3.0 Ice Point Calibration

The Ice Point Calibration should only be performed with an ambient temperature

between 21°C and 29°C. This Calibration was performed on the unit at the factory during

the Basic Calibration and generally does not need to be done again. The Ice Point

Compensation can be adjusted through this calibration. The Ice Point Calibration

procedure is described below.
Note: Calibration can be aborted by setting the BASIC CAL switch OFF prior to the

setting of the OUTPUT CAL switch OFF. (Step 3.6)

3.1 Connect a precision mV source with an accuracy of 0.02% to Terminal #1 TC+ Input

and Terminal #2 TC- Input. Set the OUTPUT CAL switch (#1) and ICE PT EN/DIS

switch (#4) OFF. Set the BASIC CAL (#3) and FIELD CAL (#2) switches ON. The

positions of switches #5 thru #10 are not relevant for this calibration procedure.

3.2 Connect a precision thermometer (accuracy of 0.1°C) to the unused terminal (#3)

beside the TC Input terminals.

3.3 Apply power and allow a 30 minute warm-up period. [Current goes to 3.5 mA

(nominal)]

3.4 Using the temperature indicated by the precision thermometer, input an equivalent

1 mV/°C signal to the TC Input terminals and wait 5 seconds.

3.5 Set the OUTPUT CAL switch (#1) ON and then OFF.

3.6 Set the BASIC CAL switch (#3) and FIELD CAL switch (#2) OFF. [Current

increases to 3.6 mA (nominal) or more]
