Many applications
MCS100 offers a solution for a large variety of applications, such as calibration of pressure, temperature and electrical signals; electrical tests and measurements; maintenance and testing of single and 3- phase motors; soldering of surface mounted and traditional components; safety and high voltage testing; educational use.

Safe and ergonomic
MCS100 bench system offers a safe environment with maximum working space as all equipment is mounted in the panel, and loose instruments and components can be placed on their own shelves and compartments. The tabletop and module rack can be mounted to a user-defined height. Lighting is a standard feature, and AC socket outlets are within easy reach.

Versatile
The module panel hosts a great variety of modules including calibration modules, AC&DC power supplies, multimeters, function generators, oscilloscopes, etc. This makes the MCS100 workstation ideal for both instrument and electrical workshops, as well as for use in laboratories.

ESD protected
Electrostatic discharges cause problems to electrical components, e.g. in repair and production facilities. MCS100 is a safe choice for places where sensitive components are handled. The MCS100 Bench System and its accessories are supplied with an electrically semiconducting coat of paint. For further protection, a semiconducting tabletop, ESD wrist straps, mats and grounding sets are available.

Desk Top System
All Beamex calibration modules can be installed into a Desk Top System. The 19" Desk Top chassis, which includes internal power supply to all Beamex modules, form complete calibration stations. The Desk Top System is ideal to be placed on existing workbenches or used in small calibration laboratories where the available space is always an issue.

Mobile Lab System
Mobile Lab is a portable equipment trolley allowing measuring and calibration modules to be mobile outside a confined work area.It is compact and easily transferable from one location to another. It is compatible with all MCS100 equipment modules.
Mobile Lab consists of an equipment frame with wheels and a power supply unit. In this configuration the calibration workshop can be taken to the worksite, eliminating the need to remove instrumentation from the process.

Calibration software
Beamex provides calibration software ranging from documenting software designed for efficient and easy documentation of calibration results, to versatile calibration management software with security system featuring electronic signature, multi-user / networking, history trend, and powerful report and certificate functionality.

All software products have communication with the host calibration module MC5P.

Modules and equipment

Calibration Modules - MC5P Host Module
The MC5P calibration host module is, with its large graphical display and membrane keyboard, the master module for temperature, electrical and pressure calibration modules. Apart from communicating with the calibration modules, it also features communication with dry blocks and automatic pressure controllers.

The MC5P can also work as a multichannel datalogger (option), using the other calibration modules.

The MC5P includes an electrical section (E) which hosts the optional HART® modem which allows digital communications with instruments that support the HART® protocol. MC5P automatically includes an internal 250 ohm resistor required for HART® communication when the +24V DC loop supply is used.

Pressure Output Modules, manual
The PO pressure output modules are designed to regulate vacuum and pressure signals with high precision. F or pressures up to 20 bar (290 psi), a regulator in combination with an adjustable volume is used to help achieving the exact pressure. High-pressure modules come with high-pressure regulators combined with needle valves.

The pressure supply module PS7 provides a basic pressure supply for devices such as I/P, E/P, etc.

Pressure Output Modules, automatic
The POC4 pressure output controller is an automatic pressure output module designed for applications requiring automatic pressure testing and calibration. The POC4 is available in different pressure ranges from -0.95 bar to 60 bar (-13.7 to 870 psi). The POC4 automatically regulates the pressure output signal according to commands from MC5P.

Main Supply Units
The main supply unit powers the modules installed in the MCS100 Bench System. Each type of main supply unit includes a mains switch, earthed socket outlets both in the front and inside the panel, thermal overload and fault current protections, and earth terminal screw. More features are available depending on the mode l.

Power Supply Modules
Many types of power supplies can be integrated into the MCS100 Bench System, such as variable and constant AC & DC supplies, dual power supplies, programmable DC supplies, isolated supply outlets, variable 3-phase AC supplies and 3-phase connections.

Measuring Equipment
Various types of measuring equipment can be included in the module panel, such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, function generators / frequency counters, power analysers etc., providing an ergonomic and efficient measuring facility.

Soldering Equipment
The MCS100 Bench System can be fitted with soldering/desoldering stations, along with fume extraction equipment, vision systems, hot air pencils, preheaters etc., enabling soldering of surface mounted and traditional electronic components.

ESD Equipment
The ESD equipment available for the MCS100 Bench System removes the problems caused by electrostatic discharges into sensitive components. The range of ESD equipment includes semiconducting laminated tabletops, semiconducting mats under the bench and on the module panel, wrist straps, grounding sets, etc. All steel parts of the bench are ESD painted as standard.

Fittings
A large number of fittings and accessories are available for the MCS100 Bench System, such as drawer units, steel shelves, pick-up boxes, swivel stands, CPU and keyboard shelves, tool holders, chairs, etc.
