Hathaway's
BetaFLEX portable documenting calibrator uses plug-in I/O modules that
give it the industry's most extensive calibration capabilities. It can
calibrate just about any type of process instrument a field technician
is likely to encounter.
Exclusively, through an
optional BetaSmart enhancement and use of a Honeywell SCT 3000 PCMCIA card,
BetaFLEX can even automatically calibrate, document, and configure Honeywell
digitally enhanced (DE) protocol Smartline transmitters (specifically,
ST 3000 Smart Pressure, STT 3000 Smart Temperature, and SMV 3000 Smart
Multivariable models). In addition to automated operations, it can manually
read and write data, perform routine calibrations, and make operating adjustments
to the Honeywell transmitters, all functions that previously required a
dedicated handheld configurator/communicator or portable computer.
The BetaSmart option allows
the user to adjust the transmitter zero, span, URV, LRV, and curve type
(where applicable), to test the internal ND and DIA converters, and to
read and/or write data on the transmitter's scratch pad data area. The
transmitter's diagnostic status can also be determined and acted upon. |
|
For automated calibration operations,
BetaFLEX is fully compatible with Hathaway's MasterCAL Calibration System
Software and Honeywell's DocuMint documenting software. Other third party
software may be available as well.
BetaFLEX works with all
of Hathaway's BetaPort calibration modules. BetaPort-P pressure range modules
have industry standard ±0.025% accuracy and can measure gauge, vacuum,
absolute, and differential pressure (23 ranges are available from 5 psi/330
mBar up to 10,000 psi/670 Bar full scale). Other modules include the BetaPort-D2
dc current and voltage module, the BetaPort-R multicurve RJD and resistance
module, the BetaPort-T multicurve thermocouple module, and the BetaPort-F
frequency module. Modules include both measurement and simulation functions
and are autoranging.
Users of Hathaway's BetaGauge
II
digital pressure gauge, which also employs BetaPort pressure and dc current/voltage
calibration modules, can have their units upgraded with BetaFLEX and BetaSmart
capabilities at Hathaway's Carrollton, TX manufacturing facility. |

BetaPort-T Multicurve
Thermocouple Module
Description: Measurement
and sourcing of common thermocouple signals. In output mode, module will
have a minimum drive capacity of 8 mA. In measurement mode, unit will detect
and indicate an open (burnout) condition.
Accuracy: Based on
a dc measurement and simulation range accuracy of ±0.01 % of the
millivolt range of any curve with a minimum span of 10 mV, and a cold junction
measurement accuracy of +0.1°C within the ambient temperature range
of 10 to 40°C. Outside that range, the effect of ambient temperature
change on cold junction temperature measurement will be less than 0.005%
per °C |
