OC505 is a Calibrator-Multimeter for generation of Currents 0-22mA Sink
or Source und Voltages to 25VDC. External voltages ±2V, ±20V and
±200VDC (firm ranges or auto ranging) and Currents to 0-100mA can be
measured simultaneously and shown at the display.

Further Functions contain generation of calibration mV Signals, Thermo voltages of DIN Thermocouples
and RTD Resistors and simulation of true resistors.

mV voltages of 0-27mV or 0-540mV are mainly used for calibration of Strain Gauges, Transmitters and
small signal inputs with resolution of up to 0.001mV.

Thermocouples J, K, N, R, S, T, B, E are simulated. The temperature is entered with the keyboard and
shown at the display. The cold junction is compensated to the ambient temperature. It can also be
switched-off.

RTD Thermometers can be simulated within the DIN temperature range. The temperature is entered with
the keyboard and shown at the display.

Ohm Source Resistance values up to 3kOhm are simulated. The resistance value is entered with the
keyboard and shown at the display.

Graphics and Memorising of measured signals is a standard function. The signals are continuously
stored and shown at the display as graphics. In apart of this eight memory slots for storing of fast signals

-Transients- are available. They can individually be stored and selectively recalled at the display.
Datalogger is an Option. The calibrating signals and the multimeter input are shown at the display and

stored as tables with date and time from internal RTC. They can be downloaded to the PC and edited
under Windows and Excel. A software program is available for Windows.

CONTROLLER

The Functions of the Calibrator and the Multimeter are selected with the keyboard and supported by a
microcontroller. The factory settings and the calibrated points are stored in a nopn-volatile memory and
remain stored also when the instrument is switched off. The software calibration of all ranges is
accessible in the calibration menu and protected with a password. All ranges can be recalibrated via the
keyboard if required.
The graphic display is divided into two windows. The upper window is shows the multimeter functions,
the lower window the calibrator. In programming mode the display shows the parameters. In graphics
mode of operation the display shows the stored input signals.

2 GRAPHICS DISPLAY

The LCD Display is divided into two parts. The upper part is for the multimeter functions, the lower part
for the calibrator. The bargraph in the middle is the analogical representation of the measured input
signals. The left side shows various symbols:

Symbols in the upper display part

AUTO Automatic Voltage Range or firm measuring range
200V Measure Ranges 2V, 20V, 200V, 100mA
INP The display shows the input signal.

Symbols in the lower display part

RMP Automatic Ramp of the calibrator signal
SUP The battery is being charged
60% Battery voltage in %. Do not run the instrument when the battery shows 0%. Charge only

with the enclosed original charger.
