hours.

• DO NOT UNPLUG THE CL900 WITH THE TEMPERATURE ABOVE 300°F (149°C) OR
SEVERE DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.

• The calibrator is a precision instrument. Although it has been designed for optimum
durability and trouble-free operation, it must be handled with care.

• The calibrator generates very high temperatures. Probes can be very hot when
removed from the well. Take precautions to prevent personal injury or damage to
objects in the area.

• Allow the block to cool before exchanging CL900 inserts (see Section 7). Use the
special tongs that are supplied with the CL900 to remove the insert. Never place
anything (other than one of the CL900 inserts) into the CL900 block.

• Keep the calibrator connected to a live power source during the cooling period. If the
power switch is turned off while the calibrator is still warm, the thermal sensor will
automatically activate the cooling fan to insure a proper cool-down. DO NOT unplug
the calibrator while it is still above 300°F (149°C); this may cause irreversible damage
to the unit.

• The calibrator is equipped with two fuses, the fan fuse and load fuse.

- If either fuse should blow, first replace the defective fuse. Never replace
either of the fuses with one of a current rating greater than the original.

- If the fuse blows repeatedly, there is probably a problem with a component in
the calibrator. In this case, contact the OMEGA Customer Service
Department. To replace either fuse, unplug the calibrator. If the unit
is hot, restore power to the fan as quickly as possible to prevent internal
damage. See Section 9.1 for more details.

• The hot point Calibrator is pre-programmed and factory calibrated for optimum
performance. The auto-tune function is available (refer to Section 6.1) for fine-tuning
the factory preset parameters.

• The calibrator cannot be field-calibrated. If you suspect that the unit is out of
calibration or in need of repair, contact OMEGA for assistance. Do not attempt to alter
the programmed constants (other than the PID parameters as discussed in Section

6.2).

• Two thermal sensors provide over-temperature protection for the hot point Calibrator.
These sensors are strategically located on the calibrator’s block cooling jacket. If the
temperature exceeds normal limits, these sensors turn off power to the heaters. Both
sensors reset automatically when operating conditions return to normal.

SECTION 5 OPERATING PROCEDURES

CAUTION

• Operate the calibrator at room temperatures between 40° and 100°F
(4.4° and 37.7°C).

• Always use the calibrator in an area with adequate ventilation, where
the air can move freely around the unit.

• Allow ample clearance (at least 9" at the back of the unit for the
stabilizing and cooling air to exhaust).

• Do not place the calibrator near objects subject to heat damage.

5.1 BEFORE TURNING THE CALIBRATOR ON

1. Make sure that the power switch is in the OFF position.

2. Trial fit the temperature probe that you want to calibrate in the insert test well to
determine if you have selected the right size. The probe should fit snugly inside the
test well for good thermal contact. In order to maintain stated accuracies, the
sensing portion of the test probe must make good contact with the bottom of the test
well.

2a. Use probes 5" or longer in the 4" test well, and probes 7" or longer in the 6" test

well. The additional probe length will:

• Ensure that the probe reaches the bottom of the well

• Protect any connectors, junctions, etc., from heat damage or thermal
gradients

2b. The calibration process is more accurate using the 6" test well for long probes.

3. Check to see that the insert is seated properly in the stabilizing block.

4. Determine whether you are going to test probes in °F or °C. Set the temperature
selector switch to °F or °C. Refer to Figure 5-1.

Figure 5-1. °F/°C Temperature Selector Switch Location

5. Connect the probe being calibrated to the readout device (meter, controller etc.).

6. Make sure that the top screen of the calibrator is clear so that airflow will not be
restricted.

7. Plug the calibrator into a properly grounded outlet.

5.2 USING THE CALIBRATOR

1. Check to be sure you have completed the steps in Section 5.1.

2. Turn the calibrator ON. You will hear the fan operating.

3. Wait for the PARA window (Figure 5-2) on the calibrator to show (setpoint).

Figure 5-2. Front Panel

4. Select the desired temperature setpoint on the calibrator display.
4a. Use the

or key on the front of the display to enter the new temperature
setpoint value. The decimal point at the lower right corner of the display will
flash while the setpoint is being changed. The unit will begin heating the
calibrating block to the temperature set on the setpoint display.

4b. Press the ENT key on the temperature display panel within the next 60

seconds to store the new setpoint value in memory. At this point, the decimal
point will stop flashing.

5. For best results, wait approximately 15 minutes after the calibration block reaches
the setpoint to allow the internal temperature of the calibrator to stabilize.

5a. The setpoint temperature appears on the green display.
5b. The actual temperature of the well appears on the red display.
5c. The temperature indicated on the red temperature display is your reference

temperature for calibration.

6. You are now ready to calibrate your probes.To determine probe accuracy, compare
the reference temperature displayed by the calibrator (red display) with that shown
on the probe readout device.

