At 1.8kg, the new Jofra ETC lightweight calibrator from Hawco brings a new meaning to field portability.
Designed for the testing and verification of temperature sensing devices, the ETC offers the instrumentation engineer a rugged toolbox sized instrument matching the specifications of much more expensive equivalents.
With an accuracy of +/-0.5C to +/-0.09C over a temperature range of -10C to 125C or, +28C to 400C, depending on the model chosen, the ETC series is designed for use when time is the major factor and the highest accuracy is not so critical.
A heat up and stabilisation time of only three minutes enables a dual point test routine to be completed in under ten minutes.
The ETC incorporates the standard Jofra RS232 communication interface and Amecal-Light calibration software, which come installed, ready to use.
The heating block incorporates a novel design where the pre-drilled insertion holes for the temperature devices on test are located around a highly efficient element.
Unlike other calibrators there is no removable insert tube so reducing bulk and speeding heat up time.
There are two models in the series; the ETC 400A designed for optimum speed and stability and the ETC125A, which at an entry-level price is a simple and effective temperature checker, also suitable for below ambient temperatures such as air conditioning.
The easy to use controls incorporate one-key, one-function, so providing fast operation and doing away with the need for complicated menus.
For the first time high accuracy temperature verification comes at the price of a good quality multimeter.
