GENERAL PERFORMANCE  
A complete system for testing, measuring and calibrating built in a single, compact portable instrument. The portable  
calibrator CL526 is a multifunction instrument designed to meet, in a modern and practical way, the needs of  
instrumentation engineers, both in laboratory and field work.  
Accurate, compact, rugged, easy to use; the ideal solution for measuring and simulating:  
millivolts  
volts  
milliamperes (active and passive loop)  
ohms  
thermocouples  
resistance thermometers  
The CL526 has been developed using the most advanced microprocessor technology to provide high accuracy on  
extended ranges and a powerful operating flexibility.  
The modular firmware includes the algorithms of thermocouples and resistance thermometers in accordance with IEC,  
DIN standards. IPTS68 and ITS90 linearization are memory stored and can be selected through the keyboard.  
The simulation-measurement of resistance and temperature with resistance thermometer uses a special proprietary  
active circuit.  
An unique internal automatic Rj compensation system allows the CL526 to provide accurate input and output readings  
over wide operating conditions, with a temperature range from -5°C to +50°C. Further, external compensation is  
available with temperature adjustable from -50°C to +100°C.  
The selection of operating functions is made on a polycarbonate thermoformed membrane keyboard which assures up to  
one million operations per key.  
Two thick film membrane “slidewires” are used to set the simulated signal value.  
Measured and simulated values are indicated on a high quality LCD dot matrix display which provides good contrast  
even in poor light conditions.  
A menu-driven procedure allows for the generation of up to 60 memory stored values, or, for continuous or step ramp  
values.  
The instrument carries out mathematical functions for averaging unstable input signals and, in combination with scale  
factor, square root calculation.  
The case, made in shock-resistant ABS, is ergonomically designed for easy practical use.  
The instrument is powered by four Ni-MH rechargeable batteries; an external battery charger is supplied as a standard  
accessory.

GENERAL FEATURES  
2.1  
Input and output flexibility  
Advanced flexibility of performance has been achieved using microprocessor technology. Each instrument, through a  
menu-driven procedure, allows measurement or simulation of mV, V, mA, , or any normalized IEC, DIN and JIS  
thermoelectric sensor J, K, T, R, S, B, C, U, L, N, E, F, G, D, Pt100, Ni100 and Ni120.  
The microprocessor performs automatic polynomial linearization and cold junction compensation to assure high  
accuracy. °C or °F selection can be made through a reconfiguration set-up.  
2.2  
Self calibration  
The hardware-firmware design allows an automatic calibration of the instrument. A precision source (from 0 to 10V), a  
0°C reference system, a standard resistor of 400(±0.02% accuracy) and an ohmmeter are necessary. The calibration  
procedure is protected by a security code.  
2.3  
Keyboard  
A thermoformed metal-click tactile polycarbonate membrane keyboard, with a working life of one million operations per  
key, seals the internal electronics from the surrounding environment.  
Contact closure of membrane keys is acknowledged, as a coded signal, directly by the microprocessor. Two membrane  
slidewires (patent pending) allow operator setting of the simulation value.  
2.4  
Display  
The high contrast alphanumeric LCD display with dot matrix (7x5 dots per character-16 characters) allows easy readings,  
even in poor light conditions, and simultaneously indicates the active function (measured or simulated), engineering unit  
and type of sensor or signal.  
2.5  
Digital interface  
A digital interface with TTL logic levels is available as standard for communication with external units.  
A serial data port provides communication capability at a logic level of 0-5V (four wires: Tx, Rx, GND, Vcc).  
A seven-pole cable, with mini DIN connector is supplied as a standard accessory, and a TTL to RS 232 adaptor is  
available as an option.  
2.6  
Scale factor function  
Easy menu-driven set-up to read or simulate electrical signal value in terms of engineering units. Four programmable  
alphanumeric characters are available on the display to show the symbol of the parameter (i.e. mbar, %RH, %CO, etc.).  
The display will indicate the scaled input/output value.  
2.7  
Square root function  
Can be programmed during the set-up procedure (e.g. linear ranges only) to obtain direct readings of flow from a dP  
transmitter signal. The display limits are 0 and +2500.  
2.8  
Average measurements  
For the measurement of unstable input signals by a progressive averaging of a programmable number of conversions.  
2.9  
Simulation programs  
Menu-driven set-up to generate:

a continuous or step ramp output where the total time, the start point, the end point and the size of the step are  
requested by the set-up procedure to run the program;  
a manual repeat increment through keyboard;  
an automatic sequence of up to 60 stored values (20 groups of 3 memories).  
2.10

