UPDATEABLE ELECTRICAL CODE CALCULATOR

Model 5065

User’s Guide

The

ElectriCalc

Pro

is an invaluable

calculator for today’s busy electrical

professional. Unlike a regular calculator, it

has intuitively labeled “electrical keys” and

conforms to the 2008 (and 2005, 2002,

1999, 1996) and future

National Electrical

Codes

, allowing you to solve Code-relat-

ed problems quickly and accurately. The

most common NEC tables are now at

your fingertips!

An important feature of the

ElectriCalc Pro

is that it is programmed to accept future

NEC changes, allowing you to convenient-

ly install future Code editions in a few sim-

ple steps.

Introducing the

ElectriCalc®Pro

Now NEC

-Updateable!

The

ElectriCalc Pro

instantly solves for

the following:

• Kirchhoff’s Law

• Ohm’s Law

• Volts, Amps, Volt-Amps, Watts, kVA,

kW, PF%, EFF%, and Resistance

• Copper or Aluminum Wire Sizes

• Parallel and Derated Wire Sizes

• Voltage Drop Wire Sizes, % and

Actual Voltage Drops, Voltage

Drop Distances and Wire Resis-

tances

• Kilowatt hours and BTU’s

• Parallel Resistance

• Grounding Conductors Sizes

• Motor Full-Load Amps

• Overload Protection Sizes

• NEMA Starter Sizes

Your

ElectriCalc Pro

is now updateable

for future National Electrical Code®

editions that are updated every three

(3) years. To upgrade your unit, follow

the instructions below:

1) Purchase the NEC Update from CI

(see pricing / details from CI’s Web

site: www.calculated.com or call

1-800-854-8075). This Update is in the

form of a chip that contains the new

Code.

2) Once you receive the NEC Update

chip, you need to install it in your

ElectriCalc Pro:

a) Turn calculator off.

b) As a precaution, remove the bat-

tery (located back of calculator, top

of unit) by sliding battery door out

with your thumbnail. Set aside.

c) Using a screwdriver, pop out the

square tab located in the middle sec-

tion on the back of your calculator.

d) Replace it with the new update tab

by inserting it into the slot.

e) Replace the battery door.

f) Turn calculator on. Your calculator

is now updated and ready to use.
