TPI 312C FIELD CALIBRATION
Fill a plastic or metal container with crushed ice and add clean water to a depth of at least 4 inches. Stir the ice
and water for 2 to 3 minutes prior to performing calibration to ensure the water is completely chilled. Make
certain there is plenty of ice in the mixture and always use clean water. Distilled water works well. The
temperature of an ice bath is approximately 32°F (0°C).
Insert the stainless steel shaft of the 312C into the ice bath making sure at least one inch of the tip is immersed.
Allow the reading on the thermometer to stabilize.
Press and hold the
D-H
button for approximately 8 seconds until “CAL” is displayed. “CAL” will display for
approximately 2 seconds and then the 312C will return to normal operation. Calibration is complete.
Note: If the temperature reading was not within 23°F to 41°F (-5°C to 5°C) when step 3 was performed no
change in calibration occurred. The 312C was designed with this feature to prevent improper calibration.
