Achieve the highest accuracy with the mostadvanced calibrator ever offeredThe New 1500CS Precision Calibrator from MTI Instruments is the first instrument to combine highprecision voltage and charge mode signal generation in a single portable device. Use the 1500CS inthe laboratory, in test cells, on the flight line, in the factory, or any place that precision signals arerequired for equipment maintenance or system calibration in the test lab. Initially designed formachinery and gas turbine maintenance, the 1500CS produces accurate and precise voltage, charge,and speed signals necessary for system testing and calibration. In addition to being easy to use, theportable 1500CS has a large internal memory to store and recall frequently used settings. The1500CS also features an RS-232 interface to allow remote control and programming of the unit.DIRECT DIGITAL SYNTHESIS -The1500CS combines the precision of DirectDigital Synthesis with 16 bit digital-to-analogaccuracy to provide state-of-the-artperformance.PRECISION SIGNALS - The 1500CS provides voltageand charge signals with 0.05% accuracy - rarely foundeven in high-cost laboratory instruments.DUAL CHANNEL OUTPUT - The 1500CS featurestwo independent signal output channels. Set them fordifferent output levels, wave shapes, frequencies, andphase. For other testing needs you can synchronizethe two channels. This unique capability andflexibility makes testing and calibration fast and easy.FULL FUNCTIONALITY – The 1500CS produces SINE,SQUARE, TRIANGLE, and PULSE waveforms from 0.1HZ to 100KHz in 0.1 Hz increments. Output levels canrange to 10 volts peak and can also include programmableDC offsets in 0.1 millivolt steps.PRECISION CHARGE SIGNALS areproduced by the 1500CS. Differential andsingle-ended signals are available tosimulate accelerometers and other chargemode devices.The 1500CS provides unsurpassed features andcapabilities for calibration and repair personnel

Special functions for machineryand instrumentation systemsTesting and calibrating machinery monitoring and control systems is difficult when vibration, speedand other signals must be simulated simultaneously. The 1500CS has two output channels to simplifythe testing and calibration process, and they may be synchronized or run independent of each other.Special tachometer and signal phase functions enable versatile test strategies to check balancingsystems, gas turbine engine monitoring systems, and other machinery support equipment.SPEED SIGNAL GENERATION is a snap withthe 1500CS. Machinery speed signals fromtachometer generators, multi-tooth gears andeven odd tooth generators are easily produced.The signals can also be generated at a fixedratio of the other signal channel to producetrue machinery vibration and speed signals.Tach GeneratorSignalPulse SignalLong Tooth SignalVARRIABLE PHASE between the two outputssignals is easily adjusted using the 1500CScontrols. Use this feature to calibratebalancing and other data acquisition systems.SYNCHRONIZED SWEEPS are useful whentesting a variety of system performanceparameters. Sweeps are produced by the 1500CSbetween a user specified range of frequencies andover a user programmed period of time. Set theSWEEP TIME, the START and STOP frequencies,and then press GO.CHANNEL ACHANNEL B0 DegreesPhase90 DegreesPhaseCHARGE OUTPUT is used to simulate thesignals from piezoelectric accelerometers.Either Single-ended or Differential signals areavailable to calibrate and test vibration circuitsin machinery monitoring systems. A wide rangeof charge signals may be produced at constantand varying frequencies.THE JOG FUNCTION is a unique feature ofthe 1500CS that permits small changes to manyof the control parameters. Use the JOGfeature to slowly vary the signal frequency todetermine filter response or vary the signalamplitude in increments to determine systemgain.Remarkable functionality and accuracy in an easy to use instrument

Designed to improve productivityThe 1500CS is a tool that improves productivity as well as ensuring equipment and system accuracy.From the high visibility protective boot and the internal signal setting memory to the easy to usekeyboard interface, the 1500CS has features to make the job easier.MEMORY for PRODUCTIVITY – All signal settings can besaved and retrieved from the 1500CS’s 40 location memoryto reduce programming and test time, and to ensure testrepeatability.PORTABLE - The 1500CS can be used anyplace. It issmall, lightweight, portable, and operates from internalNiMH batteries or the included charger/power supply.DESIGNED FOR RUGGED USE - The 1500CS isdesigned for the factory and shop environment. The spillproofkeypad, the bright protective boot and the backlighteddisplay all make the 1500CS reliable in thetoughest working environments.EASY TO USE - The 1500CS guides users thruthe process of programming the instrument. Allsettings including signal type, amplitude, andfrequency are defined using the keypad. “Soft”function keys on the keypad assume differentfunctions depending upon the mode of operationlending added flexibility to the instrument.Support AccessoriesThe 1500CS is complimented by a number of accessories designed to ease the task of calibrating andtesting your equipment. Included in the list of accessories is software package specificallydeveloped to help you program, control and realize the most benefit from your 1500CS.DIGITAL CONTROL INTERFACE –The1500CS includes an RS-232 interface.Optional software allows setup, operation,maintenance and calibration of the unit viathis port.CONNECTION CABLES – Several differentcables are available for connecting directly tocharge amplifiers, and other machinerymonitoring equipment. Consult with your MTIInstruments representative for all availableoptions.
