Calibration
Procedure
(continued)

3. Set the sensor simulator to a maximum (900

°

F for

J T/C, 1600

°

F for K T/C). While pressing the

“READ TEMP” pushbutton, adjust the span
potentiometer until the digital display equals the
sensor input value (900

°

F or 1600

°

F).

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times as necessary
until both displays equal their respective sensor input
values.

5. Calibration complete.
