6.4 - Use of the functions
6.4.1 - Reading of external probes (TC version only)
It is possible to display one or two probes tied to the EXT and REF
inputs.
The following probes can be connected:
1. THERMOCOUPLES TYPE J, K, R, S, N, E with automatic
compensation of the terminal clamp temperature.
2. THERMAL RESISTANCE Pt 100 to 2, 3 or 4 wires.
•
Connect the probe’s wires to the clamps (15) as it is indicated in
the figures.
Thermocouple
–
connect the wires to the clamps 2-4 to make
attention to the polarity; connect the clamps 1-3 as indicated.
Reference to figure 7-A and select the thermocouple.
Pt100 to 4 wires
–
connect the clamps 1-2-3-4 as indicated in
figure 7-B and select Pt100.
Pt100 to 3 wires
–
connect the wires to clamps 1-2-3; connect
the clamps 3-4 and select Pt100 3W. Reference to figure 7-C
Pt100 to 2 wires
–
connect the wires to clamps 2-4; connect
the clamps 1-2 & 3-4; select Pt100. In case of two wires
connections remembers to us shortest wires possible. Refer to
figure 7-D
•
In order to read the pr
obes’ temperature refers to the procedure
explained in paragraph 10.1 till
SENSOR
; the temperature will be
displayed on at the bottom of the display.
•
In order to read in the '°F' way, refer to the procedure explained
in paragraph 10.1 till
Units°C/°F/K
; the conversion of the new
scale will be carried out at once.
NOTE: The calibrator always thermally adjusts with the control probe
situated inside the block.
6.4.2 - Switch test
You can test the operating point of the thermostats by the 'SWITCH TEST' function.
•
Put the thermostat in the most suitable hole of the block (see the note in paragraph 3).
•
Connect the terminals of the thermostat to the socket (4).
•
Switch on the calibrator.
•
Set the test temperature upper to the operating temperature of the thermostat: the lamp (7.3)
will come on when the thermostat electric contact works.
•
The instrument stores the switch test value. Follow the instruction and the flow chart on chapter
10.1, up to SW ON - SW OFF to display the stored values.
•
Push on together the
&
keys to reset the value of 'SW. ON - SW. OFF'.
•
See chapter 10.1 for ramp generation.
