Part 1, Introduction
Things discussed in this part:
• About this manual
• Briefly about MC6-WS's hardware and firmware
• Available software and hardware options
General
Thank you for buying Beamex MC6 Advanced Workshop Calibrator and
Communicator. Because of its versatile features, it really is "more than a
calibrator".
MC6-WS is one device with five different operational modes: Meter, Calibrator,
Documenting Calibrator, Data Logger and Fieldbus Communicator.
Note: Before taking MC6-WS into use, please read the warnings
available in Appendix.
About This Manual
MC6-WS User Manual is divided into several parts as follows:
•Part 1, Introduction discusses general matters.
•Part 2, Active Terminals and Connections. Whatever you measure, generate
or simulate, here's how to make the necessary connections.
•Part 3, Meter introduces the metering tool, which is handy for making quick
measurements. One measurement at a time.
•Part 4, Calibrator. A more versatile tool which allows you to measure/
generate/simulate two things simultaneously etc.
•Part 5, Documenting Calibrator concentrates on instrument calibration using
the full featured documenting calibrator.
•Part 6, Data Logger. Collecting and reviewing data and transferring logged
data to a PC.
•Part 7, Communicator. Invoking digital communication with modern
instruments.
•Part 8, Settings. How to customize MC6-WS and what the About window
contains.
•Part 9, Additional Information. About advanced tools for, e.g. adding custom
pressure units, connecting external devices etc.

Typographical Conventions
The following typographical conventions apply to MC6-WS User Manual:
Bold text is used in following situations:
• References to User Manual topics and parts,
• MC6-WS keywords, i.e. terms shown in the User Interface and
• other keywords, e.g. the names of fieldbus parameters.
Note: This is a note. Notes typically inform you of something useful
concerning the current topic.
Caution: This is a caution. Whenever you see a caution, read it
carefully and take it seriously. By not observing cautions, you may
damage the calibrator.
Warning: This is a warning. Whenever you see a warning, read it
carefully and take it seriously. By not observing warnings, you may -at
worst- damage the calibrator and/or even risk your life.
Unpacking and Inspection
At the factory each new MC6-WS passes a careful inspection. It should be
free of scrapes and scratches and in proper operation order upon receipt.
The receiver should, however, inspect the unit for any damage that may have
occurred during transit. If there are signs of obvious mechanical damage,
package contents are incomplete, or MC6-WS does not operate according to
specifications, contact the purchasing sales office as soon as possible.
If you have to return the instrument to the factory for any reason, use the
original packing whenever possible. Include a detailed description of the reason
for the return. Read also chapter Sending MC6-WS for Service in Appendix.
For a description of available options, see Options.
Part 1, Introduction - 9
Standard accessories:
• Accredited calibration certificate,
• this User Manual,
• Warranty Card,
• test leads and clips,
• USB cable.
About MC6-WS
Starting MC6-WS
To start MC6-WS, switch the CENTRiCAL on. The MC6-WS will start
automatically. To switch on just the MC6-WS, press and hold the Power button
for a few seconds. The startup procedure ends in Home View. From MC6-
WS's Home View you may advance to any of the available main functions. This
manual contains detailed information of main functions as follows:
•Meter in Part 3,
•Calibrator in Part 4,
•Documenting Calibrator in Part 5,
•Data Logger in Part 6,
•Communicator in Part 7 and
•Settings in Part 8.
Figure 1: Home view
Part 1, Introduction - 10
Figure 2: Power button (left) and Home button (right)
With the Home button (see Figure 2: Power button (left) and Home button
(right)) you can always return to Home View from wherever you are.
When MC6-WS is already running, pressing the Power button briefly opens a
dialog with the following options:
•Power Off to shut down MC6-WS in Backup Mode, i.e. minimum power
consumption and full startup procedure.
•Standby to set MC6-WS in Standby Mode allowing faster startup when the
Power button is pressed again.
•Backlight Off to temporarily set the backlight off.
The button on the right side of the dialog:
•Power Management to define Backlight Brightness and other power
management related settings. More in Part 8, Settings.
MC6-WS will shut down immediately when the bench's Main switch is switched
off. The Battery Charging status window will not be displayed. MC6-WS can
still be operated normally on battery power, when the bench's Main switch is
switched off.
Note: Certain main functions are options. They may not be available
in your MC6-WS. More of this in chapter Options.
Firmware
You can interact with MC6-WS by tapping on available buttons/controls
displayed on the touch screen. Optionally: use the hardware arrow keys
to move between the available buttons/controls. The first time you push a
hardware arrow key the Hardware Focus Indicator is displayed (a blue border
around the active button/control). When using the hardware arrow keys, use the
hardware Enter key to select ("tap") a button/control.
Figure 3: Button without and with a Hardware Focus Indicator
Buttons often open a pop-up window for entering data, e.g. a unit button with
the text "mmH2O" opens a pop-up window of available units. Certain buttons
do have special functionality, like "Accept" and "Close" buttons. They close
