GE PM880 - Entering Calibration Data

3-6 Programming Site Data
Entering Calibration Data
Along with basic probe parameters, the PM880 requires
calibration data for its probes. You will need to enter this data at
initial setup, if you change or replace a moisture probe, or if you
have sent the probes back to the factory for calibration.
IMPORTANT: Be sure you have the Calibration Data Sheets
that are supplied with each GE Panametrics
probe. Each Calibration Data Sheet consists of a
list of data points that you will need to enter or
verify, and lists its corresponding probe serial
number. Calibration Data Sheets are usually
packed inside the probe cases.
You only need to enter calibration data for M and TF Series
probes. The Moisture Image Series probe stores calibration data
in its electronics module, and uploads it into the PM880 memory
when needed. It is unnecessary to enter calibration data for the
Moisture Image Series probe, unless you send it back to GE
Panametrics for calibration without its electronics module. In this
case, enter the calibration data for the recalibrated probe as
described on the following pages.
From the Program Menu, press the [
T] key once to reach the
Calibration option, and press
[ENTER]. The screen appears
similar to Figure 3-3 on the next page.
