User’s Guide

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CL220 is designed to be a simple to use, high
accuracy thermocouple calibrator capable of either
simulating or reading J, K, T, or E thermocouple
types. A standard thermocouple mini-connector
makes connections easy while providing direct
contact with the internal cold junction compensation
circuitry.

When used as a thermocouple simulator, the CL220
provides 2 sets of output control keys which allow
the user to either “step” in 100° increments or scroll
in smaller increments.

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

Remove the Packing List and verify that all
equipment has been received. If there are any
questions about the shipment, please call Omega’s
Custome Service Dept. at 1-800-826-6342.

When you receive the shipment, inspect the
container and equipment for any signs of damage.
Note 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.

SET-UP

Before beginning, become familiar with the keypad
layout and the configuration of the input/output
jacks. Remember, these jacks are used in multiple
configurations so pay careful attention to how the
test leads are connected for the specific application.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

1. Turn on power and select the desired
thermocouple type by depressing the T/C
SELECT key. Once the desired T/C is selected, it
will remain in memory until a new T/C type is
selected.

2. Select either Input or Output mode depending on
whether you want to read a thermocouple or
simulate a thermocouple signal.

3. Connect the appropriate thermocouple to the
mini-connector on the top of the CL220.

4. If you are using the CL220 in the output mode use
the STEP or SCROLL keys to set the output. The
STEP key will step in 100° increments and the
SCROLL key allows single degree increments
which will increase in speed if the switch is
depressed for several seconds.

OPERATING MODES

1. When operating in the thermocouple output
mode, the CL220 has the ability to simulate up to
4 T/C types (J, K, T, E) into devices which
measure thermocouples:

Note: If the CL220 is improperly connected to a low
impedance load (either a short or near short) the display
will flash “ERROR”.

SIMULATING A THERMOCOUPLE OUTPUT

2. When operating in the thermocouple Read Mode
the CL220 can be used to read the temperature of
a thermocouple probe.

In this mode, the CL220 will detect an open circuit
should the thermocouple junction malfunction. In
this case, the display will flash “OPEN”. It will
also flash “OPEN” if no probe is connected in the
Input Mode.

MAINTENANCE

Generally, with normal usage, this calibrator should
hold its rated specifications for at least 12 months.
Beyond this, it should remain within 1.5X of its
specification over its useful life, provided it is not
abused or tampered with. If after the stated warranty
period, the device falls out of calibration, it can be
returned to Omega for re-calibration. Please call
1-800-826-6342 for pricing and return information.