The instrument is powered, if not otherwise specified with the order, by four internal batteries that can be recharged  
through an external charger module supplied as a standard accessory.  
The internal batteries are Ni-MH rechargeable AA type with a nominal voltage of 1.25 V. The jumper “J1” (mounted on  
the mother board), when soldered into the “B” position, allows the instrument to be powered by the four internal  
rechargeable batteries or, if needed, directly from the power line. The voltage of the four batteries in series  
(approximately 5V) is connected to the input of a hybrid circuit.  
Pressing the <ON> key will provide the two levels of voltage for the circuitry of the instrument:  
+ 5 V for logic and analog circuits  
- 5 V for analog circuits  
The second section, on the power supply circuit, is configured as a voltage multiplier generating for the final output stage,  
a voltage of 24V dc. The above voltage levels are required to work with an external resistance of 1000maximum when  
in current simulation mode (20 mA - 20 V). During operative modes, other than current simulation a diode de-energizes  
the hybrid circuit reducing the overall power consumption.  
Recommendations and instructions to convert the instrument for a power supply with normal alkaline batteries are  
described in par. 8.3.  
4.2  
Keyboard  
The front panel is a tactile polycarbonate membrane keyboard, and has a working life of one million operations per key.  
The contact closure of the membrane keyboard is acknowledged as a coded signal by the microprocessor that  
recognizes the operators instructions.  
Keys are interconnected on a 4x3 matrix; the microprocessor identifies directly the active key.  
The values of the <L> and <L> keys (membrane slidewires) are acknowledged through the converters built in the  
microprocessor chip.

The microprocessor recognizes if the D/A converter is generating a voltage signal higher or lower than the input signal  
and gives correcting instructions to keep the input amplifier output on the nearest value to zero. In the above conditions  
the microprocessor acknowledges the value of the input signal as equivalent to the setting of the digital to analog  
converter.

Microprocessor  
The microprocessor handles all the logic functions of the instrument, performs the linearization for non linear  
transducers, compensates for the reference junction temperature, drives the digital display and acknowledges all  
operator instructions.  
The heart of the circuit is a single-chip microcomputer that utilizes HCMOS technology to provide the low power  
characteristics and high noise immunity of CMOS plus the high speed operation of HMOS.  
The microcomputer provides highly sophisticated, on- chip peripheral functions including: 256 bytes of static RAM, an 8  
channel analog to digital (A/D) converter (used to read the Rj value, the setting of the input comparator, the battery  
package voltage and the value of the two membrane slidewires), a serial communication interface (SCI) subsystem, and  
a serial peripheral interface (SPI) subsystem.  
The microprocessor works with an 8-bit communication bus to the EPROM and EEPROM memories and is interfaced  
with a decoder, a latch of address and an inverter-driver.  
4.5  
Firmware  
The operating system firmware handles all logic instructions to the internal peripheral circuits and performs the  
computation of the linearization equations.  
The application system firmware is resident on the non-volatile memory (EEPROM) of the microprocessor chip. It is used  
to store the installation parameters (autocalibration data, programs data, etc.)  
4.6  
Digital display  
The digital display, mounted on an auxiliary board, uses high contrast LCD technology (STN liquid). Character  
generation is made by a secondary dedicated microprocessor driven by two integrated circuits with signal input from the  
bus of the main microprocessor.  
The 16 characters are displayed with a 7x5 dot matrix. On request, CL526 can be equipped with a backlight device for  
easy readings in poor light conditions.  
4.7  
Digital to analog converter  
A 14-bit digital to analog device, driven directly by the microprocessor converts the digital value of the selected  
parameter into an analog current output.  
The current signal is converted into a voltage signal across a resistance strip network.  
Two low thermal emf relays select one of the four available output points as a function of the selected range. The ranges  
are:

