2 User Manual - Beamex®MCS200 Calibration Workstation, Assembly Instructions –Part 1, Introduction
GENERAL
Thank you for buying Beamex MCS200 Calibration Workstation
The MCS200 System is a Modular Calibration Workstation for calibration and
maintenance of process instruments, like transmitters, converters, temperature
probes, recorders, indicators, etc. The system is designed for instru-
ment/electrical workshops and laboratories.
MCS200 consists of a Bench System. The modular construction of the system
allows the user to customize the MCS200 System to practically any measure-
ment and calibration application.
The modules in the MCS200 System can be grouped into four main types:
1. Host modules (Calibrator modules):
MC6 Workstation Calibration Host Module.
2. Supporting modules, divided into:
P’s, i.e. Pressure Measurement Modules,
PS’s, i.e. Manual Pressure Supply Modules,
PO’s, i.e. Manual Pressure Output Modules and
RTS24P Temperature/Resistance Simulator module
3. Power Supply modules (e.g. SU1, for MCS200 Bench System)
4. POC6 Automatic Pressure Controller module
MCS200 Supporting Modules, MC6 Workstation calibration host module, POC6
Automatic Pressure Controller, Power supplies, Measuring instruments and
other modules are covered in separate manuals.
Attention!
Before taking MCS200 into use, please read the warnings
available in Appendix.
Note.
In addition to modules, MCS200 Workstation may include aux-
iliary components such as:
With MC6 Workstation
- An isolated USB Hub including its power supply.
- A non-isolated USB Hub.
With pressure related modules (PS's, PO's and POC6's).
- One or more pressure reducing valves.

rack or in the base unit at the factory. Installation of additional modules that are
purchased later on is described in Part A, Appendix.
If you have to return a module or another part of the MCS200 System to the
factory for any reason, include a detailed description of the reason for the re-
turn. Read also chapter Service in Part A, Appendix.

CORNER UNIT
The Corner Unit differs from a Standard/Extension Workstation only by its spe-
cial look. A Standard Workstation and an Extension Workstation in a 90 degree
angle may be combined with the help of the Corner Unit.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE CORNER UNIT
If you have both Standard/Extension Workstations and Corner Units, assemble
the Corner Unit first where convenient. Then place it where you want it to be
located and assemble the Standard/Extension Workstation(s) around the Cor-
ner Unit.
