Enabling/Disabling Custom Calibration 

Custom calibration allows the indicator to be programmed to suit a particular temperature sensor. 

This allows the indicator to automatically show the true temperature, without having to manually 

apply a correction. 

 

When  the  Custom  or  User  Calibration  is  active  the  indicator  will  show  the  REM  beacon  lit 

continuously. The use of User calibration can make a significant difference to the accuracy of the 
instrument,  and this REM  beacon  provides a  clear and  continuous indication of the  calibration 

status.  Isotech  will  configure  and  set  user  calibration  when  the  Dry  Block  is  ordered  with  a 

temperature sensor. 

 

To alter the calibration status press the Scroll key until the lower display shows, 

UCAL 

  

The upper display will indicate either, 

ON 

for user calibration  

Or 

OFF 

for factory calibration of the indicator 

 

Use the UP and DOWN keys to toggle between the two values. 

 
When calibrating an unknown sensor against a calibrated probe it may be necessary to switch 

the calibration off for the unknown, and on for the calibrated probe. 

 

14.7

 

Instrument Address 

Like  the  controller,  the  indicator  has  a  configurable  "address"  which  is  used  for  PC 

communications. Each instrument has an address; this allows several instruments to be connected 

in parallel on the same communications bus. The default value is 2 (The controller defaults to 1). 

This address would only need to be changed if more than one Dry Block is connected to the same 

PC port.
