Pen calibration is a two point calibration. To check and/or adjust the

chart,

1. Remove power to instrument and remove the battery.
2. With all power removed, press and hold the CHANGE CHART key

(3). While holding the CHANGE CHART key(3), re-apply power.
Release key upon applying power, either AC or battery, which ever is
convenient.

LED will then go to steady on.

ring, if necessary, Then Wait.

If unit has alarms enabled pens will now go to current alarm settings
(See Section 3.2), then to the actual recording values.

If no alarms are enabled pen will then go directly to actual recording
values and begin normal operation.

Each time the chart paper or fi ber tip pen cartridge is changed, you
should make sure that each pen stops at the inner and outer most
temperature graduations of the chart paper. Otherwise, this pen offset
can cause the unit to record an incorrect value on the chart.
