Bios Defender 510 & 520 with DryCal Technology

Bios Defender 510 and Defender 520 are the next generation of the DryCal® DC-Lite and DryCal® DC-2 Calibrators.

Everything you trusted about Bios DryCal® technology in the DC-Lite and DC-2 instruments is available in the Defender 510/520 calibrators that make it easier than ever to calibrate air sampling pumps.

The BIOS Defender is a true primary flow meter design that offers low cost, light weight and ultra-compact size, incorporating the highly-regarded DryCal technology. Building on the patented DryCal near-frictionless piston technology, the Defender 500 series incorporates features to make it immune to flow source pulsation without the need for in-line dampers.


The Defender provides users with a primary flow standard for industrial hygiene, environmental and laboratory applications. It fits easily into a slim briefcase for convenient transport and, as with all DryCal technology flow calibrators; it eliminates the need for messy soap film solutions.

Like all Bios calibrators, the Defender is easy to use.  Turn it on. Connect it to a sampling pump. Start taking readings. It's as simple as that.

The Defender 510 or 520 can take hands-free continuous readings while quickly and accurately setting the flow rate on air sampling pumps. The Defender 510/520 connects to any PC and pre- and post-calibration data can be downloaded with the included Optimizer Collect Light software. The Defender 520 also captures ambient temperature and pressure conditions during the calibration process without the need for additional instrumentation.

The Bios Defender - Overview

Accuracy

  • Proven percent of reading accuracy is supported by ISO 17025 accreditation by NVLAP of NIST
  • Integrated temperature sensors and pressure transducers placed directly in the flow stream for optimum standardized results recording (Bios Defender 520)
Convenience
  •   Housed in a molded case with rubber handgrips for a better feel and a sleeker, more contemporary look
  •  Large illuminated flow cell viewing window
  •  Navigation menu and a large, illuminated graphical display with zoom feature
  •  Rated for extreme cold operation, down to -20 ºC
  •  RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant for Europe
  •  Automatic Shutoff
Flexibility
  •  Choose between flow units – mL, L, cc, or cf
  •  Include up to one hundred readings in a group average
  •  Take individual readings, continuous hands-free readings, or set to read in time intervals anywhere from one minute to sixty minutes between readings
  •  Available in two models for application expansion use the
    • Bios Defender 510 to calibrate personal air samplers and other volumetric instruments, or the
    • Bios Defender 520 "three-in-one" to calibrate volumetric instruments, record ambient temperature and pressure conditions for your audit trail, or calibrate devices that read in mass flow.

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

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.
