1.4 Safety
!
WARNING
The warning sign denotes a hazard. Such warning labels are fitted to
several places on the calibrators. It calls attention to a procedure which,
if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in injury or loss of
life. Do not proceed beyond a warning sign until the indicated conditions
are fully understood and met. If you are in doubt please contact your
nearest Tek Know dealer.
A dry block calibrator is constructed in such a manner that it is impossible
to operate it without generating hot areas that can be of danger. It is
very important the operator in charge of the calibrator is aware of the
potential dangers and that he relays this information to any other future
user.
There are no operational switches or buttons inside the calibrator that is
needed during operation. Opening the calibrator during operation is very
dangerous due to high temperatures and high voltages. The calibrator is
only to be opened by qualified service personnel.
After the calibrator has been operated it may be very hot. Do not turn
off the calibrator if the temperature is above 400°C. The correct
procedure is to set the setpoint to 50°C. and allow it to cool below
100°C.
If the calibrator switches itself down during operation, this can be due
to the internal safety trip switch. In these cases please contact your
dealer because a new fuse will have to be installed.

2. INTRODUCTION
The TC calibrators user manuals are intended to be used with the Tek
Know portable calibrators TC125, TC150, TC400 and TC650. The
TC Calibrators are constructed with a dry temperature variable well,
with a special designed temperature controller. A digital controller with
a dedicated CPU gives the TC calibrators flexible controllability . Digital
control provides for adaptive control of the temperature, which saves
the operator time, and assures high accuracy and easy setting of
temperatures. The local LCD displays both the set temperature and
reference temperature simultaneously.
The display of the TC400 & TC650 has a resolution of 0.1°C, however
the PID controller works with a resolution of 0.01°C.Effectively this
means that a better stability than stated in the specifications may be
obtained. In order to obtain this, the calibration conditions must be ideal.
First and foremost, the ambient temperature must be kept stable state
and longer stabilisation time for the calibrator must be allowed. This is
to compensate for the temperature influence on the electronics. They
come in a dedicated instrument case with assessories such as cable
and inserts.
The communication port RS-232 comes as a standard feature, for use
with a computer in the calibration process. T ek Know provides optional
calibration software for temperature. The TC calibrators together with
the SC200 calibration software and SM300 Signal master will give you
an automatic calibration system.

3.3 HOW TO EXECUTE CALIBRA TIONS
3.3.1 Calibration procedure for TC400 and TC650
1. Move the adjustable handle to one side and turn on
the main switch.
2. Select an insertion tube that best fits the sensor to be tested.
3. Place the insertion tube in the thermo well and put the sensor
to be tested in the insertion tube. Insure that there is a good
contact between sensor and insertion tube.
Note: The insention tube and the well must be clean.
4. The sensor to be tested must be placed as close as possible
to the bottom of the thermo well in order to obtain the best
possible calibration result.
5. The calibration temperature Set Point is selected by means of
the arrow keys é and ê on the front panel of the calibrator.
It is indicated on the second line on the display SETPK.
6. The temperature in the thermo well is indicated in the first
line of the display REF .
7. The reference temperature will stabilise to the SETPKT.
When the reference temperature has been within ± 0.2°C of
the setpoint for 3 min. a * is visible after the last digit of the
REF. temperature. After 7 min. a second * appears behind
the SETPKT temperature, the calibrator is now stable to
within ± 0.1°C.
REF. 250.00*C
SETPKT. 250.00*C

User’s manual TC calibrators
The temperature control within the TC400 and TC650 uses a specially
designed PID controller.Refer to chapter 3.4 for general requirements
to obtain the specified accuracy.
3.3.2 Calibration at high temperatures
The TC650 can generate temperatures up to 650 °C. The TC400 can
generate temperatures up to 400 °C. When using the calibrators at
these high temperatures, drafts may affect the stability of the calibrator .
In order not to expose the electronics to high temperatures over a longer
period of time we do not recommend to use the calibrator for more than
30 min. a time in the range 600-650 °C. If the calibrator os left at high
temperature for approximately 45 minutes, the setpoint will automatically
be set to 50°C.
3.3.3 Precaution
Please pay attention to the fact that RTD’s and thermocouples will
react quickly to temperature changes. Filled bulbs will react more slowly,
even if the TC650 & TC400 have stabilised, the sensor to be tested
may not yet have arrived at the indicated temperature. So when testing
filled bulbs or similar, please allow ample time for temperature
stabilisation. Some sensors are placed in long protection or extension
tubes and can not always be totally immersed in the thermo well.
16
!
WARNING
The metal tube may conduct heat or cold away from the
thermo well and this may affect the calibration. This can
be prevented by using insulation material on the part of the
sensor that is not immersed in the well. The part of the
sensor which is not immersed in the calibrator.
Never store the TC650 & TC400 in the carrying case
before the temperature in the thermo well is below 50°C.