Battery charger. Operation from line source  
ATTENTION ONLY FOR USE WITH NI-MH BATTERIES.  
:
The auxiliary module, supplied as a standard accessory, allows operation from 110-120 Vac or 220-240 Vac 50/60 Hz.  
The calibrator, if needed, can be operated directly from a line source through the charger. The plastic case of the battery  
charger incorporates the line voltage plug and a cable with connector for interconnection to the instrument. The charger  
circuit is designed with an insulating transformer and a voltage stabilizer circuit.  
The step-down transformer reduces the power line (110-120 Vac or 220-240 Vac nominal) to a value of 10 Vac. The  
above voltage is full wave rectified, filtered and stabilized. The output voltage of 6,6 V is the ideal value to recharge the  
internal Ni-MH batteries.  
4.9  
Digital interface  
The digital interface circuit is essentially based on the serial communication interface subsystem (SCI) on the chip of the  
microprocessor at 0 to +5V level.  
An adaptor to convert TTL to RS 232 voltage levels can be obtained on request.  
4.10  
Resistance and Rtd measurements  
The resistance thermometer (Rtd) is connected to terminals A-B-C in a 3-wire configuration (see figure on the next  
page).  
Two constant current generators are provided by the auxiliary module for supplying the Rtd.  
The first half of “IC1” generates the negative current I = - 0.25 mA that flows from terminal B to terminal A through the  
A
Rtd and line resistances RLA and RLB. I is kept constant by the microprocessor that controls the zero voltage level.  
A
The second half of “IC 1”, with the associated resistors, generates the positive current I that flows from terminal C to  
C
terminal B through line resistances RLC and RLB. Current I is kept exactly = 2 x I , so the resultant current I = I - I  
A
C
A

flows through RLB. The input measured signal across terminals A and B is the algebraic sum of drop voltages across  
Rtd and line resistances RLA and RLB. As drop voltages across RLA and RLB are exactly the same (providing that line  
resistances RLA and RLB are equals), but with opposite poles, the resultant voltage across terminals A and B is  
proportional to Rtd resistance variation, with no influence of line resistance.  
The measured signal is then handled by the microprocessor that linearizes it and displays the corresponding value in  
engineering units.

Resistance and Rtd simulation  
CL526 portable calibrator is equipped with an electronic circuit for the active simulation of platinum and nickel resistance  
thermometers and resistances.  
It is based on the assumption that the instrument to be calibrated will supply the excitation current to the sensor; this  
current must be between 0.2 and 5 mA ( typical working values ).  
A lower value will generate an insufficient precision level and a higher current won’t permit the simulation of high  
resistance values ( maximum voltage drop on the simulated resistance is 2 V ).  
The excitation current must be applied to the pertinent terminals as indicated in par. 7.1 (simulation).  
That current, flowing through resistance “ Ra“ (precision ± 0.01%) will generate a voltage drop that will be amplified and  
sent to the D/A converter. The output amplifier will simulate the variation of the output resistance as a function of the  
value set by the operator through the keyboard.  
The connection between “+” and “-” terminals must be left open.

Thermocouples input-output circuit  
A thermocouple, a temperature sensor, in its most common form consists of two wires of different composition, joined  
together at one end. The two wires are joined together at two points which have different temperatures.  
Tc wires  
Reference Junction  
emf  
output  
Copper wires  
Measuring junction  
The reference junction is also often, but less preferably, called the “cold” junction.  
The temperature of the reference junction can be held constant or its variation electrically compensated in the  
associated measuring instrumentation.  
The second junction is the measuring junction (or “hot” junction).  
A thermocouple is a practical tool for temperature sensing because it generates a measurable electrical signal.  
The signal is proportional to the temperature difference between the measuring and reference junctions and is defined,  
by means of tables, based on the International Practical Temperature Scales (IPTS68 or ITS90).  
The portable calibrator CL526 has the reference junction located in the negative (black) terminal post. To improve  
overall accuracy the terminals are designed with a very low thermal capacity.  
Inside the body of the negative terminal is placed a thin film Pt100 resistance thermometer that dynamically measures,  
with high accuracy, the temperature of the reference junction.  
The microprocessor uses the above signal (Pt100) to adjust the input signal to compensate for the Rj temperature.  
Reference junction compensation can be internal or external, depending upon the application requirements.

PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECK  
The CL526 portable calibrator is powered by four Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.  
The external battery charger, supplied as standard, may be ordered for either 110/120 Vac or 220/240 Vac power  
source. To modify the charger’s power voltage follow the instructions in par. 8.2.  
Before using the instrument carefully verify the nominal voltage value of the charger; in case of modification do not  
forget to correct the pertinent label.  
The instrument should be used in environments where the temperature does not exceed the specified limits (from -5°C to  
+50°C) and where the relative humidity is lower than 95%.  
Out 1248.3°C Tc  
In case of “low” battery condition (voltage lower than 4.6 V) the display will show the appropriate symbol. An empty  
symbol means that the battery package has enough energy for about 30 minutes operation. A black symbol means that  
batteries charge is below the minimum acceptable level: operation of the instrument is no longer possible. In this  
condition the instrument batteries must be recharged.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
Appropriate extension wires should be used between the thermocouple (or instrument under calibration) and the CL526  
unless the thermocouple leads permit direct connection.  
Make sure that both thermocouple and compensating cable are connected with the correct polarity.  
If in doubt, the polarity of the compensating leads can be checked by connecting a length of lead to the indicator,  
shorting the free ends of the wires together and noting that the indicator reading increases when the wires connection  
is heated.  
Color codes of compensating cables change in different countries. Check the appropriate table.  
For Rtd connection use a cable of adequate gauge to lower the overall input resistance.  
The use of a cable with a good resistance balance between conductors is also necessary.

Wiring practice  
Although the CL526 portable calibrator is designed to be insensitive to transients or noise, the following  
recommendations should be followed to reduce ac pick up in the signal leads and to ensure good performance.  
The input leads should not be run near ac line wiring, transformers and heating elements.  
Input/output leads should, if possible, be twisted and shielded with the shield grounded at the end of the cable.  
When shielded cables are used the shield must be connected to the positive terminal.  
Above figure shows some examples of input/output wiring and connections.

Thermocouple wires  
When making measurements where additional wires have to be connected to the thermocouple leads, care must be  
exercised in selecting these wire types, not only where they are claimed to be of the same composition as the  
thermocouple involved, but, also, of their "quality".  
Performance results where high precision is required and in circumstances where some types of thermocouple wire  
leads are added to the original installation should be reviewed carefully for the impact of the choice of the additional wire  
leads.  
The quality of thermocouple wire is established by the limit of error to be expected with its use.  
There are three recognizable levels of quality:  
- Special or Premium grade  
- Standard grade  
- Extension wire grade  
The error limits determining the grade quality differ from thermocouple type to thermocouple type, reflecting the degree of  
difficulty in maintaining the precise levels of purity of the metal used.  
21  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The table below summarizes the error limits for Premium and Standard grades, while Extension grade wire is  
characterized by limits of error exceeding those in the table.  
Errors up to ±4°C may be experienced when using Extension grade thermocouple wire for J and K thermocouples.

POWER SUPPLY  
8.1  
Rechargeable batteries  
The CL526 portable calibrator is powered by four built-in rechargeable batteries. The instrument is shipped with an  
average level of charge. After unpacking, a full charge of the batteries is recommended; connect the instrument to the  
charger module (“OFF” condition) for a period of 10 hours minimum.  
The Ni-MH rechargeable batteries do not suffer when used in cyclic operations.  
Cyclic operation is understood as a method of operation by which the battery is continually charged and discharged.  
Note that a battery, at its lower limit of discharge, risks a non uniform cell polarization: this condition makes it difficult to  
recharge with the charger supplied.  
Avoid leaving the instrument, with batteries totally or partially discharged, for a long time without recharging.  
To charge the batteries use only the original supplied charging module. The module incorporates protection and current  
limiting devices not normally found in other commercial chargers.  
When the CL526 is connected to the battery charger module, by pressing keys <SHIFT> + <BATTERY> the  
following indication will be displayed:  
Battery: Line Op  
If a numeric value appears, it indicates that the charger is probably faulty.  
Replace the battery charger module; if the indication persists, contact OMEGA -Technical Assistance Dept.  
WARNING:  
AVOID USING ALKALINE BATTERIES ON AN INSTRUMENT SET FOR NI-MH RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES  
.
THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT COULD CAUSE THE ALKALINE BATTERIES TO EXPLODE  
.
8.2  
Battery Charger  
The external battery charger is configured, before shipment, for a supply voltage of 110-120 Vac or 220- 240 Vac, upon  
order specification. The nominal voltage value is indicated on the front label of the charger. Check for the correct input  
voltage before connect it to the line.  
8.3  
How to maximize the battery life  
Disconnect the ac mains supply when the battery is charged. Use the battery until it is completely discharged.  
Leaving the ac mains supply plugged in will decrease the life of the battery.  
Keeping the battery terminal clean will help maximize the operating time. Periodically wipe the positive and negative  
terminals with a dry cloth.  
Removing and replacing the batteries will ensure electrical contact. This should be done when using a battery that has  
not been used for a long time.  
Note that the operating time decreases at low temperatures.  
A Ni-MH battery can be recharged about 500 times when used with the recommended instructions.  
When replacing the Ni-MH batteries with a new set always replace simultaneously the four pieces.

