A. G ENERAL
A.1 Introduction
The UC TC is a portable thermocouple temperature calibrator (compliant with EC standards). It is especially
designed for calibration and maintenance. It makes it possible to measure and to emit electrical measurements and
to simulate temperatures both on site as well as in a laboratory. It performs voltage and temperature measuring and
emission functions (continuous or LF ramps).
The UC TC features a large number of related functions which extend its range of application, including:
•Generation of default values, increases, single or cyclic ramps.
•Storage of acquisitions and display in the form of tables or trend curves.
•Use of calibrated sensors with their coefficients of correction
A range of improvements facilitates its operation:
•Rapid access to all functions.
•Intuitive user interface.
•160x160 graphic display
•Connection via 4 mm safety plugs or a miniature flat plug.
•Power supply via 4 AA batteries or rechargeable batteries with internal charger (Option).
The device is fitted in an elastomer-sheathed ABS case.

A.3.3 Worn devices
Worn electrical devices can pollute the environment. We recommend you refrain from disposing of this device in
an ordinary waste bin, but rather that you use the recycling circuits available locally. If not, you can return the
device to us, and we will take care of its disposal free of charge.
A.3.3.1 Waste generated by the device
List of waste classified according to the decree published in the Official French Gazette dated 20
th
April 2002.
Decree no. 2002-540.
•16.02.14: Waste originating from electronic equipment:
Printed circuit boards making up the device.
•16.06.02: Batteries and storage battery (dangerous)
Alkaline Batteries (or NI-MH batteries).
•15.01.02: Packaging
ABS plastic device casing.
Elastomer conduit.
A.3.4 Device destruction procedure
Opening the device: unscrew the screw on the battery compartment, followed by the 5 screws securing the 2 shells.
Separate the 2 shells. Separate the PCB from the upper shell.
With regard to the batteries, you will find them in the battery compartment (see commissioning chapter).
In the case of the pack of batteries, there are 2 contaminants: NI-MH (Nickel-Metal Hybride) batteries and a PCB.
Separate these 2 items.
A.3.5 Instructions
The device was designed to operate safely if the instructions provided in the accompanying documents are
followed. Any other use may jeopardise the safety of the operator. Any use other than those specified in the
instructions is therefore dangerous and forbidden.

Tel: [phone], Fax: [phone], email: [email protected], web: www.SIKA.net
A.3.6 Making measurements
The measuring leads and wires must be in good condition and must be replaced if their insulation appears faulty
(insulating material cut, burned, etc...).
Never exceed the protection value limits indicated in the specifications.
Before changing function, disconnect the measuring wires from the external circuit. When voltage measurements
are being made, even weak ones, keep in mind that the circuits may feature a dangerous voltage for the operator
compared to the ground.
Do not make any measurements when the device is linked up to another device using the USB link or when the
batteries are being charged.
A.3.7 Defects and abnormal stresses
Every time you believe the protection may have been compromised, switch off the device and prevent it from being
switched back on unexpectedly.
The protection may be impaired in the following cases, for example:
The device is visibly worn.
The device is no longer able to make precise measurements.
The device was stored in unfavourable conditions.
The device has undergone severe stresses during transport.
A.3.8 Definitions
A.3.8.1 Definition of the category and degree of pollution
CAT II 60V:
This notion of categories determines the maximum voltage which can be applied to the measuring inputs (it is also
referred to as the overvoltage category). For the UC TC, the ceiling overvoltage is (DC or AC)
POL 2:
The notion of pollution determines the clearance between circuits. Degree 2 authorises temporary conductivity
caused by condensation.

A.4 Maintenance
The device must always be repositioned in accordance with the instructions provided herein. Any incomplete or
incorrect assembly could compromise the safety of the operator.
The authority responsible must regularly ensure that all safety-related items are not worn and ensure all the
preventive maintenance operations required are performed.
Before opening the device for any maintenance operations, you must make sure that all the wires are disconnected
from the appliance.
All adjustments, maintenance and repair work on the open device must be avoided as much as possible and, when
these are indispensable, they must be performed by qualified staff, who are well aware of the risks involved.

B. U SING THE INSTRUMENT
In order to use the device in all the safety required, all operators must read the paragraph on safety carefully, along
with the paragraph below.
B.1 Power-up
The device is delivered with 4 AA batteries of 1.5V each. It is wise to place these batteries in the compartment
provided for this purpose. To open up the compartment, unscrew the screw on the back of the box. Once the
batteries are in place, screw the cover back on.
Observe the polarity: an incorrect battery positioning could damage the device. The correct polarity is indicated
inside the compartment.
The figure below illustrates how to open the battery compartment as well as the correct positioning of each battery.
B.1.1 The keyboard
The keyboard features:
•2 function keys (F1 and F2) for the selection of the various menus displayed on the screen.
•The navigator, consisting of 4 arrows (up (↑
↑↑

•A clear key (CLEAR).
•A device on/off and backlighting on/off key (ON/OFF).
Press briefly to start the device. During operation, press briefly to turn the lighting on or off. Press it longer
for 2 seconds to stop the device.
•A validation key (VAL).
•A HOLD key allows you to suspend a process temporarily (when pressed briefly). If you press it longer,
this key makes it possible to switch from measuring mode to emission mode and vice-versa.

Notes:
Following a significant thermal shock, it is advisable to allow the device to stabilise its temperature to use the
internal reference junction (CSF) with the utmost precision.

D. R ELATED F UNCTIONS
D.1 Scaling
The scale correction function performs conversion operations between the electrical values measured and the
physical values converted.
This linearisation operation makes it possible to correct partially the errors induced by non-linear sensor/converter
systems.
The Scaling function makes it possible to define up to 10 right-segments, i.e. 11 points, in order to approach as
much as possible the non-linear response curve, and to make the scale corrections according to each segment.
The pictogram is displayed on the screen in the active window when the scaling function is enabled.
The Define/list of points menu makes it possible to program up to
10 lines of 2 values
X and Y= f(X).
In measurement mode: X = Value measured
Y = Value displayed
In emission mode: X = Value displayed
Y = Value emitted.
The lines entered are sorted according to the X in increasing order, to scale an X-value, the device seeks the 2 lines
n and m=n+1 which frame it, and extrapolates linearly:
Y = Yn + (X-Xn) x (Ym-Yn)/(Xm-Xn)
Use the function keys to edit the points:
To add a line: enter X and Y, then enable the function key.
To select a line in a list, use the Up and Down navigation keys.
To delete a selected line, use the key.
To move from one field to the next, use the key.
