Calibration
1. Move to Calibration Mode, select the
instrument to be calibrated and start the
calibration as presented in chapter A
Calibration Procedure Using MC5P
on page 110.
2. Start the calibration as presented in
chapter A Calibration Procedure Us-
ing MC5P on page 110.
3. Set the temperature of the bath/dry
block to the required calibration point.
If the temperature bath/dry block com-
municates with MC5P, MC5P controls
the temperature of the bath/dry block.
Wait until the temperature stabilizes.
4. If the reading of the reference tempera-
ture sensor is entered manually, enter
the value and press B/Accept Read-
ings Function Key. If the reference tem-
perature sensor is connected to MC5P
and the Calibration Method is Manual,
accept the readings using the B/Accept
Readings Function Key. In automatic
calibration the calibration proceeds au-
tomatically. More information on Cali-
bration Methods is in chapter About
Automatic Calibration and About
Manual Calibration, both on page 112.
5. Save or reject the results as is de-
scribed in chapter A Calibration Pro-
cedure Using MC5P on page 110.
6. Either do another calibration run or re-
turn to the Instrument window.
Hint!
With small changes, this procedure should also suit all tempera-
ture instruments with a fixed sensor. In that case, use a reference
sensor that can be connected to MC5P to measure the input signal
and either measure or enter the output signal of the instrument.
Use one of the following examples for the output signal:
• Temperature Transmitter with sensor. See the example
Pressure Transmitters on page 114.
• Temperature Indicators/Recorders with sensor. See the
example Temperature Indicators and Recorders on page
118.
• Temperature switches (thermostats) with sensor. See the
example Electrical Limit Switches on page 120.
