The Offset Null buttons of the Test Page provide an additional tool to further
increase temperature measurement accuracy between channels. Null is
intended to be performed in the field, with a warm unit, and with the unit
mounted as in the final application. It is an optional operation only for those
applications that demand increased channel to channel convergence,
beyond rated accuracy.
There are three cold junction sensors on the 965EN-4006, and two on the
965EN-4004. One CJC sensor is used at each terminal block for each pair
of TC channels. Because these sensors are located at different points on
the circuit board, and at different temperatures, this difference is reflected in
a measurement disparity between channels of the same unit. This is most
apparent with the 6 channel TC units which displace the last two channels a
greater distance from the first four. This disparity will vary with the position
of the module, and whether units are tightly spaced with respect to one
another. This tool allows you to null these differences between channels
which will vary between applications.
IMPORTANT:
This process works best if the ambient temperature of your
module remains fairly consistent throughout operation. It will work at any
rated temperature, but may generate additional error (temporary) where the
ambient of the unit varies quickly. As such, it is best done in the ambient
environment of your application and where the temperature remains stable.
Do not perform this operation if your ambient changes quickly.
Set Null
– Click this button to null the offset indicated with a 0°C input signal
at the corresponding input for the TC type selected. Unit should be warm (1
hour minimum), in a stable ambient, and mounted as in the final application
before nulling.
Undo
– Click this button to remove any offset null at the channel indicated.
Units from the factory do not include any null factors.
