Calibration and Offset Adjustment
Calibration consists of two parts:
1. Calibration of the A/D converter, using the set up shown in Figure 3.
2. Reference junction calibration, using the ice bath test set up shown in Figure 2.
A/D Calibration
To calibrate the A/D portion of the thermometer, follow these steps:
1. Connect the calibrator to the T1 input of the thermometer using copper (non-
thermocouple) wire and a copper thermocouple connector. Refer to Figure 3 for
proper equipment connections.
2. Turn the thermometer on, with a small, blunt probe, press the calibration button
located on the back and in the center of the thermometer. Refer to Figure 4.
