5-10 Calibration
5-10.1 Calibration 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
sensor verification procedures given in Section
5-9.
To ensure an accurate System calibration, follow proper temperature sensing techniques. Contact the
Temptronic Service Office if you have any questions.
The calibration procedure must be performed by a qualified technician.
Each temperature sensor calibration requires a precision temperature Calibrator instrument to be substituted for
the sensor at the thermocouple input connector.
Verify that the instrumentation (Calibrator and thermocouple sensor) used to sense the working surface
temperature is in calibration. This instrumentation must be calibrated against a primary or transfer standard.
The calibration procedure is made easier by semi-automatic system operations directed by selections from a
series of display screens which perform calibration at two temperatures extremes: Low and High.
The procedure for calibrating each temperature sensor (Main Air, DUT type
T, or DUT type K) is very similar.
Each calibration goes through a two-step procedure at -10 OC (Low Temperature) and then at +200 OC (High
Temperature). Carefblly follow the instructions on each display screen (in following sections).
It is
not recommended to use calibration techniques which require inserting the Calibrator thermocouple
sensor into the Main Air "close to, but not touchingy' the System's factory installed Main Air thermocouple:
precisely positioning the Calibrator thermocouple is uncertain, and even small variants in Calibrator
thermocouple citing can skew (cause inaccurate) measurement results and prevent repeatable measurements
during current and future calibration sessions.
The following Approved Calibration procedures use the Temptronic factory installed "Calibration" software
program accessed fiom the
Setup Options Screen and yield precise, repeatable, calibration measurements to a
standard.
