YOKOGAWA YHC5150X

Product Introduction

YOKOGAWA YHC5150X is a high-precision handheld process calibrator designed for field calibration and maintenance of industrial instruments. As part of YOKOGAWA’s renowned YHC series, it combines advanced measurement capabilities with intuitive operation, making it an essential tool for technicians working with sensors, transmitters, and control systems.

The YHC5150X excels in both measurement and simulation of key process variables, including temperature, pressure, voltage, and current. Its exceptional accuracy (±0.01% for electrical measurements) ensures reliable calibration of critical instruments like those connected to SAI143-H53 analog input modules. Whether used for commissioning new systems or maintaining existing ones, YHC5150X provides the precision needed to keep industrial processes operating within optimal parameters, reducing downtime and ensuring measurement integrity.

Core Advantages and Technical Highlights

Laboratory-grade accuracy in a portable design:

With ±0.01% accuracy for voltage and current measurements, YHC5150X delivers precision comparable to bench-top calibrators while maintaining portability. In pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, technicians can calibrate pressure transmitters with confidence, ensuring the SAI143-H53 modules receive accurate data for critical process control—accuracy that directly impacts product quality and regulatory compliance.

Comprehensive measurement and simulation:

The ability to both measure and simulate thermocouples, RTDs, voltage, and current eliminates the need for multiple tools. In chemical plants, a single technician can calibrate temperature sensors, verify transmitter outputs, and simulate process variables to test controller responses—all with YHC5150X. This versatility reduces equipment carry weight by up to 50% compared to using separate tools for each function.

Rugged design for industrial environments:

Built to withstand harsh field conditions, YHC5150X operates reliably from -10°C to 50°C and resists dust and water splashes. In offshore oil platforms or mining sites, it performs consistently despite temperature extremes and vibrations, ensuring calibration work isn’t delayed by environmental factors. The durable housing protects internal components from accidental drops up to 1m, a common hazard in industrial settings.

Smart data management:

With 10,000 data point storage and optional Bluetooth connectivity, YHC5150X streamlines documentation of calibration results. Technicians can record as-found/as-left data with timestamps, then transfer reports to a computer for compliance tracking—critical for industries like nuclear power or aerospace where audit trails are mandatory. This feature reduces paperwork errors and saves up to 30 minutes per calibration compared to manual recording.

Typical Application Scenarios

In oil and gas refineries, YOKOGAWA YHC5150X is used to calibrate pressure transmitters on distillation columns. Technicians connect it to transmitters feeding data to SAI143-H53 modules, verifying both measurement accuracy and output signals. Its ability to simulate 4-20mA signals allows testing of the entire loop from sensor to controller without disrupting operations, enabling planned maintenance instead of emergency shutdowns.

In power generation plants, YHC5150X calibrates temperature sensors monitoring turbine performance. Its precise thermocouple and RTD simulation capabilities ensure that temperature readings sent to control systems are accurate, preventing overheating incidents. During scheduled outages, technicians use it to calibrate dozens of instruments efficiently, thanks to its long battery life and quick setup features.

In food and beverage processing facilities, the calibrator ensures level transmitters and flow meters are properly calibrated, maintaining product consistency and reducing waste. Its portability allows technicians to move easily between production lines, while the color display provides clear readings even in dimly lit areas—essential for verifying instruments connected to SAI143-H53 modules that control filling and packaging processes.

Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Instructions

Calibration preparation: Before using YOKOGAWA YHC5150X, ensure the battery is fully charged (allow 4 hours for a full charge). Verify the calibrator’s accuracy with a reference standard annually, or more frequently if used in harsh environments. Prepare appropriate test leads (included) and adapters for specific sensors—use the thermocouple reference junction compensation by keeping the calibrator at stable temperature during measurements. For hazardous areas, confirm the ATEX certification matches the zone classification before use.

Maintenance suggestions: Clean YHC5150X regularly with a soft, dry cloth; avoid chemical cleaners that may damage the housing. Store in the provided case when not in use, keeping it away from extreme temperatures and moisture. If measurement accuracy drifts, perform a user calibration using YOKOGAWA’s calibration software. Replace the battery every 2-3 years (or when capacity drops below 70%) with YOKOGAWA-approved replacements to maintain safety and performance. Periodically check test leads for damage, replacing them immediately if insulation is compromised.
