Palmer Wahl Announces New Calibrators



Asheville, NC - May 5, 2006 - Wahl Instruments, Inc announces their Brand New Line of Calibrators!

The Wahl C50 On-site Multifunction Calibrator was designed after closely collaborating with Industrial Users for the most desirable features. The ergonomically designed Wahl C50 calibrator features unique built in "easy connect" terminals, portable and bench top flexibility, and easy to use intuitive embedded software. It is fully protected with an external anti-shock rubber sheath with IP 54 rating, is multi-lingual with five languages, high performance with extreme accuracy and NIST traceability, and is compatible with HART transmitters.

The Wahl C50 Calibrator measures and generates on two isolated channels, voltage, current, frequency, resistance signals and also many types of resistive probes and thermocouples. The Wahl C50 dual display indicates simultaneously the measurement value, and emitted value, and the gauge and selected parameter functions. With the software, the User can save under the File Menu up to 10 working configurations of the instruments and recall them whenever needed. In measurement and simulation, the Scaling function performs a conversion between the electrical quantities measured and the physical quantities converted including % of Full Scale. Relative measurements can program a reference value different from the one of the instrument. The TARE function subtracts a constant value by measuring or programming it from a measured value. The Statistical functions always show the average, minimum, maximum and number of measurements completed. The Simulation Menu can set a value by entering value on keypad or by changing the appropriate digit with the cursor. The Ramps generation feature programs the starting, ending and length of time values of simple or cyclic ramps. The Steps simulation feature has two modes, program mode for starting value, number of steps and the length of time at each step. The manual mode the User has one hundred preset values. Other software functions include Square Root, Synthesizer and Transmitter functions.

Other features include an elastomer keypad that protects it from dirt and grease marks. Raised keys allow the Wahl C50 to be used with gloves. Alphanumeric keypad, navigator and function keys step you through programs easily. Adjustable contrast and programmable backlit display for ease of reading in all conditions. Adjustable resolution of values displays the level of accuracy needed. Extended battery life offers eight hours of demanding use. The Wahl C50 comes complete with six testing leads, a quick battery charging system, instruction manual on CD ROM, heavy duty carrying case, NIST Certification and a one year warranty.

The Wahl P32 Pocket Process Calibrator/Meter for Process Signals meets the needs of transmitters and process sensors that are becoming more and more accurate and reliable. Simple and robust, this instrument has been designed to simplify maintenance operations and installation of sensors and transmitters using process signals such as 4-20mA or 0-10V.

The Wahl P32 has a graphic interface that makes for easy programming and reading. It has accuracy of 0.015% of reading, and the resolution displayed is adjustable from a tenth to a thousandth of the value measured to provide the level of confidence you need. The Wahl P32 Emission function, can generate simple or cyclic ramps with adjustable high and low levels and rising and falling times and stabilization time. Thanks to the Scaling of measured and generated signals, a direct reading of sensors units simplifies the job. The Wahl P32 can also generate steps and fixed values in order to check span and linearity of transmitters, panel meters and recorders. The Statistical calculation of measurements includes maximum, minimum and average of the measured signal are always displayed as is the number of measurements. The Hold function allows user to freeze the display measurement. The Filter can be applied to minimize the least significant digit fluctuation. A starting delay function is programmable when ramps, steps or values are emitted to allow user to reach the control post in time. The Wahl P32 can measure current output of transmitters using Hart protocol. Designed for outdoor use, low temperature coefficients provide the accuracy needed in the worst ambient conditions. Also, includes Square Root and software upgrade opportunities.

Other features include an anti-shock rubber sheath and watertight IP 54 housing. Select one of five languages to operate your calibrator/meter. Adjustable contrast and programmable backlight display, it continuously displays date and time. The Wahl P32 comes complete with 2 measurement leads, 4-AA batteries with an up to 40 hours of useful life, protective carrying case, wrist strap, instruction manual on CD ROM, NIST certification and a one year warranty.
