Meriam has been providing innovative, reliable, cost-effective measurement and calibration solutions since 1911. The M130 Thermocouple calibrator has been designed using the latest technology to provide reliable accuracy throughout its entire operating temperature range, dependable operation, and exceptional battery life.
M130 – T/C Calibrator Instruction Manual Z1017-IR E.O. 6566 Sept. 2008 User Interface Keypad Functions ON/OFF Key The ON/OFF key, represented by the standard ON/OFF symbol, turns the M130 ON or OFF (note: the ON/OFF key must be held until the display turns on or off). Upon power on, the M130 will perform a self-test, displaying the Meriam product ID, and all segments for approximately 1-2 seconds, then go into the mode in use when unit was powered off.
M130 – T/C Calibrator Instruction Manual Z1017-IR E.O. 6566 Sept. 2008 FUNCTION Key The FUNCTION key, represented by the FUNC symbol, selects one of 3 functional modes: Measure, Simulate (manual), or Simulate (auto), and displays the corresponding icons (MEAS, SIM). This key can also be used to advance one menu item or will advance to next recorded value while in RECORD view mode.
M130 – T/C Calibrator Instruction Manual Z1017-IR E.O. 6566 Sept. 2008 adjustment for changing the values. The positive sign (+) indicates the Group Keys will increment the displayed value. DECREMENT ( – ) Group Keys The three keys beneath this symbol allow the user to scroll through edit selections when EDIT icon is lit. The keys are also used to decrement numeric simulation values.
M130 – T/C Calibrator Instruction Manual Z1017-IR E.O. 6566 Sept. 2008 During an over-range/under-range condition, the red backlight will over-ride the green backlight if it was already on. Once the condition is corrected, the green backlight will be restored to its previous state (assuming the backlight auto-off timer did not expire). Notes: 1. The backlight should be turned off when not needed to conserve battery power. 2. The backlight will be automatically disabled when the M130 reaches battery mode.

M130 – T/C Calibrator Instruction Manual Z1017-IR E.O. 6566 Sept. 2008 Certification The M130 is EMI/ESD compliant to the test specification EN61326. The M130 is for general purpose use only. Do not use in potentially hazardous atmospheres. Changing the Batteries The M130 is powered by three, 1.5 volt AA size batteries. The “BAT” icon in upper left of display will activate when battery output drops below a threshold level. Approximately 2 hours of life remain from that point.
M130 – T/C Calibrator Instruction Manual Z1017-IR E.O. 6566 Sept. 2008 Install the three batteries by sliding them into the bottom of the battery slots, positive (+) end first, making sure the polarity markings on the batteries align with the markings molded into the battery compartment. When a battery is installed with the polarity reversed, the stand-offs prevent the negative battery terminal from contacting the positive terminal in the battery compartment.
