Introduction
Congratulations for selecting the ultimate calibration tool!
CL560 is a documenting All-In-One Multifunction Calibrator with calibration capability of pressure, temperature, electrical and frequency
signals. CL560s modularity allows customized construction. If requirements increase in the future, new functionality may be added
by getting additional modules, e.g. adding temperature and/or electrical modules to an CL560 that previously only included pressure
modules.
Thanks to the logical user interface CL560 is very easy to use. The
large backlit graphical display guides the user in different languages
and it displays results both numerically and graphically.
CL560 performs automatic calibration of pressure, electrical and
temperature process instruments. It is capable of communicating
with external devices such as pressure controllers. CL560 also communicates with HART field instruments.
CL560 represents the state of the art in accuracy, adaptability and
all-round usability.

The Upper Panel
The upper panel has 5 places for the following modules/connectors:
External Pressure Modules
CL560 has a connector for External Pressure Modules (EXTs). The
connector is located on the right hand side of the upper panel and
is marked with PX1 in a sticker on the upper panel.
Internal Pressure Modules
Up to three Internal Pressure Modules may be installed in CL560.
One of them may be an internal barometric module. Although the
Barometric Module reserves the space allocated for an internal pressure module it does not need a connector in the upper panel, so the
space reserved for the connector may be used for, e.g. a connector
for an External Pressure Module.
The connectors for Internal Pressure modules start from the second connector on the left. The possible Barometric Module is always located as second from right and it measures the barometric
pressure through a connection in the back panel of MC5. Normally
nothing need to connected to the barometric pressure modules
connector.
Internal pressure modules are marked with P1 P3. The Barometric Module does not have an abbreviation. The whole name is
written on the module.
The recommended pressure medium for all internal pressure modules is clean air. Clean non-corrosive liquids may optionally be used
in modules with a measuring range of 20bar/300psi or more. Avoid
spilling liquid on CL560 when connecting/disconnecting pressure
hoses to/from pressure modules.
To avoid damaging the calibrator, use hand tightening only when
connecting the pressure measurement hoses (max. torque 5 Nm,
approx. 3.6 lbfft). If the use of tools is required to secure the connection (typically pressure modules with a pressure range higher
than 20 bar), apply the counterforce with a spanner on the connector bodys hexagonal part.
The overpressure protection of the internal pressure modules vents
to the back of the calibrator. Remember to be cautious when working with pressure and pressure modules. See also chapters Safety
on page 26 and Safety Precautions and Warnings on page 27.

General
The Connectors on the Left Side of CL560
The left side of CL560 (front view) has three connectors as follows:
Environment Temperature Interface
This connector is for an optional temperature measurement sensor. This sensor is only meant for environment temperature measurement. It should not be used as a reference sensor when calibrating temperature instruments.
Computer/Printer Interface
The COMP/PRT connector may be used when connecting to a serial port in a PC. The PC may have a calibration software capable of
communicating with CL560 or, e.g. a software that reads data logging results in CL560 and transfers them to a PC.
The same connector can be used when CL560 is connected to an
optional portable printer. The printer may be used for printouts of
user interface screens (e.g. calibrations results).
Warning!
Use only cables provided by Beamex when connecting CL560
to a PC or a printer.
Auxiliary Instrument Interface
The AUX connector is used when connecting pressure controllers,
temperature baths/dry blocks etc. to CL560.
Using auxiliary instruments is described in Part C of this manual.
6
The Front Panel
The front panel has several sections. Some of them are pointed out
with a callout in the picture of Operational Sections and Connections, and some of them not (e.g. display and keyboard). The ones
with a callout are discussed first in the following paragraphs.
Electrical Module (E module)
The E module can measure the following quantities: voltage, current and frequency. It can also be used when counting pulses or
detecting the state of a switch. Additionally there is a possibility to
generate current and supply an instrument with a 24VDC power
supply.
The E module also includes the optional HART modem. This allows
communication with an instrument with HART capabilities. When
HART is used in conjunction with MC5s power supply, an internal
270 ohm resistor
needed for HART communication is automatically included.
Additional information
on calibrating HART instruments is in Appendix 1.

quency and pulses.
Measuring capabilities:
· Low Voltage measurement and T/C measurement using ei-
ther the internal reference junction or the Low Voltage connectors.
· Resistance and RTD measurement.
Generation/simulation capabilities:
· T/C simulation using either the internal reference junction or
the Low Voltage
connectors.

