CALYS 150: Introduction
CALYS 150 is a portable calibrator able to measure and to generate simultaneously on 2 isolated channels or to measure on
two channels.
It has a wide backlit display to be used in all lightning conditions.
Fully protected by the housing with a polycarbonate keypad to protect it from dirt. The raised keys ease use when wearing
protective gloves.
It is able to measure and generate voltage, current, frequency, resistance signals, resistive probes and thermocouples. Unit
also measures pressure when used with optional external pressure modules and can perform calibration automatically on
HART protocol transmitters.
It is able to drive some dry block and temperature bath for temperature sensor calibration.

 CALIBRATION
"easy connect®" System
This unique system is used by pushing on the terminal’s top and
inserting:
- Wires with a diameter up to 3 mm or 10AWG
- Compensated thermocouple connectors
and by releasing.
Wires are held tight between 2 brass plates which provide thermal
stability to create a very good cold junction compensation for
thermocouples.

This system allows 4mm banana plugs and also security connectors to
be connected on the front panel

Functions:
CALYS 150 allows the following physical values to be measured and simulated:

• Voltage
• Current
• Resistance
• Temperature by thermocouples, RTD and thermistors Résistance
• Pressure measurement when used with optional external pressure module (simulation
requires user supplied pressure pump)
• Frequency/counting from signal and dry contacts

It allows scaling of process signals and corrections to temperature probes.

It is compatible with HART transmitters by inserting a 250ohms resistance which digital data transfer
uninterrupted.
It stores data and can send them to PC for analysis.

HART Protocol:
CALYS 150 can work with HART Protocol instruments :
• Connection of 1 to 15 analogue sensors with 24V volts power supply
• Compatibility with Protocols « HART 5 » and « HART 6 ». Setting and configuration of these sensor
through the CALYS150
• Loop supply with insertion of 250Ω internal resistance.• "Verify " hart menu option: Verification of the
current loops and the detectors (manually or automatically). All the informations are stored into the
Verification report.
• Loop current and detectors can be adjusted from the calys 150
• HART Instrument status: Some informations about the behaviour of the instrument under test can be
displayed: overload loop, out of limit variable…

Calibration :

Sensor calibration :
Calibration coefficient can be implemented in order to correct sensors.CALYS 150 is able to issue calibration
reports.
Electronic devices calibration:
Calibration can be performed by comparison (2 probes and temperature generator driven) or using signal
generation. Two methods are available: manual or automatic, with uncertainty taken into account. Calibration
setpoints are entered by user.
Transmitter mode : The measured value is emitted as 4-20mA or voltage.Drives dry-blocks and baths…
Display
Calys 150 dual display continuously displays the measurement value, the
emitted value, the gauge and the used functions.
On the toplines date, time and external temperature are indicated.
During measuring average, maximum, minimum and the number of
measurements are displayed on the left. during emission this part of screen
displays all details of ramps, steps and constant value emission functions.
Drop-down menus are used with the navigator, and an on-line help is available
graphically display probe connections an wires
