General Overview
Introduction
The MCS100 System is a Modular Calibration System for calibra-
tion and maintenance of process instruments, like transmitters, con-
verters, temperature probes, recorders indicators, etc. The system
is designed for instrument/electrical workshops and laboratories.
The MCS100 comprises of a Desktop System or a Bench System.
The modular construction of the system allows the user to custom-
ize the MCS100 System to practically any measurement and cali-
bration application.
The modules in the MCS100 System can be grouped into four main
types:
1. Host modules (Calibrator modules) :
∗ MC5P Multifunction Calibrator module
∗ PC106P Pressure/Electrical Calibrator module
∗ TC305P Temperature/Electrical Calibrator module
2. Assisting modules, divided into:
∗ PO’s, i.e. Manual Pressure Output Modules,
∗ PS’s, i.e. Manual Pressure Supply Modules,
∗ PM’s, i.e. Pressure Measurement Modules and
∗ RTS24P Temperature/Resistance Simulator module
3. Power Supply modules (for the MCS100 Bench System)
4. POC4 Automatic Pressure Output module,
This manual includes a general presentation of the MCS100 Sys-
tem in part A.
Part B concentrates on the Power Supply modules for the MCS100
Bench system.
Part C concentrates on the Assisting modules (PO’s, PS’s, PM’s
and RTS24P)
The Host modules, and the Automatic Pressure Output modules
are covered in separate manuals.
Note
This manual includes a description of all the MCS100 Modular Cali-
bration Systems available, not only the system at hand.

General Overview
Service
A module that requires service or calibration must be carefully
packed and should be accompanied with a letter or note with the
following information:
User’s name
User’s address
Module name
Serial number
Description of the problem
If the module requires calibration, it must be stated in the enclosed
letter.

General
Safety
High voltage is dangerous. Getting into contact with high volt-
ages can result in serious injuries, even death.
The power cable plug shall only be inserted into a socket with
a protective earth contact in accordance with local electrical
rules. The protective action must not be negated by the use of
an extension cord without a protective conductor (grounding).
Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current and
for the specified type (normal blow, time delay etc.) are used
for replacement. The use of repaired fuses and the short cir-
cuiting of fuseholders must be avoided.
Capacitors in the power supply unit may still be charged even
if the power cable has been disconnected.
Sometimes it is necessary to carry out measurements inside
the module rack with the mains power on. Make these mea-
surements with extreme care and remove the power cable im-
mediately after the measurements are completed. The opera-
tion should be carried out by a skilled person who is aware of
the hazard involved.
In the occasion that a module is no longer operating safely, the
module must be taken out of use and precautions must be taken
against accidental use

Connections
The modules are connected to the earthed outputs inside the Main
Supply Module (ELP100E or ELP100T).
30
TL303, TL 3035 and TLL 303 Variable DC Supplies
Operation
Switch the power on in the Main Supply Module. Switch the power
supply on from the mains switch in the module. The indicator light
should switch on. Check that the adjusted voltage is at its minimum
with the help of the digital meter. If necessary, turn the voltage ad-
juster counterclockwise until the voltage is zero. Adjust the current
limit to a suitable level. Connect the load to the terminals. Adjust
the voltage to the required level.
Output current
The output current can be controlled with the lower potentiometer .
The output current is displayed on the lower digital meter. If the
output current is below the set value of the current adjuster, the
power supply is in constant voltage mode and follows the setting of
the voltage adjuster. When the output current reaches the set value
of the current adjuster, the power supply switches to constant cur-
rent mode and the current limitation LED is lit. In constant current
mode the voltage is lower than (or equal to) the set value of the
voltage adjuster, and the power supply follows the setting of the
current adjuster.
Note
The polarity of the power supplies have to be right during par-
allel and serial use.

power supply is in constant voltage mode and follows the setting of
the voltage adjuster. When the output current reaches the set value
of the current adjuster, the power supply switches to constant cur-
rent mode and the current limitation LED is lit. In constant current
mode the voltage is lower than (or equal to) the set value of the
voltage adjuster, and the power supply follows the setting of the
current adjuster.
You can check the set values for the current and voltage by press-
ing the Check Settings button.
Short circuit protection
The modules is short circuit protected. Even a long term short cir-
cuit cannot damage the power supply.
Parallel and serial use of the power supplies
The serial use of the power supplies gives a possibility to reach the
required voltage by adding together voltages of two or more power
supplies. The current limitations of all the power supplies should be
equal within 0.5 A.
In parallel use of two power supplies, one of the supplies can be set
in current mode at about half the wanted current value and voltage
set a little higher than the required level. Set the other power supply
in voltage mode at the required voltage and set the current limit a
little higher than on the other power supply.
Note
The polarity of the power supplies have to be right during par-
allel and serial use.

the check button and adjusting the current potentiometer. The cur-
rent limit is displayed on the digital current meter as long as the
check button is pressed. Normally, the digital current meter dis-
plays the output current.
If the output current is below the set value of the current adjuster,
the power supply is in constant voltage mode and follows the set-
ting of the voltage adjuster. When the output current reaches the
set value of the current adjuster, the power supply switches to con-
stant current mode and the current limitation LED is lit. In constant
current mode the voltage is lower than (or equal to) the set value of
the voltage adjuster, and the power supply follows the setting of the
current adjuster.

ACP40 Isolated Variable AC Supply
Setting Description
Ilim Current limit.
Adjustable from 0.1 A … 4.1 A to OFF. OFF
allows a momentary maximum current of 6 A. The
maximum continuous current is 4 A
OVP Over Voltage Protection
Adjustable from 1V to 250V.
Mode Select between U-stabil or Static mode.
In U-stabil mode the voltage supply will keep the
output voltage as stable as possible although the
supply voltage or the load is varying.
In Static mode the output voltage will be “locked”
and the device will not automatically try to adjust
the output voltage to the selected value. This
means that the voltage will vary if the supply
voltage changes. The output voltage will also drop
if the load is increased (due to the module’s
internal impedance).
OC time Time before the module is shut down in case of a
short circuit or over current.
The value is adjustable from 0 to 400 seconds.
Note.
ACP40 is shipped with a PC software accessory for communicating
with ACP40. Available commands:
- I/O: Select the COM port to be used by
the computer.
- Lock ACP40: Locks the wheel on ACP40
- Unlock ACP40: Unlocks the wheel
Note that after locking the wheel, the PC
software is needed for unlocking the
wheel.
- Limits: Makes it possible to change the
maximum voltage and current limit.
- OVP: Over Voltage Protection.
- Device ID: Device type and firmware version.

Assisting Modules
General
This part includes the description of the following MCS100 Mod-
ules:
* Pressure supply module PS7,
* pressure output modules (POs),
* pressure measurement modules (PMs) and
* Temperature/Resistance Simulator Module RTS24P.
These modules have a common name: Assisting Modules. That
is because they are usually supporting the host module MC5P. As-
sisting Modules are seldom used alone although some of them may
be used as stand-alone modules too.
Please note that this manual decribes all the above mentioned As-
sisting Modules. Not all of the modules are necessarily included in
your MCS100 System.