CAUTION

Handle the hot probes carefully.

OPERATING TIPS

• When using the CL900 to test more than one probe, group all the
probes that require the same insert size (i.e., all 1/8" diameter probes
together, all 3/16" diameter probes together, etc.). Otherwise, you
must wait for the calibrator to cool, change the insert, then reheat the
calibrator for the next probe.

• When calibrating probes at several setpoints, start at the lowest
temperature and work up to higher temperatures. Do not jump back
and forth between a very high temperature setting and a relatively
cool setting. This will eliminate waiting time for the calibrator to cool
down and re-stabilize.

• If you decide to change from °F to °C (or vice versa) after turning

the calibrator on, the setpoint will reset to zero. You must re­select the desired setpoint (refer to Step 4). Allow time for the

temperature to stabilize before proceeding with calibration.

7. After calibrating each probe, remove it from the test well and place it in a safe area
for cooling. If you have another probe to test, insert it in the test well, set the
setpoint on the calibrator display panel and wait for the temperature to stabilize
(refer to Section 5.2, Steps 4 and 5). Compare the reference temperature on the
calibrator with the temperature of the probe being calibrated. Repeat for each
subsequent probe.

8. COOL-DOWN PROCEDURE: After you have calibrated the last probe, adjust the
setpoint value to 300°F (149°C) or lower and press the ENT key (refer to Section

5.2, Step 4). After the calibrator has cooled down to this temperature, turn off the
power switch and unplug the unit (if necessary).

SECTION 6 AUTO-TUNING THE CALIBRATOR

6.1 USING AUTO-TUNE MODE

“Auto-tune mode” allows you to choose the most effective PID values to achieve
minimum temperature variation at a particular setpoint and load. You can engage auto­tune mode at any specific setpoint value within the operating range of the calibrator.
However, experience has shown it to be most valuable at temperatures above 450°F
(232°C). Refer to Figure 5-2 while performing the following procedures.

To enter auto-tune mode:

1. Press the AT key. The AT LED lights up.

2. Press the ENT key. The AT LED flashes.
The instrument is now in auto-tune mode.

3. When auto-tuning is complete, the AT LED is no longer lit.

To cancel the auto-tuning function before it completes its cycle:

1. Press the AT key. The AT LED flashes rapidly.

2. Press the ENT key. The AT LED is unlit.

NOTE

Auto-tune mode will be automatically canceled if:

• Power fails during auto-tuning

• 0% or 100% output continues for more than
4-1/2 hours after auto-tuning is started

6.2 RESTORING THE FACTORY-SET PARAMETERS

Follow this procedure if you have engaged the calibrator's autotune function but then
wish to restore the calibrator's factory set PID values.

The "parameter" value which appears in the calibrator's parameter window is an
adjustable control function. Parameters used by the calibrator include P (proportional), I
(integral) and D (derivative). Change ONLY the PID values. DO NOT change any other
parameter values. If any other values have been changed, refer to the table in this
section and the troubleshooting guide (if necessary).

Refer to the Parameter Block Diagram (shown in Figure 6-1) while reading the following
steps:

NOTE

Use your finger to press membrane keys. Using objects that are sharp,
hard, or pointed may cause permanent damage to the keypads.

1. Set each of the 3 parameters (P, I and D) to the factory settings shown below. These
are the only parameters you need to change.

FACTORY-SET PID PARAMETERS

Proportional Band: 2.2%
Integral Time: 105 seconds
Derivative Time: 14 seconds

hot point Calibrator

2. Press the Parameter Key (P) on the keypad. The next parameter appears in the
Parameter Window (9).

2a. This parameter corresponds to the first value in the Parameter Block Diagram.
2b. Follow the diagram from left to right while using the Parameter (P) key to step

through the process.

3. Use the

and keys to set the desired numerical value. The decimal point in the

lower right corner of the green display flashes.

4. Press the ENT key to enter the value. The decimal point stops flashing.

6.3 SETTING (OR RE-SETTING) THE KEY LOCK

The calibrator has two key lock states: ON1 and ON2:

ON1 NO CHANGES, including

auto-tune, can be made.

ON2 You can change the set-

point, and start and stop
the auto-tuning process.
No other setting changes
can be made.

• The calibrator is preset with the key lock in the ON2 state.

• The key lock function is automatically turned off if you engage auto-tune mode. If you

then decide to reset the calibrator to the factory set PID values, reset the key lock to
the ON2 state.

Follow the steps below to set (or re-set) the key lock. Refer to Figures 6-1 and 4.2 as
required.

1. The key lock setting is on the "third level" of the Parameter Block Diagram. Press
the B (Blank) key and P (Parameter Selection) keys simultaneously to move to
Block B. The Parameter window displays "t".

