Section 1 Introduction

1.1 Description

The OMEGA®Model CL-300 Thermocouple Source provides 22 precise
temperature equivalent millivolt signals to transmitters, recorders,
controllers, alarms, data acquisition, and computer systems. Model
CL-300 is cold-junction compensated for ambient temperature
variations and provides a thermocouple connector output. Cables are
available in the desired length and terminal types to exactly duplicate
the thermocouples in the system being tested. Conformity to the
particular thermocouple vs millivolt curve is in accordance with the
latest ASTM and IPTS standards for exact temperature simulation.
Linear millivolt models are also available.

Thermocouple types E, J, K, and T are available in both ˚F and ˚C.
T able 1-1 lists the standard ranges. Resolution is 25˚, 50˚, or 100˚
corresponding to full scale output of 500˚, 1000˚, and 2100˚ respectively.

Dual ranges, with an individual “ON” position for each range, allow
quick, easy settings for any output. Calibrated accuracy is ±0.1% of
span ±1 degree. For negative temperatur es, add ±2 degrees.

T wo internal AAcells provide power for approximately one year of
everyday use. Afront panel LED pulses every time the unit is turned
on to indicate proper battery voltage.
