The Electrical and Temperature Module (E T M o d u le )
(ET module). R e fe re n c e
J u n c tio n M o d u le
The Reference Junction Module (R J M o d u le )
(RJ module).
In addition to the modules mentioned above, MC5

may also have Internal Pressure Modules and be
connected to External Pressure Modules.
They are discussed further on in this section.
E, ET and RJ modules

E Module
The E module is capable of performing the following 2 -w x m t r
tasks:
+ 2 4 V 1 m e a s / s in k
Current measurement using either MC5s own

24 Volt supply or an external supply. V , ,

Switch state sensing.
The E module is typically used for measuring the
output signal of instruments.
The optional HART communication capability is

presented in a separate section of this MC5 training
material.

The cursor keys are used when moving the cursor on K e y s
the screen. They also have several special functions (A rro w K e y s )
in certain situations, e.g. when tuning the contrast of
the display. E n te r K e y
The Enter key finishes the entering of values.

Selecting menu items when a menu is open on K e y s
the right side of the display. (M e n u K e y s )
Keys 0 and 8 are also used for opening a

possible submenu
Key 9 can be used for accepting values (like the
Enter key) in non-numerical fields.

Additionally, a connector for an External Pressure s u r e M o d u le s
Module is available. This further expands the
pressure measuring capabilities of MC5.

11
Connections on the Left Side

The uppermost connector is dedicated to the optional
Environmental Temperature Sensor. The sensor
can be used for measuring the environmental
temperature and/or the temperature of the instrument
to be calibrated.

The Auxiliary Instrument Interface (AUX) is used
when communicating with external devices, e.g. a
pressure controller or a temperature bath / dry block.
12
Connectable Devices
A list of devices connectable to MC5:
External Pressure Modules (EXT).
Environment Temperature Sensor (ENV).
Battery operated portable printer (COMP/PRT).
Calibration software with suitable communication

drivers (COMP/PRT), e.g CMX Beamex Calibration
Maintenance Management software.
Pressure Controllers (AUX), e.g.:

Beamex POC4, Druck DPI510 and Druck DPI515.
Temperature Baths/Dry Blocks (AUX), e.g.:

Ametek/Jofra, Isotech, TekKnow
