AMETEK JOFRA ASC-400 portable calibrator

AMETEK Test & Calibration Instruments has released a portable multisignal calibrator that allows all functions to be controlled from the main screen for ease of use. The intuitive, 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-colour 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 tool box 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 easily performs time-saving 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 the CPF Series pressure modules from AMETEK Crystal Engineering, the ASC-400 be­comes a pressure calibrator that can achieve accuracies down to 0.025% of reading unaffected by temperature in the range from -10 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.
