Luxtron Calibration – Luxtron offers an initial and annual
service to provide calibration of instruments, extensions and
probes for customers who require a “Certificate of Calibration”
with calibration temperatures traceable to the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) temperature
standards. Luxtron can perform standard calibrations from –
25
o
C to 295
o
C, higher and lower temperatures are also
available. Please refer to our Calibration page at
www.luxtron.com/calibration for more information on this
service.
Multi-temperature
Calibration
Each fiber optic channel of the FOT instrument can be calibrated at
a different temperature, if required, for applications where the user
is measuring locations with distinctly different temperature ranges.
A two temperature range example application is if one needed to
measure water temperature from –10
o
C to 60
o
C and an oil system
from 100
o
C to 200
o
C. In this application, the user may want to
calibrate channel 1 at 35
o
C for the water temperature measurement
and calibrate channel 2 at 150
o
C for the oil temperature
measurement. This multi-temperature calibration can be
performed for all channels on the instrument. Instructions are
outlined below.
Calibration Instructions
For calibration, the instrument must be connected through a
computer with HyperTerminal
®
or Luxtron’s TrueTemp software.
All commands are for terminal software.
One Temperature
Calibration
1. Connect the extensions and probes to the appropriate
channels .
2. Insert the probe or probes into the stable temperature bath,
verified by a reliable, independent temperature measurement
device.
3. Connect the FOT instrument to the computer and start the
appropriate software.
4. Power up the FOT instrument.
