1.1 Introduction
The Fluke 9100S Mid-Range Field Calibrator may be used as a portable instrument or
bench top temperature calibrator for calibrating thermocouple and RTD temperature
probes. This instrument is small enough to use in the eld, and accurate enough to use
in the lab. Calibrations may be done over a range of 35°C to 375°C (95°F to 707°F).
Temperature display and setability resolution is 0.1 degrees.
The instrument features:
Rapid heating and cooling
Prop stand
RS-232 interface capability
Built in programmable features include:
Temperature scan rate control
Eight set-point memory
Adjustable readout in °C or °F
The temperature is accurately controlled by Fluke’s digital controller. The controller
uses a precision platinum RTD as a sensor and controls the well temperature with a
triac driven heater.
The LED front panel continuously shows the current well temperature. The
temperature may be set, using the control buttons, to any desired temperature within
the instrument’s range. Multiple fault protection devices insure user and instrument
safety and protection.
This dry-well calibrator was designed for portability, low cost, and ease of operation.
Through proper use, the instrument will provide continuous accurate calibration
of temperature sensors and devices. The user should be familiar with the safety
guidelines and operating procedures of the calibrator as described in the instruction
manual.
