Ice Bath RTD Calibration
Use deionized water and ice mixture at 0°C (32°F) equilibrium for an ice bath. Ensure
temperature with a reference thermometer. Siemens can not assume responsibility for the
incorrect design, construction or operation of an Ice Bath.
NOTICE
Sensor Damage
If RTD sensor makes direct contact with ice during an ice bath calibration procedure the
sensor may be damaged and the calibration results will be incorrect.
Do not allow an RTD sensor to make direct contact with ice during an ice bath calibration
procedure.
To perform a 0°C (32°F) calibration:
1. Immerse RTD sensor in deionized water and ice mixture. Stir the mixture constantly.
2. In the [RTD Calibrate] menu move the highlight by pressing the <Up/Down Arrow> to the
RTD you want to calibrate (RTD 1 or RTD 2).
3. To access the RTD option list press <the Right Arrow>. Move the highlight to [User Cal]
then press <ENTER>. This triggers the pop-up window.
4. After the RTD sensor reaches equilibrium at 0°C (32°F), press <ENTER> to recalibrate
the RTD sensor.
5. To verify the calibrated reading, go to Dual Path Flow [Diagnostic Data/Liquid Data] menu
to check the current RTD output. Make sure that it coincides with the reading of the
reference thermometer. Repeat for the other RTD, if necessary.
