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. MC5P simulates the output signal of the
temperature sensor for each calibration
point. The middlemost window displays
the default value for the reading. You
have two possibilities on how to con-
tinue:
• Adjust the simulated signal until
the reading of the indicator/re-
corder is exactly the same as the
default value displayed in MC5P.
This method is useful when cali-
brating analog indicators/record-
ers and the input signal source
supports fine adjustment.
• Select the field displaying the de-
fault value and enter the actual
reading. This method is useful
when calibrating indicators with
digital display or when the input
signal cannot be fine adjusted.
3. Accept the points using the B/Accept
Readings Function Key.
4. Save or reject the results as is de-
scribed in chapter A Calibration Pro-
cedure Using MC5P on page 110.
5. Either do another calibration run or re-
turn to the Instrument window.
Hint!
This procedure can be used as a reference when calibrating any
kind of indicators/recorders. Adapt the input signal connections/
settings according to the instruments input signal.
When calibrating a temperature instrument with a detachable sen-
sor (the input signal is simulated with MC5P), use this example as
the source for the input signal part.
