SERVICE INFORMATION 

"Copper-mode" is a non-compensated mode of operation during which cold-junction 

compensation of inputs and outputs is disabled. This permits the use of copper-wire 

interconnections between instruments, while avoiding the time and expense of multiple 

thermocouple-cable hookups. At the conclusion of calibration verification, cold-junction 

compensation is reenabled, and operation returns to "alloy-mode". 

 

 

 

 

 

"Alloy-mode" refers to Thermocouple operations; for example, a Type-K thermocouple is made 

up of Nickel/Chromium and Nickel/Aluminum alloys. Referring to the TEGAM Calibrator(s) in TC 

operation, "Alloy-mode" means in effect "other than Copper-mode." In order to make accurate 

measurements using a thermocouple device one must eliminate erroneous voltage signals.

 

In "Alloy-mode", the TEGAM calibrator automatically calculates the cold- junction compensation 

for the selected TC type, based on the value(s) from the ITS-90 table. This feature enables the 

user to make accurate temperature measurements without making manual calculations for error 

corrections.

 

 

 

COPPER MODE VERIFICATION PROCEDURE FOR THERMOCOUPLE FUNCTIONS

 

 

Equipment Required:

 

 

 

1. TEGAM Model to be verified.

 

2. Voltmeter accurate to 1uV resolution.

 

3. Thermocouple simulator.

 

4. Cable assembly (Fig. 11).

 

 

 

1. Start your calibration with a fresh battery.

 

 

2. Press the ON function button to turn the unit on.

 

 

3. Select the calibrator mode ("CALIB" on display) by pressing the CALIB/METER function 

button. 

 
4. Select type K thermocouple ("K" on display) by pressing the SENSOR SELECT function button 

until type K is reached.

 

 

5. Select the tenth degree display (with a digit appearing after the decimal point on the display) 

by pressing the 0.0.1 function button.

 

 

6. Select °F ("°F" on display) by pressing the °F °C function button.

 

 

7. Press the CHANGE function button. The numerical display should blink.

 

 

8. Press 9 9 9 9 9. ("9999.9" should appear blinking on display).

 

 

9. Press the ENTER function button. The display will blink "Hi" once or twice and then will display 

"0.0 °F" blinking. There will also be an "Ω" symbol blinking in the upper left. It will blink with 

the "0.0 °F" display.