General
Reference Junction Module
The T/C measurement/simulation internal reference junction is an
optional addition to the ET module. It is specially designed for CL560
and therefore best suited for reference junction compensation when
calibrating thermocouples or instruments connected to a thermocouple.
The Reference Junction Module is suited for
all standard T/C plugs
and stripped wires.
Open the fixing screw
on the left side of
CL560 before connecting the wires/plug to the Reference Junction Module. Make sure to
connect the wires/plug as the polarity is indicated on the Reference
Junction Module. Remember to tighten the fastening screw when
the wires/plug are connected. Hand tightening is adequate. Do not
pull out the wires/plug without first opening the fixing screw. Otherwise you might damage the contact surface of the connectors.
T/C measurement and simulation may also be done without the
internal reference junction by using the Low Voltage terminals in
the ET module. Then the reference junction arrangements have to
be done outside CL560 and the correct reference junction settings
as well as the reference junction temperature have to be informed
to CL560.
Part B of this manual describes in detail what kind of reference
junction settings are available.

The keys on the CL560s keyboard are grouped according to their
function as follows:
The Cursor Keys and the Enter Key
The Cursor keys and the Enter key are located close to the upper
left corner of the display. The Cursor keys are used when moving
the cursor on the screen. They also have several special functions
in certain situations, e.g. when tuning the contrast of the display.
The Enter key finishes the entering of values.
The Keys Above the Display
The Light key toggles the back light of the display on and off. It is

Memory
10
CL560 has a dynamic memory allocation system. This means that
there is not a specific area of memory reserved for, e.g. instrument
data. All free memory may be used for anything that requires more
memory. Thus there is no exact limit for the number of instruments
that CL560 can maintain in its memory. It all depends on how much
memory is allocated by other data.
Batteries
Full batteries:
Empty batteries:
CL560 Hardware
CL560 supports the use of both rechargeable batteries and alkaline batteries. When using alkaline batteries, you need a Dry Battery Cartridge. CL560 automatically detects the battery type.
The alkaline batteries to be used are:
- Cell Voltage: 1.5 V
- Amount: 6
- Type: AA
The charger for rechargeable batteries operates in the following
environments:
- Voltage: 100240 VAC,
- Frequency: 50/60 Hz
The charging electronics is in the Battery Pack. Therefore the batteries may be charged although the Battery Pack is disconnected
from CL560s Base Unit. If you have two sets of rechargeable batteries you may charge the disconnected Battery Pack while at the
same time use CL560 with the connected Battery Pack.
The maximum operating time without recharging varies depending
on the usage and brightness setting of the display light. Also the
generated output current and the usage of the 24V transmitter supply affect the maximum operating time. Even with constant maximum load, the standard rechargeable batteries should last for 6
hours. A good average operating time is 10 hours.
If alkaline batteries are in use, the maximum operating time also
depends on the quality of the batteries. An average operating time
is approximately 4 hours.
The upper left corner of CL560s display shows a picture of a battery. The whiter the picture is, the more acute is the need for recharging (or changing of the alkaline batteries).
Notes.
CL560s memory and the internal clock/calendar uses a small
amount of power although the calibrator is switched off. Remember
to check the capacity of the batteries from time to time although
CL560 is not in use.
Do not leave CL560 without a Battery Pack or a Dry Battery Cartridge for a long time. CL560 may loose its settings if it is left without
a support voltage for an extended period.