2. Press the AT key. The AT LED lights up.

3. Press the B (Blank) and P (Parameter Selection) keys simultaneously. The green
display shows "oFF".

SECTION 7 CHANGING THE INSERT (CL900 ONLY)

To change the insert:

1. Allow the calibrator to cool to room temperature. See Section 3 for the Cool-down
Procedure.

2. Place the tong points in the two holes and Iift the insert out of the stabilizing block.

3. Put a new insert in the block, making sure it touches the bottom.

4. Reheat the insert to the desired temperature (see Section 5).

SECTION 8 SOLID INSERT DRILLING INFORMATION (CL911 ONLY)

Have a qualified machinist drill the insert to the desired hole diameter with the correct
tolerance and depth. The hole diameter should allow the test probe to be readily inserted
with the minimum amount of clearance (1/64").

SECTION 9 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

9.1 REPLACING THE FUSE

The fuse for the fan is a 3AG fast blow type with a 1/8A, 250V rating. The main load fuse
is a 3AG fast blow type with a 10A, 250V rating. Usually a blown fuse indicates a
defective component within the calibrator. Try replacing the fuse first; if it blows
repeatedly, there probably is a defective component. Call OMEGA for instructions.

1. Turn off the calibrator and unplug it from the wall outlet.

CAUTION

If the unit is very hot, restore power to the cooling fan as soon as
possible. Otherwise, serious internal damage may occur to the calibrator.

2. Unscrew the fuse cap and remove the blown fuse.

3 Insert a new fuse of the same type and current rating, and replace the fuse cap.

4. Plug the calibrator into the wall outlet.

5. Turn the calibrator ON using the ON/OFF switch.

9.2 ERROR MESSAGES

The following messages may appear on the calibrator display. These error messages
indicate that the temperature sensor is defective. If you see these messages, contact the
OMEGA Customer Service Department.

SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION

OMEGAʼs TRCIII ice point™ Reference Cell relies on the equilibrium of ice and distilled,
deionized water at atmospheric pressure to maintain six reference wells at precisely 0°C.
The well extends into a sealed cylindrical chamber (containing the distilled, deionized
water) whose outer walls are cooled by thermo-electric cooling elements. The increase
in volume produced by the creation of ice crystals within the Reference Cell is sensed by
the expansion of a bellows which operates a microswitch and controls the cooling
elements. The alternate freezing and thawing of the ice accurately maintains a 0°C
environment around the reference wells. The ice point Reference Cell is available in two
models: 115 Vac model (part number: TRCIII) as well as the 220 Vac model (part
number: TRCIII-220).

CAUTION

Protect the TRCIII from freezing conditions (including shipping).
Damage will result if the unit is stored below 40°F.

Features of the ice point Reference Cell include:

• Provides a highly accurate 0°C thermo-electric "refrigerator"

• Eliminates old fashioned "ice bath"

• Supports versatile use in the factory, laboratory or instrument shop

• Calibrates all temperature instruments and temperature sensors

• Includes rugged outer case for safe portability

• Accepts up to 6 probes

SECTION 2 UNPACKING

Remove the Packing List and verify that you have received all equipment. If you have
any questions about the shipment, please call the OMEGA Customer Service
Department.

Upon receipt of shipment, inspect the container and equipment for any signs of damage.
Take particular note of any evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately report any
damage to the shipping agent.

NOTE

The carrier will not honor any claims unless all shipping material is saved
for their examination. After examining and removing contents, save
packing material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.

Make sure the following is packed in the shipping box.

• TRCIII ice point Reference Cell

• Bottle of mineral oil (approximately 1 ounce)

• Operator’s manual

SECTION 3 SAFETY

Operate the ice point Reference Cell in ambient temperatures between 35°F and 90°F
(2°C and 32°C). Allow sufficient air circulation by leaving a minimum of 2 inches of space
between the rear of the ice point Reference Cell and nearby objects. The thermo-electric
cooling modules rely on free air convection over the two finned heat sinks. Refer to
Figure 3-1.

SECTION 4 PARTS OF THE ice point REFERENCE CELL

• On the top of the TRCIII is a handle for easy transportability.

• On the sloping front surface of the unit is the power switch and the power indicator
light.

• Below the power switch and light are 6 reference wells (5/32" ID holes) where up to 6
thermocouple probes can fit in to be tested. Refer to Figure 4-1. These reference wells
extend into a sealed cylindrical cell containing distilled, deionized water. The reference
cell wall is cooled by thermo-electric modules. When ice is formed within the reference
cell, an increase in volume is sensed by the expansion of a bellows. This bellows
actuates a microswitch which turns off power to the modules. As the ice within the
reference cell begins to melt, the bellows contract. This activates the microswitch,
which in turn energizes the cooling modules. The microswitch actuator is factory­adjusted to maintain sufficient ice within the reference cell to maintain a well
temperature within 0°C ± 0.1°C. The sensitivity of the bellows mechanism is such that
the amount of formation and melting of ice will provide stability to within ± 0.04°C.