Communication programs  
In this paragraph are illustrated two examples of communication programs between the CL526 and an IBM or IBM  
compatible PC.  
Example A: (data transfer from CL526 to PC)  
Set IDNAME=1 and BAUD RATE=9600 on CL526 (see chapter 8.6). Connect CL526 through adapter BB530001 (TTL-  
RS232 converter), to personal computer communication port COM1.  
Set CL526 in mA measurement (IN). Run the program and you will see on the computer screen the actual reading value  
(once).  
Example B: (PC instructions to CL526)  
Set IDNAME=1 and BAUD RATE=9600 on CL526 (see chapter 8.6). Connect CL526 through adapter BB530001 (TTL-  
RS232 converter), to personal computer communication port COM1.  
Set the CL526 for current OUT mode; run the program and CL526 will be set automatically to 20mA.

MAINTENANCE  
The CL526 portable calibrator has been factory tested and calibrated before shipment.  
The calibration should be verified and re-adjusted if the instrument is showing an error exceeding the declared  
specifications or when a critical active or passive component is replaced (either at component level or at board level).  
OMEGA will supply, on request, a technical reference manual, with all instructions and recommendations for service and  
calibration. OMEGA engineers will give prompt support for any requests of assistance.  
11.1  
Safety recommendations  
Primary elements (i.e. thermocouples, resistance thermometers, etc.) are normally linked to electrical potentials equal or  
near to the ground potential. However, in some applications, there may be present a common mode voltage to earth.  
Check for voltage between input terminals and ground, as this voltage can be transmitted to other devices connected to  
the calibrator.  
11.2  
Faulty operating conditions  
During start up, measuring and simulation modes, faulty conditions of the instrument will be announced, with coded  
messages as follows:  
Indicates a possible loss of data on “AUTORAMP” program or  
on the manual memories.  
Error Checksum 1  
Error Checksum 2  
Error Checksum 3  
Error Checksum 4  
Error Checksum 5  
Error Checksum 6  
Error Checksum 7  
!!! ERROR 9 !!!  
Indicates a possible loss of data on “PROGRAM X”.  
Indicates a possible loss of data on “AUTORAMP”, “PROGRAM  
X” and/or on the manual memories.  
Indicates a possible loss of calibration data.  
Indicates  
a
possible loss of calibration data, and/or  
“AUTORAMP” data and/or on the manual memories  
Indicates a possible loss of calibration data, and/or “PROGRAM  
X”data.  
Indicates  
a
possible loss of calibration data, and/or  
“AUTORAMP” data, “Xscaling” and from the three manual  
memories  
Indicates a data writing on the EEPROM memory not verified.  
When the above error codes are indicated repeat the set-up of the application parameters and/or autoramp data and/or  
In-Out memories.  
Indicates “underflow” conditions  
- UNDER -  
Indicates “overflow” conditions  
+ OVER +  
Indicates an environment temperature (in correspondence with  
<IN/OUT> terminals) exceeding the stated limits  
ERROR 2  
Indicates that the load is exceeding the stated limits.  
When in mA “OUT” function, the external load must not exceed  
1000 .  
46  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
When in mV or Tc “OUT” function the current flow must not  
exceed 0.5 mA.  
ERROR 6  
ERROR 7  
Indicates a possible error during scale factor computation.  
The above indicated faulty conditions can be announced both during the autodiagnostic routine or in measure or  
simulation modes.  
If the faulty condition is critical for the type of application, it is recommended to re-run the pertinent set up procedure.  
11.3  
Protection fuses  
The CL526 unit, is protected against overvoltage and overcurrent inputs, by thermal fuses. When they activate, you  
should disconnect the electrical connections from the unit and switch the instrument off for about 2 minutes. The thermal  
fuses will be automatically restored and you can resume your work.  
11.4  
Storage  
If the instrument is left unused for a long time, it is recommended to remove the batteries.  
Store the instrument in the original package, at a temperature from -30°C to +60°C, with R.H. less than 90%.  
If the instrument has been unused for a month check the battery voltage, and charge the Ni-MH batteries for at least 12  
hours.
