Specifications and Models
The RTC-700 series dry-block calibrators operate within a temperature range of 33 to 700°C (91 to 1292°F). Three models are available: Model A (basic), Model B (full with DLC sensor input), and Model C (middle with DLC sensor input). Each model includes features such as dual-zone heating/cooling, Mains Variance Immunity, stability indicator, automatic step function, USB communication, and a display resolution of 0.001°.
Standard Delivery and Accessories
All models come with a dry-block calibrator, mains power cable, accredited temperature performance certificate, insertion tube tool, JOFRACAL software, USB cable, and a manual. Model B includes additional test cables and input performance certificates. Accessories available include extra sensor grips, mini-jack connectors, and various thermocouple male plugs.
Options
Optional accessories include a carrying case with a trolley for sensor storage and protection, and a support rod set for mounting sensors during calibration. The document also lists various insert types and sizes for different calibration needs.
Functional Comparison
All models share core functionalities, but Model B and C offer additional features like external precision reference sensor input, load compensation, and input for RTD, TC, V, mA. Model B uniquely supports 4-20 mA transmitter input and automatic switch tests.
Ordering Information
The document provides a sample order number format and details on selecting base model numbers, power supply options, model versions, insert types, and calibration certificates. It emphasizes the importance of specifying the correct options for tailored calibration solutions.
Contact Information
Contact details for AMETEK offices in the USA, India, Singapore, China, the UK, France, Germany, and Denmark are provided for customer support and inquiries.

DLC–Dynamic Load Compensation DLC To bring our well documented active dual-zone technology to an even higher level, we have developed the patented DLC system, making it possible to perform top calibration specifications without being affected by the actual load, e.g. many sensors or very big sensors. The RTC-700 adds active triple-zone temperature control. The DLC sensor improves the homogeneity even more, by controlling it not only the well, but inside the insert where the sensors-under-test are placed during calibration. The DLC sensor measures the temperature homogeneity in the insert and...