SECTION 5 OPERATING PROCEDURES

1. Place the ice point Reference Cell to allow a 2-inch minimum of free air space on all

sides. The thermo-electric cooling modules rely on free air convection over the two
finned heat sinks. NO fan is required. The rear section of the unit contains the
power supply. Convective air cooling is provided through a perforated panel on the
bottom and a louver on each side near the top of this section. Additional cooling is
supplied by a perforated sheet metal enclosure between the rear section which
contains the power supply and the heat sink section which houses the reference
cell.

2. Plug in the unit and turn on the power switch. The red pilot light on the front panel

will illuminate (showing that power has been applied and cooling has begun).

3. After 2 to 3 hours, depending on ambient air temperature, the pilot light will begin to

cycle. This cycle period may vary between 30 seconds to 2 minutes. At this time,
the equilibrium of the reference cell is reached and the unit may be placed in
service.

4. Add 3 to 4 drops of mineral oil or other heat-transfer fluid to each of the 6 reference

wells. Place reference thermocouples into the wells, making sure that the junctions
are at the bottom of the reference wells.

5. The thermocouple wells are internally grounded to earth through the 3-wire power

cord. However, if the wells need to be grounded to an external system so as to
minimize electrical noise pickup, a standard adaptor plug may be used on the power
cord plug. The ground wire from the adaptor plug should be connected to the
external system ground.

SECTION 6 THERMAL "LOADING" OF THE ice point REFERENCE CELL

The thermocouple wire, which is inserted into the unit’s reference well, will conduct some
heat into the reference area. Obviously, if more thermocouples are placed in a well and
the unit is working in a high ambient environment, more heat will be conducted into that
well. The reference temperature may be affected if too great a "thermal load" (i.e., too
many thermocouples) is placed on any given reference well. The unit is designed to
remain within the published specification when all 6 wells are fully loaded with 6 OMEGA
TRP probes. For accessory probes, refer to Section 9.

SECTION 7 APPLICATION NOTES

The ice point Reference Cell provides a precise 0°C temperature environment for
thermocouple reference junctions, RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) calibration,
or any application requiring an accurate, stable, reference temperature.

Example 1: Thermocouple Reference Junctions

The most common ice point Reference Cell application is for use in referencing
thermocouples. A thermal EMF is generated at any junction of dissimilar metals. To
avoid generating an EMF at the terminals of readout instruments or terminal blocks, it is
common practice to "reference" the thermocouple wire as shown in Figure 7-1.
Thermocouple wire is joined to copper lead wire by welding or mechanical procedures.

The junctions are maintained at exactly 0°C in the wells. The copper lead wire is
connected to the readout device (which normally has copper terminals and wiring).
Standard thermocouple calibration tables are compiled on the basis of this arrangement;
therefore, temperatures may be read directly from standard tables. Tables may be
obtained from OMEGA Engineering.

Figure 7-1. Common Thermocouple Reference Hookup

Example 2:

The ice point Reference Cell may also be used for calibrating temperature sensing
devices such as RTDs, thermistors, or standard mercury or alcohol thermometers. To
accomplish this, simply insert the device into one of the reference wells. The reference
temperature is exactly the freezing point of water.

SECTION 8 TROUBLESHOOTING

The ice point Reference Cell has been designed for years of continuous, trouble-free
operation. No periodic maintenance is required.

However, in case the unit fails to operate at any time, check the following items:

• Was the unit frozen or exposed to freezing temperatures during shipment or storage?
If so, the reference cell may be damaged and will require factory repair.

• Is the fuse good? The fuse is located on the back panel of the unit. Replacement fuse
size is 8AG, 2 amp.

• The microswitch may need adjustment. However, before any visual or mechanical
checking can be done, the ice point Reference Cell must be shut off for a period of
about 4 hours or until the well temperature has reached ambient temperature. Then,
locate the small hole plug on the rear panel. It must be removed to make any
adjustment. The adjustment screw may be reached by inserting a blade-type
screwdriver with a shaft length of at least 2 3/4 inches. After turning the ice point on
again, note if the pilot light is ON or OFF.

If the pilot light is ON, make the following adjustments:

1. Turn screw clockwise until the lamp turns OFF.

2. Turn screw counter-clockwise until the lamp comes ON.

3. Continue making 6 complete turns. Adjustment is then complete.

CAUTION

If the pilot light remains lit during this adjustment procedure, the
ice point Reference Cell MUST BE returned to OMEGA for repair.

If the pilot light is OFF, make the following adjustments:

1. Turn screw counter-clockwise until the pilot light comes ON.

2. Continue making 6 complete turns. Adjustment is then complete.
