v 2.0 — March 2023 Altanium Delta5
306 Thermocouple Calibration
16.5 Thermocouple Calibration
To run a satisfactory injection process, temperature accuracy of the zones is important. The
Altanium Delta5 lets you make sure that your temperature readings are correct with the use
of zone calibration.
NOTE: Amperage and voltage calibrations are only done by Husky service.
These instructions are for the Altanium Delta5 with hot runner temperature control. They are
to be used with systems that are configured for J-Type thermocouple inputs. It is
recommended that this procedure is performed to all zones in the system on an annual basis.
NOTE: The system has been factory-calibrated and, in most conditions, it is not necessary to
recalibrate until the Altanium operated for one year. For questions or additional
information about thermocouple calibration, contact the nearest Husky Regional
Service and Sales office.
The required equipment necessary to complete this procedure are shown in Table 16-2.
To calibrate a thermocouple, do the steps the follow:
1. Make sure that all cards in the system are in place and properly secured.
2. Make sure that all card slots and access panels are covered and closed.
3. Energize the controller and let the internal temperature stabilize for at least 45 minutes.
If the controller has already been running for this amount of time you can skip this step.
4. Log into the system as administrator.
