Bios Defender 530 Calibrator -- Coming January 2010

The Bios Defender 530, with the ability to take both volumetric and standardized readings, is the latest addition to the popular Defender 510 and 520 line of Bios DryCal primary flow calibrators. Automatic correction of readings for temperature and pressure, rather than merely recording of ambient conditions, is essential for many applications.

The Defender 530, like the other instruments in the line, provides users with a true primary flow calibrator for industrial hygiene, environmental and laboratory applications. The design offers low cost, light weight and ultra-compact size, incorporating the highly-regarded DryCal technology. It is small enough to fit easily into a slim briefcase for convenient transport.

Like all Bios calibrators, the Defender 530 is easy to use.  Turn it on. Connect it to a sampling pump. Start taking readings. It's as simple as that. Calibrations within a minute with no messy soap bubble solutions.

The Defender 510, 520 and 530 can take hands-free continuous readings while quickly and accuray setting the flow rate on air sampling pumps or other instruments. The Defender 510/520/530 calibrators connect to any PC and pre- and post-calibration data can be downloaded with the included Integrator 110 with the Optimizer Collect Light software.

Bios Integrator 110 and Optimizer Collect Software

The Defender 510/520 and the Defender 530 come standard with the Bios Integrator 110 and Optimizer Collect Light software for bullet-proof transfer of an ASCII text file of the flow data into an Excel® spread sheet with automatic recording and graphing of flow measurements.

The Optimizer Collect software helps to meet the needs of ISO, TQM, or occupational health and safety management systems by providing a secure audit trail for all pump calibrations, regardless of the pump type or manufacturer.

The basic Bios Optimizer Collect Light allows users to download data directly to a Microsoft Excel® preconfigured Spreadsheet.for easier collection, storage and record-keeping.

Enter flow rates from pumps or other flow source and calibrate the flow source. Data is recorded directly to a preconfigured Microsoft Excel® Spreadsheet.

Enter flow data from a flow meter and capture and compare the flow measurements from tje Bios DryCal precision calibrator into a preconfigured Microsoft Excel® Spreadsheet.
Optiimizer Collect light is upgradeable to a full version of Collect by purchasing an Activation code from Bios for automatic multi-point calibration of MFC/MFM using DryCal and Integrator 110.

The upgrade to the Bios Optimizer Collect full version allows the user to not only capture, but secure, organize, search and present data.  It stores the records in a small but secure SQL database. These records can also be easily opened in a variety of off-the-shelf database applications, including Microsoft Excel and Access.
