JOFRA INSTRUMENT COMBINATIONS

JOFRACAL calibration software supports all JOFRA tem-
perature, pressure and signal calibrators equipped with an
RS232 interface, including JOFRA DTI reference thermom-
eters.
JOFRACAL calibration software may also be used for

Device maintenance to plan efficiently.
To ensure the best possible work flow and calibration,
JOFRACAL will split calibration devices into temperature
and pressure devices.
This is done to reflect the differences between
temperature and pressure calibrations. All these efforts
are made to keep the leading position of JOFRACAL as
a true temperature calibration software, and at the same
time implement the relevant functionality to pressure
calibration, to make JOFRACAL a true pressure calibration
software as well!

Easy documentation
After saving the certificate, it is possible to print directly

storage, and/or printing of certificates.
Calibrations are collected and stored as “Work orders” in
a file and downloaded to the calibrator from a personal
computer using a standard RS232 interface cable. The
ATC calibrator stores the calibration procedure and may
be carried out to the process site without bringing a PC.
This allows the ATC calibrator to:
• Operate as a stand-alone instrument, using advanced
calibration routines without the assistance of a PC on-
site.
• Prevent unauthorized changes to a calibration routine.
Personnel who are not authorized to alter a calibration
routine can be systematically prevented from doing so.
Once all calibrations are completed, the data may be
uploaded to the JOFRACAL software and saved as certifi-
cates. Calibration data collected on the PC may be viewed
or analyzed later.
Manual temperature calibration
Calibrations are not only limited to equipment with an
RS232 communication port. The JOFRACAL software
can be set up to accept manual entry of calibration data.
It is also possible to perform on-site calibrations with the
instruments and key in the data when returning to the
workshop. Just select ’’manual reading’’ in the scenario.

With one quick look at the screen, the user can check if
the calibration is running as expected. If anything should
be wrong, the calibration may be stopped. Corrections
and adjustments can be made and the calibration may be
restarted. This feature prevents waste of time and money
on flawed tests.

Fully automatic temperature calibration

To illustrate the flexibility of JOFRACAL, this scenario uses
a JOFRA DTI-1000 as reference instrument, a JOFRA ATC
as heat source, and a JOFRA ASM for the sensor-under-
test reading. A set-up like this enables calibration of up to
24 sensors simultaneously.
