19.2.5 Temperature correction
A temperature correction (offset) can be set for each temperature input. If an offset has been defined, it will be added
automatically to the measured temperature. This function is used if:
• the characteristic curves of both temperature probes differ considerably from each other
• a known and constant temperature gradient exists between the measured temperature and the actual temperature
Activation/deactivation of the temperature correction
The temperature correction can be activated/deactivated in the menu item Special Funct.\SYSTEM settings\
Dialogs/Menus.
• Select on to activate the temperature correction or off to deactivate it.
• Press ENTER.
Input of the temperature correction
In the program branch Measuring the correction values will be requested for each input which has been activated and
where the temperature can be measured.
• Enter the offset for the temperature input.
• Press ENTER.
During the measurement, a corrected temperature value is marked by cor.
Special Funct.\SYSTEM settings\Dialogs/Menus\Tx Corr.Offset
Notice!
If off is selected, the temperature correction will be deactivated for all inputs. However, the correction values entered
for each temperature input will be stored and displayed again when the temperature correction is reactivated.
Measuring\...\T1 Corr.Offset
Notice!
Only measured temperatures can be corrected.
In order to adjust the zero point, the same reference temperature is measured with both temperature probes. The
difference between the two measured values is entered as the offset for one of the temperature inputs. It can also be
distributed between the offsets of both channels.
The display of the temperature difference T1 - T2 does not indicate if one or both temperatures are constant or if the
values have been corrected.
T1 = 90.5 C (COR)