3.3.4 Test of thermostats
The TC650 & TC400 have a built-in test functions for thermostats.
Connect the alligator clips to the on-off function of the thermostat to the
calibrator. The test light on the front of the calibrator will indicate when
the on-off function of the thermostat is activated. Please pay attention
to the fact that thermostats react slowly to temperature changes.

User’s manual TC calibrators
3.4 CALIBRATION HINTS
3.4.1 Time constants
The TC650 & TC400’s reference sensors are mounted in the heatingcooling block and will react quickly to temperature changes (small time
constant). The sensors being tested have a larger time constant due to
larger mass and longer distance to the heating-cooling elements.
Consequently the temperature curve for the reference sensor and the
sensor being tested will be different. See figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 ‘ Temperature Response ‘
A certain overshoot will take place when approaching the Set point.
This speeds up stabilisation time for calibrations. This however only
applies to the reference temperature, as the sensor tested has a larger
mass and reacts more slowly to temperature changes, see fig. 3-1.
Consequently always make sure that before performing a calibration,
that the indicator for stable temperature in the calibrator (a * is shown
in the display after the SETPKT . temperature) is present and also take
into consideration the mass of the sensor being tested. When the TC650
& TC400 calibrators are used with the SC200 software in semiautomatic mode the PC will inform when the sensor being tested has
obtained its stabilisation.
18
User’s manual TC calibrators
3.4.2 High accuracy
Dry block calibrators accuracy and performance to a given specification
is dependent on the fact that it reproduces the conditions for under
which it was calibrated.
There are several factors that may have affect on the accuracy of the
calibrators. There are variations in the sensor diameter , length, thermoconductivity, the active element’s position in the sensor, cleanness of
the sensor and fit in the insert from the one used during the calibrator’s
calibration.
For setpoint temperatures above 400 °C it is important that the insert
block and sensor is clean and free from dust and
oxidisation products.
Always approach the setpoint value from a lower temperature.
The TC400 and TC650 are calibrated dry using a Ø 6mm Industrial
Standard Reference Pt-100 sensor placed in the bottom of a 6,5mm
drilled insert.
Undrilled insertion tubes optional are availablefor custom drilling.
In these cases Scan-Sense can not guaranty for the calibrators
specifications.
To facilitate such calibration Scan-Sense can supply insertion tubes
with 2 or more holes according to specifications.
19
User’s manual TC calibrators
3.4.3 Heat losses to the surroundings
When calibrating or testing a long sensor that is partly exposed when
mounted in the calibrator, a heat loss to the surroundings will result.
This is especially true when the sensor has a large mass that is exposed.
This heat loss will affect the accuracy , and may be as much as 0.5°C to
1.0°C. As a general rule, this error when minimal is the exposed length
of the sensor is < 1/4 of the length of the sensor. We recommend that
the exposed part of the sensor is insulated. See figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2 ‘ Insulation ‘
Different insulating materials may be used, but it is important that it can
withstand the operating temperatures and has a good insulation characteristic.It should be flexible so that it can be tucked around the sensor.
Consult Scan-Sense for further information.
3.4.4 Cleaning of block and insert
In order to obtain maximum and repetitive performance of the calibrator
it is important to keep the temperature well and insert as clean as possible
at all times. Before starting a calibration clean the well, insert and sensor
with fin wire wool or a wire brush. Gun bore cleaning tools are suitable
for this purpose (Not the solvents). Remove the dust from the cleaning
process with a dry cloth or compressed air.

4.4.4 Cleaning of block and insert
In order to obtain maximum performance of the calibrator, it is important
to keep the temperature well and insert as clean as possible. Before
starting a calibration, clean the well and insert. The insert is cleaned
using a dry cloth. Compressed air may be used to clean the well.
4.4.5 Method of calibration
During the calibration of the calibrator a silicon oil was used in the
insert in order to obtain a good thermal conduction between the insert
and the reference thermometer. This silicon oil was used during the
entire calibration of the calibrator.
We recommend therefore that silicon oil be used in the insert when
using the calibrator in order to obtain the same conditions as when the
calibrator was calibrated.

RS 232 INTERF ACE
The TC Calibrators are supplied with an RS 232 port for connection to
a PC as a standard.
To ease the calibration taskand save man-hours, Scan-Sense have
developed a Windows® based software SC200.By using the SC200
software, automatic calibration can easily be done by the user.
Data can be presented in a calibration report that takes into account the
ISO 9000 specifications, procedures, set-up and traceability.
It will also generate a simple database for your sensors and temperature
circuits. The software will be of a significant time saving factor for the
