OC505 is a Calibrator-Multimeter for generation of Currents 0-22mA Sink

or Source und Voltages to 25VDC. External voltages ±2V, ±20V and

±200VDC (firm ranges or auto ranging) and Currents to 0-100mA can be

measured simultaneously and shown at the display.

Further Functions contain generation of calibration mV Signals, Thermo voltages of DIN Thermocouples

and RTD Resistors and simulation of true resistors.

mV voltages of 0-27mV or 0-540mV are mainly used for calibration of Strain Gauges, Transmitters and

small signal inputs with resolution of up to 0.001mV.

Thermocouples J, K, N, R, S, T, B, E are simulated. The temperature is entered with the keyboard and

shown at the display. The cold junction is compensated to the ambient temperature. It can also be

switched-off.

RTD Thermometers can be simulated within the DIN temperature range. The temperature is entered with

the keyboard and shown at the display.

Ohm Source Resistance values up to 3kOhm are simulated. The resistance value is entered with the

keyboard and shown at the display.

Graphics and Memorising of measured signals is a standard function. The signals are continuously

stored and shown at the display as graphics. In apart of this eight memory slots for storing of fast signals

-Transients- are available. They can individually be stored and selectively recalled at the display.

Datalogger is an Option. The calibrating signals and the multimeter input are shown at the display and

stored as tables with date and time from internal RTC. They can be downloaded to the PC and edited

under Windows and Excel. A software program is available for Windows.

The Functions of the Calibrator and the Multimeter are selected with the keyboard and supported by a

microcontroller. The factory settings and the calibrated points are stored in a nopn-volatile memory and

remain stored also when the instrument is switched off. The software calibration of all ranges is

accessible in the calibration menu and protected with a password. All ranges can be recalibrated via the

keyboard if required.

The graphic display is divided into two windows. The upper window is shows the multimeter functions,

the lower window the calibrator. In programming mode the display shows the parameters. In graphics

mode of operation the display shows the stored input signals.

3.3 DATALOGGER (Software Option)

The generated signal and the measured signal are stored in a table format. The date and the time are

added. The stored data can be downloaded via the USB to a PC. A Soft Manager supports the data

transfer to a Windows PC.

Two Set Points LEVEL LOW and LEVEL HIGH and two Intervals INTERVAL 1 and INTERVAL 2 will be

selected. If the measured signal is between the both Set Points LEVEL LOW and LEVEL HIGH, the data

will be stored with INTERVAL 1. The INTERVAL 2 stores the date when the input signal is outside the

Set Points. The both Intervals can be selected from 2 sec. to 24 hours.

With the key LOGG is the function Datalogger active. The key MENU and the two cursor keys permit the

parameter selection. With OK the setting will be stored.

The Multimeter is always active and can be used independently from the calibrator. The ranges can be selected

with the keyboard. The current range is firm. The voltage ranges are firm 2V, 20V or 200VDC or can be set as

automatic range.

5 GRAPHICS

For fast diagnostics of external signals measured by the multimeter the graphics representation can be

displayed. Two modes of operation are available:

- GRAPHICS the running measurement is automatically stored in 128 points (FI-FO)

- TRANSIENTS Eight individual memory slots are assigned for fast signals –Transients.

The sampling time and the Trigger level are selectable.

The Memory module for the Graphics and the Transients are common. By recalling the Transients, the

Graphics will be erased.

5.1 GRAPHICS The key GRAPH opens the graphic presentation.

Graphics deactivated - GRAPH OFF. The graphics can be activated with vertical cursors - GRAPH ON.

The latest stored signal will be displayed when OK is pressed.

5.2 TRANSIENTS

Fast signals at the multimeter input can be stored. Eight individual memory slots TRANSIENT NO.1 …

TRANSIENT NO.8 are available. The sampling rate is 1ms. Each transient contains 256 Point and can

be time limited from 0.25 to 300 seconds. The Trigger level is programmable from <10% to >90%.

With the key MENU the Transients can be stored or recalled at the display. The selection is done with
