IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS:
- The fuse (code 01.02.0277-21) that protects the current circuit is a
special component. Therefore, only replace it with another original at
in order not to impair the accuracy of the ISOCAL MCS-XV.
- When not in daily use, respect the minimum warm-up time of one hour.
- In case of calibrator failure, contact Technical Assistance.
Dear user,

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. General Description
The MCS-XV calibrator allows the measurement and generation of signals used in instrumentation and process
control. It is designed to offer the necessary resources to facilitate the work of keeping the process instruments adjusted and
calibrated. It has elevated levels of accuracy, including aspects related to changes in room temperature and maintenance of
specifications over prolonged periods.
Its Portable version considers the use in the field, thus includes items of great value such as: bag with shoulder
straps allowing freedom for hands, display of 5.7" with led backlight facilitating visibility in environments with low lighting,
rechargeable battery, and large memory capacity to store the values obtained allowing the transfer of these to the computer,
when necessary. In addition to these, several constructive factors can be mentioned that add quality and efficiency to the
MCS-XV, including foresee its use not only in the field but also in the bench (RM Version - Rack Mounting, DT Version -
Desktop).
Incorporates the newest concepts of union of adjustments and calibrations with Information Technology, where data
is shared by both the instrument and the computer, giving efficiency to the processing of information, in the form of reporting
and certificates, the automated management of tasks and the organization and archiving of data, that is, covers a whole
context aimed at compliance with quality procedures, mainly related to ISO-9000 standard. It also has HART® communication
(optional) for reading and configuring parameters of field devices which have this protocol.
Can be supplied with up to four pressure outlets. Thus, in a single calibrator, it is possible to use different pressure
ranges, for example: vacuum, 0 to 100 psi, 0 to 1000 psi and 0 to 3000 psi or any other combination of available de ranges.
It can also be purchased with a certain number of pressure sensors, which may be later increased. To add pressure sensors
beyond those available in the calibrator, there is the possibility of acquiring an external pressure module (MPYA) that
communicates with the MCS-XV via USB port.
Another option is a high-accuracy sensor that, among its numerous functions, can function as standard thermometer.
Thus, while indicating the reference temperature, it allows the calibration of another temperature sensor.

(*) Gauge pressure, absolute (from range 3 to 8), vacuum (only for range 3), compound (from range 3 to 8) and differential (from range 0 to 2).
(**) FS = Full Scale
The differential sensor occupies two pressure outlets.
Note: Optional BR (Barometric Reference – 1barA)
Sensor for ambient pressure measurement. Can be used for simulated indication of absolute pressure in other sensors.
Accuracy of ± 0.02 % FS (1 bar).

Pressure accuracy values are valid within one year and temperature range of 20 to 26 °C. Outside these limits
add 0.005 % FS/ C taking 23 °C as the reference temperature. These values are obtained through algorithms of
temperature compensation on pressure measurements.
Probe
Probe is a high accuracy 4-wire Pt100 available under ordering. The calibrator input accepts Callendar-Van
Dusen and ITS-90 curve correction coefficients
MPYA Pressure Module
Optional independent pressure measurement module. The MPYA
communicates with the MCS-XV which performs pressure indication. See
MPYA specifications on the Presys website.
