To set-up the ET6 for your specific application, you
might need to change some of the Dip Switches.
The Dip Switches are located underneath the chart.
Use a pen or small screw driver to flip the switches.
Remember to install correct chart to match
corresponding Dip Switch setting.

Your instrument was carefully tested and calibrated
before being shipped from the factory. additional
calibration is not required. However, should cali-
bration be desired in the future, we recommend
that it be at our lab, Call Customer Service at
630-543-3747. If you wish to calibrate yourself,
follow these procedures:
1. There are two phases of calibration. During
the first phase, the recorder should be
calibrated using an accurate electronic signal
generator. The second phase consists of
calibrating the recorder in conjunction with
the transmitter to be used. When calibrating
with a transmitter, a compatible standard
should be used. For example, use a highly
accurate temperature standard to calibrate the
ET6 using a temperature transmitter.
2. The calibration procedure is the same whether
calibrating the unit only, using an electrical
signal calibrator, or calibrating the unit in
conjunction with a transmitter. When
calibrating with a transmitter, the calibration
must be performed using a separate standard
with which to adjust the unit and transmitter.
3. To activate the calibration mode, turn the unit
off. now press the ON/OFF key and the
ALARM key at the same time. The unit is in
the “User Calibration” mode when the red
LED is on. The display will show a “C” during
the warm up period and then will flash between
0 and F or 0 and C (depending on measurement
selected.) Match the reading of the recorder
to the reading of the reference standard.
4. To raise the unit of measurement, press the
CHART ROTATION (Up Arrow) key. To lower
the unit of measurement press the HOME
(Down Arrow) key. To ensure that you have
matched the standard, allow the pens to
stablilize for at least 30 seconds before exiting
calibration mode. If your ET6 only has one
pen, skip to Step 6.
5. Press the alarm button for 2 seconds to switch
from Pen 1 to Pen 2. Repeat step 4 for Pen 2
temperature calibration.
6. When calibration is complete simply press the
ON/OFF key to save the calibration settings.
Calibration is stored in memory even after you
turn the unit off. User calibration information will
not be lost if AC power fails.
