Notes:
If the calibration process has been interrupted during 
the procedure the system will time out (indicated by 
fi ve short beeps) after approximately 6 seconds and 
return to the measurement mode with the setting fac-
tors unaltered.
If the blocks are used in the wrong sequence or the 
probe has not contacted the STD’s correctly, the 
display will indicate VALUE OUT OF RANGE SE-
QUENCE WILL RESTART the procedure will then 
restart at step 1 as in the table above. This setting 
procedure can be aborted at any time by pressing the 
MENU button.
Because the air temperature can be different from the 
STD sample temperature, it is recommended that the 
probe is placed on the STD, for approximately 10 sec-
onds prior to the set procedure and held on each block 
for 5 seconds before SET is pressed (steps 3 and 4 
above). By allowing the probe temperature to settle to 
that of the STD blocks optimum setting is ensured.
