 Product Description
A METEK continues to develop new techniques to improve the performance, accuracy, convenience,
and functionality of the popular Jofra calibration products. By doing so, we maintain our position as
the leading worldwide manufacturers of temperature dry-block calibrators.
Key Features

 Intelligent Reference Sensors

The new RTC calibrator comes in three different models—A, B, and C.
 RTC-A reference temperature calibrator.
Jofra reference sensors are supplied with intelligent plugs, holding the calibration data
(coefficients) of the reference sensor. This is a truly plug n’ play calibration system.
 RTC-B reference temperature calibrator with input for reference sensor, DLC sensor, and sensors-under-test.

 RTC-C reference temperature calibrator with input for reference sensor and DLC sensor.  USB Communication
All RTC calibrators communicate via an easy-to-use USB port.

 Time Saving
Super high-speed cooling.

 EURAMET
Best performing dry-block with regard to the EURAMET/cg-13v.01 guideline for the
testing of dry-blocks.
DLC–Dynamic Load Compensation
To bring our well documented active dual-zone technology to an even higher level, we have developed the patented DLC system, making it possible
DLC
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.

Slave
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 provides feedback to the active triple-zone sys-
tem, which compensates the temperature difference to a minimum inside the insert. In this way, the DLC function makes the homogeneity indepen-
dent of the different loads of the insert, making the RTC the best performing dry-block calibrator on the market when calibrated and tested accord-
Master
ing to the globally accepted EURAMET/cg-13v.01 guideline for calibration and testing of dryblocks.

The DLC system is comprised of a special differential temperature sensor designed especially for the RTC. The sensor is placed in the insert and con-
nected to the calibrator. When the DLC function is enabled, the calibrator will automatically equalize the temperature homogeneity inside the insert,
along with the normal temperature control and stabilization.
