CALYS 100: Introduction
CALYS 100 is a portable calibrator able to measure and to generate simultaneously on 2 isolated channels.
It has a wide backlit display to be used in all lightning conditions.
Fully protected by the sheath with a polycarbonate keypad to protect it from dirt. The raised keys ease use
when wearing protective gloves.
It is able to measure and generate voltage, current, frequency, resistance signals, resistive probes and
thermocouples. Unit also measures pressure when used with optional external pressure modules.

 CALIBRATION
"easy connect®" System
This unique system is used by pushing on the
terminal’s top and inserting:
- Wires with a diameter up to 3 mm or 10AWG
- Compensated thermocouple connectors,
and by releasing.
Wires are held tight between 2 brass plates which
provide thermal stability to create a very good cold
junction compensation for thermocouples.

This system allows 4mm banana plugs and also

security connectors to be connected on the front
panel.

Display resolution:
CALYS 100 has user adjustable resolution to allow measurement to meet specific testing requirements.

Functions:
Calys 100 allows the following physical values to be measured and simulated:

• Voltage
• Current
• Resistance
• Temperature by resistive probes and thermocouples
• Pressure measurement when used with optional external pressure module
(simulation requires user supplied pressure pump)
It allows scaling of process signals and corrections to temperature probes.

It is compatible with HART transmitters by inserting a 250ohms resistance which digital data transfer
uninterrupted

Display

Calys 100 dual display continuously displays the

measurement value, the emitted value, the gauge
and the used functions.
On the toplines date, time and external temperature
are indicated.
During measuring average, maximum, minimum
and the number of measurements are displayed on
the left. during emission this part of screen displays
all details of ramps, steps and constant value
emission functions.
Drop-down menus are used with the navigator, and
an on-line help is available graphically display
