Before You Start Introduction 1 Before You Start 1.1 Introduction Field Metrology Wells (9142, 9143, and 9144) are designed to be reliable, stable heat sources that can be used in the field or laboratory. They offer accuracy, portability, and speed for nearly every field calibration application. The instruments have been designed with the field user in mind and are easy to use while maintaining stability, uniformity, and accuracy comparable to some laboratory instruments.
914X Field Metrology Wells Unpacking sensors and devices. Before use, the user should be familiar with the warnings, cautions, and operating procedures of the calibrator as described in the User’s Guide. 1.2 Unpacking Unpack the instrument carefully and inspect it for any damage that may have occurred during shipment. If there is shipping damage, notify the carrier immediately.

914X Field Metrology Wells Safety Information Symbol Description Electric Shock Fuse PE Ground Hot Surface (Burn Hazard) Read the User’s Guide (Important Information) Off On Canadian Standards Association C-TICK Australian EMC mark The European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive (2002/96/ EC) mark. 1.4 Safety Information Field Metrology Wells are designed in accordance with IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-2-010 and CAN/CSA 22.2 No 61010.1-04.
Before You Start Safety Information 1.4.1 Warnings To avoid personal injury, follow these guidelines. GENERAL DO NOT use this instrument in environments other than those listed in the User’s Guide. Inspect the instrument for damage before each use. Inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic. DO NOT use the instrument if it appears damaged or operates abnormally. Follow all safety guidelines listed in the User’s Guide. Calibration equipment should only be used by trained personnel.
914X Field Metrology Wells Safety Information Never touch the probes to a voltage source when the test leads are plugged into the current terminals. Select the proper function and range for each measurement. Disconnect the test leads before changing to another measure or source function. DO NOT operate the Field Metrology Well around explosive gas, vapor, or dust. DO NOT operate instrument at orientations other than upright.
Before You Start Safety Information If supplied with user accessible fuses, always replace the fuse with one of the same rating, voltage, and type. Always replace the power cord with an approved cord of the correct rating and type. HIGH VOLTAGE is used in the operation of this equipment. SEVERE INJURY or DEATH may result if personnel fail to observe safety precautions. Before working inside the equipment, turn power off and disconnect power cord.
914X Field Metrology Wells CE Comments DO NOT allow the probe sheath or inserts to drop into the well. This type of action can cause a shock to the sensor and affect the calibration. The instrument and any thermometer probes used with it are sensitive instruments that can be easily damaged. Always handle these devices with care. DO NOT allow them to be dropped, struck, stressed, or overheated. DO NOT operate this instrument in an excessively wet, oily, dusty, or dirty environment.
Before You Start Authorized Service Centers we recommend that the clamp-on ferrites provided be used on the cables of probes attached to the readout, especially if the product is used near sources of EM interference such as heavy industrial equipment. To attach a ferrite to a probe cable, make a loop in the cable near the connector and clamp the ferrite around half of the loop as shown in the diagram. The ferrite can be easily snapped open and moved to a new probe when needed.

Quick Start Setup 3 Quick Start 3.1 Setup Note: The instrument will not heat, cool, or control until the “SET PT.” parameter is “Enabled”. Place the calibrator on a flat surface with at least 6 inches of free space around the instrument. Overhead clearance is required. DO NOT place under a cabinet or structure. Plug the instrument power cord into a mains outlet of the proper voltage, frequency, and current capability (see Section 2.1 Specifications on page 13 for power details).
914X Field Metrology Wells Parts and Controls Figure 2 914X Field Metrology Well 3.2 Parts and Controls This section describes the exterior features of the Field Metrology Well. All interface and power connections are found on the front of the instrument (see Figure 2).
Quick Start Parts and Controls 3.2.1 Display Panel Figure 3 on next page shows the layout of the display panel. Display (1) The display is a 240 x 160 pixel monochrome graphics LCD device with a bright LED backlight. The display is used to show current control temperature, measurements, status information, operating parameters, and soft key functions. udlr Arrow Keys (2) The Arrow Keys allow you to move the cursor on the display, change the display layout, and adjust the contrast of the display.
914X Field Metrology Wells Parts and Controls Block Temperature Indicator (10) [Patent Pending] The Block Temperature Indicator lamp allows users to know when the block temperature is safe (50°C to 60°C) to remove inserts or move the Field Metrology Well. The indicator light is lit continuously once the block has exceeded approximately 50°C (varies 50°C to 60°C). The indicator light stays lit until the block cools to less than approximately 50°C.
Quick Start Parts and Controls Stability Status (4) On the right hand side of the screen, you will find a graph displaying the current status of the stability of the Field Metrology Well. Heating/Cooling Status (5) Just below the stability graph there is a bar graph that will indicate HEATING, COOLING, or CUTOUT. This status graph indicates the current level of heating or cooling if the instrument is not in cutout mode.
914X Field Metrology Wells Parts and Controls 3.2.3 Power Panel The following are found on the lower front panel of the instrument (see Figures 5 and Figure 6 on opposite page). Power Cord Plug (1) The power supply cord attaches to the lower front power panel. Plug the cord into an AC mains supply appropriate for the voltage range as specified in the specifications tables.

Quick Start Parts and Controls Probe Connector 1 2 6 5 3 4 Shield RTD Sensor Figure 8 Probe connector wiring A two-wire probe can also be used with the reference thermometer. It is connected by attaching one wire to both pins 1 and 2 of the plug and the other wire to both pins 4 and 5. If a shield wire is present, it should be connected to pin 3. Accuracy may be significantly degraded using a two-wire connection because of lead resistance.

Maintenance Field Metrology Well Performance Analysis 5 Maintenance The Field Metrology Well has been designed with the utmost care. Ease of operation and simplicity of maintenance have been a central theme in the product development. With proper care, the instrument should require very little maintenance. Avoid operating the instrument in an oily, wet, dirty, or dusty environment. Operating the instrument in a draft-free environment facilitates improved performance of the instrument.
914X Field Metrology Wells Field Metrology Well Performance Analysis Accuracy Drift The display temperature of the instrument will drift over time. This is due to a variety of factors affecting the temperature control PRT. Any PRT is subject to changes depending on how it is used and the environment it is used in. This is no different for any PRT in a calibration application. In addition, manufacturing variables in the sensing element itself can result in greater or lesser impact from use and environment.
