PEGASUS

 1200S

USING THE INDICATOR TO MEASURE TEMPERATURES REMOTE FROM THE FURNACE

1.

Remove the Pegasus

Plus

 1200 from its case and visually inspect it for any damage it may

have sustained since i t was last used.  Insert the required metal insert into the furnace
block  using the tool supplied to avoid damage to the heater assembly.

2.

Connect the Pegasus

Plus

 1200 to a suitable power supply and set the controller to either

0 C if the furnace is not to be used or to the required temperature if it is going to be used
to calibrate thermometers.

 
3.

If the standard thermometer is going to be used to measure a temperature other than the
metal  block,  reconfigure  and  set  the  user  calibration  of  the  indicator  acco rd i ngly.
Connect  the  standard  thermometer  to  the  indicato r  which  will  now  display  its
temperature.

4.

If the indicator is going to be used to measure the temperature of a remote thermometer,
reconfigure and set the user calibrati o n   o f  th e indicator to correspond to that type of
thermometer,  connect  the  thermometer  to  the  indi ca tor  and  the  corresponding
temperature will be displayed.  See pages 16 to 19 details of user calibration.

5.

If  the  Pegasus

Plus

  1200  has  itsel f  been  calibrated,  correct  the  average  values

accordingly. 

6.

Reset the controller and/or repeat the calibration for another thermometer.

7.

When the calibration is complete, reset the controller to 0 C and wait until the unit has
cooled to below 600 C before moving the Pegasus

Plus

 1200 to   a   n e w  location.  The

Pegasus

Plus

  1200  must  be  cooled  to  below  100 C  before  it  can  be  put  back  into  its

carrying case.
