Calibrate 100 %

Loop 1/2 
You will see: 
Upper Display = APPLY  
Lower Display = INn SPAN [n=1 to 5] 
•  Adjust your calibration device to an output signal equal 
to the 100 % range value for your particular input 
sensor. See 
Table 5-1 for Voltage, Degrees, or 
Resistance equivalents for 100 % range values.

Func 
Loop 1/2
 
The calculations for zero and span are now stored and you 
will see: 
Upper Display = The temperature of the Cold Junction 
Sensor mounted on the rear terminals 
Lower Display = CJTEMP  
The value in the upper display is in tenths of a degree. It is 
the current reading of the cold junction temperature as 
measured by the controller. This value can be changed by 
using the 
and keys. 
 WARNING   It is recommended that this value not be 
changed under normal circumstances. Changing this value 
will not change the thermocouple reading on your 
instrument. Instead, it changes the effect of cold junction 
temperature compensation for future ambient temperature 
changes. If you wish to adjust the temperature reading of 
your instrument following a Field Calibration, then use the 
Input Bias setting. See Section 
3.15 (Input 1), Section 3.16 
(Input 2) or Section 3.17 (Input 3).
