Section 1 Introduction

1.1Description

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. Table 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 temperatures, add ± 2 degrees.

Two internal AA cells provide power for approximately one year of everyday use. A front panel LED pulses every time the unit is turned on to indicate proper battery voltage.
