Multi-Signal Calibrator Features Single-Layer Interface

Aug. 5, 2014
AMETEK Test & Calibration Instruments introduced the JOFRA ASC-400 multi-signal calibrator.

AMETEK Test & Calibration Instruments introduced the JOFRA ASC-400, a portable, multi-signal calibrator that allows all functions to be controlled from the main screen. The single-layer interface of the JOFRA ASC-400 allows technicians to use as many as 11 different functions without referring to documentation. It has a high contrast, full-color screen and full numeric keyboard.

It provides laboratory accuracy for field calibration, process monitoring and maintenance functions. It is compact enough to fit into a toolbox and operate with one hand. The instrument meets the calibration demands of modern sensors and transmitters for numerous functions in process control, systems engineering and maintenance.

It is capable of sourcing with simultaneous read-back from device-under-test of mA, V, pulsed transmitters, pressure and temperature. The calibrator performs functions such as automatic switch test, leak test, scaling and online percentage error calculation. It performs fast RTD simulation, works with pulsed transmitters and PLCs and can be used as a high-accuracy thermometer.

When paired with CPF Series pressure modules from AMETEK Crystal Engineering, the ASC-400 becomes a pressure calibrator. It achieves accuracies down to 0.025 percent of reading unaffected by temperature in the range from -10°C to 50°C.

The ASC-400 offers simultaneous input and output, which makes it possible to calibrate and adjust a transmitter with no need for additional equipment.
