3.7 Testing/Calibrating Temperature Probes
Handle hot probes carefully. Use protection for your hands and the surface you will be
placing the hot probes on after removing them from the well.
When calibrating probes at different temperature points, start at the lowest
temperature and work up to the highest temperature. Do not jump up and
down from a very hot temperature to a relatively cooler temperature. This will
reduce the time it takes for the probe well to re-stabilize after you change the
setpoint. When placing probes into the well, make sure the probe tip goes all
the way down to the bottom of the probe well, the full 4.5”. This will insure the
degree of highest accuracy possible when taking your reading.
After calibrating each probe, remove it from the well and place it on a
protected surface to cool. If you have another probe to calibrate, place it into
the probe well and allow the calibrator a few minutes to re-stabilize.
3.8 Cooling Down Your Calibrator After Use
Do not remove the power cord, main line power or turn the calibrator off until completing
the cool-down procedure.
When you have completed working with the calibrator you must cool the unit
down to ambient temperature if you intend to move your unit.
Cool-Down Procedure:
1. Turn the calibrator to the “standby” mode (See section 3.3)
2. The cooling fan may continue to run or turn on after a several minutes if
the
heater assembly inside the unit has not yet fully cooled down
to ambient
temperature. Do not remove the power cord or the
main line power until the
fan stops running permanently.
3. It is now safe to remove your unit from the power source and/or return to
storage.
