•
Out @ NORMAL
displays the location of the output terminals (always NORMAL)
for rtd connections.
•
TYPE
(RTD Type) - Selects the rtd curve from a list.
•
OUTPUT
(Temperature Output Device) - Selects the temperature device:
thermocouple (tc) or resistance temperature detector (rtd). Select rtd.
•
COMP
(Compensation) - Applies 4-wire compensation, 2-wire compensation or
turns compensation off. Compensation refers to methods to connect the Calibrator to
the UUT to cancel out test lead resistance. See “Four-Wire versus Two-wire
Connections” in this chapter. For the 3-lead connection (Figure 4-9) select COMP
off.
Measure Thermocouple Temperatures
Complete the subsequent procedure to measure the output of a thermocouple connected
to the TC input. If you make an entry error, push
to clear the display, then reenter.
1.
Push
to clear any output from the Calibrator.
2.
Connect the thermocouple to the front panel TC connector.
Note
You must use thermocouple wire and miniconnectors that agree with the
type of thermocouple. For example, if you simulate a temperature output
for a type-K thermocouple, use type-K thermocouple wire and type-K
miniconnectors.
