Calibration of TRAQC-8 

The  TRAQC-8  is  calibrated  by  Tradinco  Instruments  B.V.  to  achieve  the  stated  accuracy.  The 
calibration  report  is  supplied  with  the  instrument.  The  user  cannot  change  these  factory 
adjustments.  However,  it  is  possible  to  make  adjustments  within  the  predetermined  accuracy 
limits and calibrate the TRAQC-8.  
Functionally,  the  TRAQC-8  basic  factory  calibration  will  remain  active:  only  the  output  will  be 

corrected according the “User Adjustments”.

 

These user adjustments can be found under “Advanced Options” in the “Main Menu”. The user 

adjustments are stored in the internal memory.  
 

 

 
Beware when making incorrect changes the TRACQ-8 may be damaged and/or not function 
anymore. If so, contact Tradinco Instruments B.V..  

 

The calibrator will invalidate the calibration report supplied with the calibrator. Therefore 
you  should  only  adjust  the  calibrator  if  you  use  a  pressure  or  electrical  device  higher 
accuracy standards than the accuracy standards of the TRAQC-8. 

 

After  entering  “Advanced  Options”  in  the  “Main  Menu”  the  he  “PIN  CODE  entry”  display  will 
appear. Enter the required PIN Code using the arrow keys, and then press ‘ENTER’ 

key (F1). The 

following menu will be displayed: 
 
 

 

 

 

 
Commands Set rtc date, set rtc time and set recall date are simple straight forward operations, 
where dates and times are set using the arrow keys. These functions will not be further explained 
in this manual. 
 

3.10.1

 

Adjust instrument inputs.

 

 

As this is a critical operation, affecting the displayed data. 
When entered, the display will show following option menu: 
 

 Please be aware of the 

“Clear User Adjustments” function, 

described in par. 4.7.7.4. This function will delete 

any

 user 

modifications, as made in the 

Adjust instrument inputs” and 

“Adjust instrument outputs”: The instrument will revert to 

its basic calibration. 

 

All  adjustments  as  described  in  the  following  chapters  are  “two 
point” 

adjustments: one at minimum value, and one at maximum 

value.  Based  on  these  two  points,  TRAQC-8  will  extrapolate  all 
intermediate data.
