TB-9212 Calibration Procedure

Verification

The following performance verification procedure describes the sequence of operation and 
provides test points required to verify the TB-9212. The verification procedure assumes that 
adequate traceable uncertainties are available for the calibration references.

Terminal Block CJC Verification

Complete the following procedure to determine the As-Found status of the TB-9212.
1.

If you are using a TB-9212 with screw terminal, loosen the captive screws and remove the 
top cover. If you are using a TB-9212 with mini-TC, you do not need to remove the top 
cover.

2.

Connect the thermocouple calibrator to the TB-9212 using the barrier strip assembly 
created in the 

Building the Barrier Strip Assembly

 section. Refer to Figure 2 for a 

connection diagram.

3.

If you are using a TB-9212 with screw terminal, reinstall the top cover.

4.

Connect the TB-9212 to the NI 9212.

5.

Power on the thermocouple calibrator and set the thermocouple type to E-type.

6.

Wait 15 minutes or the warm-up time required by the thermocouple calibrator, whichever 
is longer.
