308 Thermocouple Calibration
9. Connect the wire harness pins to the selected thermocouple connector inputs located
on the back of the controller.
Use Table 16-3 and Table 16-4 for reference.
10. Set the thermocouple simulator to 300 °F (150 °C if the temperature units in the
controller are set to Celsius).
11. Wait about 5 seconds for the reading to be stable and then touch the Read Low button
on the left side of the Zone Calibration screen.
12. Set the thermocouple simulator to 750 °F (400 °C if the temperature units in the
controller are set to Celsius).
13. Wait about 5 seconds for the reading to be stable and then touch the Read High button
on the left side of the Zone Calibration screen.
14. Touch the Calibrate button on the left side of the Zone Calibration screen to calculate
the simulated values and save the data for that zone to the system.
The tile button of the selected zone on the Zone Calibration screen should now show
750 °F (400 °C).
15. To do an accuracy check of the calibration, set the simulator to 500 °F (260 °C).
The tile button of the selected zone on the Zone Calibration screen should read
500 ±1 °F (260 ±1 °C) degree for the zone you have just calibrated.
16. To calibrate another zone, do the steps that follow.
a. Touch the zone tile button of the zone that you want to calibrate.
b. Connect the wire harness pins to the selected thermocouple connector inputs
located on the back of the controller.
c. Do step 10 through step 15 again.
17. When you have completed the thermocouple calibration(s), disconnect the wire
harness from the back of the controller and from the thermocouple simulator.
