Verification Overview
Verification determines whether or not the TP04100A System is currently calibrated to standard or if the
System needs to be recalibrated.
Before the TP04100A System is calibrated, or at any time the system calibration is questioned, perform the
verification procedure as outlined below.
If periodic verifications show that the calibration performance has stabilized and is well within specifications,
then the follow-up calibration procedure is not required.
Readings of the verification performance must be recorded in Table
5-2
to evaluate the deviations for
determining how often calibrations are needed.
To ensure
an
accurate System sensor verification, follow proper temperature sensing techniques. Contact the
Temptronic Service Office if you have any questions.
The verification procedure must be performed by a qualified technician. Verify that the instrumentation
(external precision temperature Monitor and thermocouple sensor) used to sense the working surface
temperature is in calibration. This instrumentation must be calibrated against
a
primary or transfer standard.
Verification is performed at two temperatures extremes: Low and High. It can also be done at other
temperatures (typical test setpoints) if desired.
It is
not
recommended
.to use verification techniques which require inserting the Monitor thermocouple
sensor into the Main Air "close to, but not touching" the System's factory installed Main Air thermocouple:
precisely positioning the Monitor thermocouple is uncertain, and even small variants in Monitor thermocouple
citing can skew (cause inaccurate) measurement results and prevent repeatable measurements during current
and future verification sessions.
The following Approved Verification procedures use the Monitor connected in series, as a precise, repeatable,
input to the System,
and
applies to verifying sensor accuracy in Air mode, and DUT T and DUT
K
modes
