THE CALIBRATOR
The Tecal Calibrator is designed to provide safe and convenient calibration
of a wide range of thermal sensors. It features fast heat up times, with
accuracy and repeatability.
Applications
Before using the Tecal, make sure you have read this manual carefully.
If you have any queries, contact your supplier.
The Tecal unit can calibrate temperature probes without the need to return
them to a specialist laboratory. To ensure accuracy the unit must be
operated in an environment with a stable ambient temperature.
The thermal sensors are placed in a well in the temperature controlled block.
A number of inserts with different dimension wells are available to match
standard probe sizes: these are detailed towards the back of this manual.
Maintaining a set temperature
The required temperature is set on the calibrator and the operation of the
probe is checked.
A NAMAS certificate can be provided, contact your dealer for details.
Warning
HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE DANGEROUS: they can cause serious burns
to operators and ignite combustible material.
Techne have taken great care in the design of these units to protect
operators from hazards, but operators should pay attention to the following

At all times USE COMMON SENSE.
