Electrical Test Equipment Calibrators
There are various types of testers that check a wide range of electrical parameters.
Models can be either single-function devices or comprehensive multifunction
units. A combination of calibration equipment is often needed to test and verify
different types and functions.
The 5068 and 5069 models are primarily resistance units for use in calibrating
insulation testers. The 5070 is designed for 4-wire calibration of micro-ohmmeters
and the 5080 for portable appliance testers.
The 5030 is a multifunction calibrator for RCD, loop, insulation, earth testers and
multifunction installation testers. It is typically utilised in the calibration laboratory,
with automated testing using EasyCal software.

allow accurate test voltages up to 1 kV to be measured whilst under 0.5 mA or 1 mA test conditions.
Continuity and earth resistance: The 5030 precision low ohm resistors allow calibration of
continuity functions found on most multifunction testers and insulation testers. Applied test
voltages and currents are also measured.
Mains voltage and frequency: The local mains supply voltage and frequency is precisely
measured by the 5030. This is used to cross reference the voltage reading on the unit under test
and confirm the instruments accuracy.

boxes, insulation testers, and more can be used for creating any
new procedures as required.
Test Wizards
EasyCal features intuitive wizards for calibrating typical process
devices such as transmitters, sensors, and pressure gauges. They
provide users with a fast method to create procedures.
Basic criteria about a device is entered, then the wizard creates
a set of tests based on this information.
Procedure Simulation
The Calibration Run Simulator enables a procedure to be tested
without the need for a controlling instrument. To further assist with
development of procedures a test can also be edited during the
actual calibration run.
Format Certificates
Colour code and add borders to test group titles. Add column
headers where a change of layout is required. A preview feature
allows the user to check the certificate layout to determine
if formatting is correct.
Conversion Tables
Conversion tables for thermocouples, RTDs, current transformers,
and clamp meter adaptors are included. Alternatively user-defined
tables can be created.
Remote Commands
For more complex instrument control, commands can be sent on
a test-by-test basis or run as a script. Closed loop calibration is
also achievable using the universal readback feature. This allows
EasyCal to control third party calibration equipment and
communicate with devices under test.

EasyCal Calibration Software
Overview of applications and features
Search
Selection of the device under test is quick and easy. With the use
of a barcode scanner this selection becomes automatic.
Calibration Prompts
Text and graphical prompts aid the user with instrument range
selection and connection. So even the most complex calibrations
can be performed with relative ease.
Test Control
At any stage during the calibration run a summary can be displayed,
this includes both completed and remaining tests. Colour coding
indicates tests passed or failed. The operator is able to move
forward or backward through the procedure as required.
Recovery Mode
If for any reason a calibration run is interrupted, EasyCal’s
recovery mode feature allows the user resume the test run from
the point of termination.
Certificates/Reports/Data Management
Produce, print, and store calibration certificates, reports, and
labels. Simple search facilities enable the user to locate any data
on demand. Keeping track of instrument history and servicing
is made easy.
Certificate Templates
A range of pre-formatted templates are available for immediate
use. A company logo can be added without the need for
3rd party software.
Electronic Signatures
Password protected electronic signatures allow management to
approve certificates. In addition a scanned image of the signature
can automatically be inserted, eliminating the need to print certificates.
Calibration Reports
Documented traceability provides a recorded audit trail. Reports
showing calibration duration times can assist with costing and
assessments.
Archive
The results database can be streamlined by using the archive
feature. This improves data organisation and management.
Archives are quickly retrieved, giving instant access to historical
certificate data.
Customise
Crystal Reports (optional) allows full modification of certificate,
label, and report layouts. Design custom reports using queries,
formulas, and running totals.
Add-Ons
EasyAdmin: An optional add-on that enables advanced security
for EasyCal via user rights and access levels. It provides a central
administration point for calibration instruments, certificate
information and user fields.

Lab & Workshop Design and Supply
Following this we take the workspace dimensions and the virtual design stage
begins. Using custom software we create a detailed overview of the laboratory
or workshop. This includes the necessary calibration equipment, work
benches, storage units, and extras. We then generate 3D images and videos
to allow the end users to visualise the concept and experience their new
working environment.
Each facility we design has a core focus on optimising the calibration process.
This is accomplished by a dual approach using hardware and software.
CalBench modules and accompanying test instruments provide the functions
to perform calibration, whilst EasyCal software is the controlling platform for all
work and management.