General
About the Charger and the Charging Procedure
The charger is connected to the charger connector at the bottom of
CL560. The charging electronics informs you of the phases of the
charging procedure with the help of the charge status light.
C h a r g e r c o n n e c t o r
C h a r g e s t a t u s l i g h t
When connecting the charger, the charging electronics first checks
the charge level of the batteries. At this stage, no light is visible in
the charge status light.
When the charge status light is red, a recharging is either starting
(blinking red light) or in progress (constant red light). CL560 may
be used during the recharging phase. Empty batteries are fully
charged in approx. 2½ hours.
When the charge status light is green, the batteries are charged. At
this stage the charging electronics provide a support voltage that
prevents the batteries from discharging
12
Warnings!
USE ONLY THE CHARGER PROVIDED WITH THE CALIBRATOR.
The charger accepts input voltages from 100 to 240VAC.
The charger should only be used indoors and the temperature
should not exceed 40 °C (104 °F).
Removing/Replacing the Battery Pack
To remove or replace the Battery Pack, perform the following procedure:
1. 2.
1. Turn CL560 upside down (the display facing the table top) and
lift the support.
2. Pull the lever that is hidden under the support. The Battery
Pack pops out allowing you to pull it out.
To replace the Battery Pack, simply slide it on its place. When you
hear a click, the Battery Pack is secured in its place.
CL560 Hardware
Note.
Although the Base Unit is IP65 protected, the Battery Pack is not.
The Battery Pack has holes in order to vent generated gas and
heat. Avoid exposing the Battery Pack to liquids.
13
General
Support for Table Top Use
The support gives you a good viewing angle when CL560 is placed
on a table top. Lift the support at the back of CL560 and place
CL560 on the table top as shown in the picture.
The Wrist Strap and the Neck Support Strap
CL560 has a wrist strap to enable ease of use
when CL560 is held in one hand. The neck
support strap helps you during field calibration: Position CL560 in an angle that allows
reading the display when working. Alternatively: Hang CL560 from, e.g. a valve shaft so
that the display is on the same level as your
eyes. Then your hands are free for working
with the connections etc.
The Optional Carrying Case
CL560s soft carrying case is practical when moving from a location
to another. The carrying case can also be used for transporting
utilities, like:
· Test hoses, test leads and clips
· External pressure modules
· A pressure pump
· Temperature sensors
· Charger and its cable
· User Guide (this book)
The carrying case is suited for use in normal industrial environment.
14
CL560 Firmware
CL560s firmware is saved in FLASH memory. Therefore it is relatively easy to update the firmware whenever a new version with
fresh capabilities is released. See Firmware Update on page 30
for more information on updating the firmware in your CL560.
General Description
The following picture shortly describes the functions of the firmware. All main functions are marked with a black border. Each main

Startup Procedure
The following chapters briefly describe each main function.
Every time CL560 is started the Startup Procedure checks the functionality of the device by performing a self test.
If the self-test is passed successfully, some basic calibrator data is
displayed.
After that CL560 automatically proceeds to Basic Mode. A more
comprehensive description of the Startup Procedure is in the beginning of Part B of this manual.

Basic Mode
Maintenance
Calibration Mode
General
In Basic Mode you can measure and generate/simulate signals.
There are two separately configurable windows available. Basic
Mode is often used for testing connections before starting the actual calibration procedure of an instrument.
Stepping and Ramping tools enable generating/simulating signals
that vary with time.
All main functions of Basic Mode are described in part B of this
manual.
Part C concentrates on Basis States higher level functions and
additional information.
This main function handles calibrator configuration settings.
Additionally there is the possibility to recalibrate CL560 (requires a
password).
Maintenance level subjects are handled in Part C of this Manual.
CL560s main duty is calibrating instruments. Therefore very special attention was directed on this matter when creating the calibrator. CL560 may be used as a stand-alone calibrator i.e. all instrument data and calibration history data is saved in CL560s own
memory. Optionally CL560 also communicates with calibration software.
CL560 supports the use of instruction texts. They help the technician to perform the calibration as fluently as possible. You may enter three kinds of instruction texts: Starting Guide, Adjusting Guide
and Finishing Guide. Additionally, calibration notes can be entered
after the calibration procedure.
More calibration related information is available in Part D of this
manual.
Calibration Results
16
The graphical representation as well as numeric data of the calibration results may be viewed in CL560 (and printed if the optional
printer is available). Transferring the results to a calibration software makes it possible to view the results in PC environment.
More information concerning calibration results is presented in Part
D of this manual.

The Help function is not seen in the
picture of the menu structure because it is not a separate branch
but a utility available in almost any
situation. If you need help, just
press the
key. A window with
related help pops up.

The User Interface
The main elements of the User window can be seen in the following
picture:
All possible elements are not included in the previous picture, but
the important ones are discussed in the following chapters.
The Status Bar
The Status Bar at the top
of the display is visible all
the time. It is divided into
four main sections.
The first (leftmost) section displays the charge level of the battery.
The battery symbol is replaced by a plug symbol (
using the battery charger together with the optional Dry Battery
Cartridge. In this case the battery charger acts as a battery eliminator. The second section displays the time and date. The third section displays the temperature measured with the optional environment sensor, if the sensor is connected to CL560.
The fourth section (rightmost) section displays additional information in the form of symbols, like:
Note that the fourth section is empty for most of the time. The symbols are visible only when needed.

editable. It is, e.g. a generation field
for entering generation values.
If several editable fields are visible,
choose the active field with the cursor keys or the
B/Field Function
Key.
Calibration:
The display area is divided into
three windows during a calibration.
The first window displays data related to the instruments input signal. The second corresponding
data related to the output signal.
The third window displays the error graph. The error graph is also
seen among calibration result data.
Configuration Window:
There are plenty of configuration
windows in CL560. The picture beside is the configuration window for
Ramping settings.
The common thing for all configuration windows is that they reserve
