EA015 Multi Function Workstation
The multi function workstation provides a central work area with all connections routed
conveniently to remote terminals mounted at the front of the adapter.
The adapter extends the capabilities of the calibrator to include :
2 / 10 / 50 TURN CLAMP COIL
INSULATION RESISTANCE OUTPUT
CONTINUITY RESISTANCE OUTPUT
INS. TEST VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
CONTINUITY CURRENT MEASUREMENT
OPTICAL TACHOMETER CALIBRATION
THERMOCOUPLE SIMULATION
VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT : 3 RANGES
CURRENT MEASUREMENT TO 30mA
CALIBRATOR OUTPUT ROUTING :
VOLTAGE, CURRENT AND HIGH CURRENT TO
DEDICATED WORKSTATION TERMINALS

Design Notes
Incorporating the advanced clamp coil, thermocouple
simulation and tachometer calibration adapters as well as
process control source / measure capabilities, this workstation
adapter provides a versatile platform for efficient calibration of a
wide range of equipment.
Selection of the specific functions on the workstation requires use of either the EA015
Workstation adapter virtual front panel software (supplied) or use of ProCal software
procedure wizards to create procedures with built in commands for setting up the adapter
functions.
NOTE : The supplied virtual front panel software or ProCal software (optional) must
be used to set output functions.
Clamp Meters
Using the built in 2, 10 and 50 turn coils, clamp meters can be accurately and quickly
calibrated. Using a high accuracy balanced design both wound (AC only) & Magnetic field
(hall effect) AC/DC clamp meters can be calibrated. Three coils in one provide the ability to
calibrate a wide range of coils, from small lower clamps down to 10mm jaw diameter to larger
2000A clamps.
Insulation Testers
Insulation tester calibration is a common requirement and is now easy to perform using the
workstation. Insulation to 2GOhms @ 1000V and continuity to 1kOhm is available from
dedicated terminals. Using the measurement capabilities of the adapter interface, the
workstation also provides insulation test voltage measurement to 1000V and continuity
current measurement.
Process Control Calibrators
Source/measure process control calibrators are commonplace in industry and previously
required several references to calibrate. The workstation integrates all the functions required
to both source and measure the required signals.

Digital Thermometers
Digital thermometers can be easily calibrated accurately using the workstation’s built in
thermocouple simulation output with automatic cold junction compensation.
NOTE : The EA015 Workstation adapter requires the use of thermocouple compensation
cables for connection between the adapter and the digital thermometer (UUT)
Optical Tachometers
Using a high intensity LED light source, optical tachometers can be calibrated quickly and
easily using the workstation.

Using the EA015 with the
Virtual Front Panel Software
The EA015 workstation adapter should be connected as shown above.
The main terminals from the calibrator should be connected to the corresponding
terminals on the side of the adapter.
The adapter interface on the calibrator should be connected to the adapter
interface on the EA015 Workstation adapter.
The 15V external power supply should also be connected to the power socket of
the EA015 workstation adapter.
Installing the Software
Insert the CD which is supplied with the EA015 workstation adapter – this should
autorun and install the software.
Once installed run the software by clicking START > ALL PROGRAMS > EA015
Workstation Adapter
Selecting a COM Port
On starting the virtual front panel for the first time, a COM port selection screen will
be displayed. Click on the COM port that is connected to your 3000 Series calibrator
to continue.
If you are using a laptop to connect to the calibrator, the COM port will usually
be COM 1. A desktop computer will usually be COM 2.

Operation of the Virtual Front Panel
Once the correct COM port is selected, the calibrator will be detected, and the main
screen displayed :
The main functions of the workstation are :
Thermocouple Simulation
Tachometer Calibration
Insulation Resistance & Voltage
Continuity Resistance & Current
mA & mV Measurement
Terminal Switching
Functions : Thermocouple Simulation
Connect temperature meter to thermocouple connector on workstation using
thermocouple compensating cables for the correct thermocouple type. Select
a thermocouple type from the drop down list. Set manual or automatic cold junction.
Enter a temperature in the box marked ENTER VALUE, then click SET. Note if the
temperature is outside the range available, a message will be displayed.
