3. Force the RTD to a known temperature or simulate a known

temperature by connecting a precision resistor at the RTD end of

the field wiring. For example, if R = 182.0 ohms, then look up in

the table in Appendix B the resistor values above and below

182.0 ohms. With these values and their equivalent temperatures,

interpolate to find the expected temperature.

4. Adjust the linearity potentiometer for the corresponding

simulated temperature. The temperature should be at the upper

end of the operating range and must be well away from 0 deg C.

The linearity potentiometers are located at the back of the panel.

Each channel has a separate linearity adjustment labeled LI".

Panel Replacement

Use the following procedure to replace a termination panel:
Step 1.

Turn off power to the rack and all connections.

Step 2.

Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws holding the field

are tagged so that they can be replaced in the correct

order.

Step 3.

Remove the 50Ćpin flat cables from the back of the
