Introduction
Congratulations for selecting the ultimate calibration tool!
MC5P is a panel mounted documenting All-In-One Multifunction
Calibrator with calibration capability of pressure, temperature, elec-
trical and frequency signals. As a member of Beamex’s QCAL Quality
Calibration family it is of course able to communicate with the avail-
able QCAL calibration software.
MC5P’s modularity allows customized construction. If requirements
increase in the future, new functionality may be added by getting
additional modules, e.g. adding temperature and/or electrical mod-
ules to an MC5P that previously only included pressure modules.
Thanks to the logical user interface MC5P is very easy to use. The
large backlit graphical display guides the user in different languages
and it displays results both numerically and graphically.
MC5P performs automatic calibration of pressure, electrical and
temperature process instruments. It is capable of communicating
with external devices such as pressure controllers. MC5P also com-
municates with HART field instruments.
MC5P represents the state of the art in accuracy, adaptability and
all-round usability.
About This Manual
This User Guide is divided in four parts: A, B, C and D.
• Part A discusses general matters. There is also a chapter about
safety.
• Part B describes the basic use of MC5P such as measuring
and generating signals.
• Part C handles configuration level usage, some optional soft-
ware utilities and also offers some additional information con-
cerning pressure measurement, RTD and T/C measurement/
simulation.
• Part D concentrates on calibration and matters related to cali-
bration like handling instrument data
The even page header displays the title of the active part. The odd
page header displays the main subject (Heading level 1).
The header of each odd page also
indicates the active part as shown
in the adjacent picture (with Part B
active). Use the information provided in the headers as a quick guide
when searching for a particular subject.
