Calibrating Platinum
Resistance Thermometers

This example describes how to calibrate the Bulletin 900 Controller when it is
connected to a platinum resistance thermometer.

Figure C.21

When calibrating a platinum resistance thermometer use wires of the same
thickness as those used to connect the Bulletin 900 Controller.

1. Connect the power supply.

2. Connect a precision resistance box (called 6-dial in this manual) to the

platinum resistance thermometer input terminals.

3. Turn the power ON.

4. Move to the Calibration function group. This starts the 30-minute aging

timer. This timer provides an approximate timer for aging. After
30 minutes, the No. 2 display changes to 0. You can advance to the next
step in this procedure even if 0 is not displayed.
