Other Alarms

• OPEN thermocouple: A thermocouple channel that is OPEN (no thermocouple connected) will cause an OPEN alarm.

OPEN will be displayed instead of a temperature when that channel is displayed.

Check thermocouple connection, wiring to the thermocouple, or replace the thermocouple.

If the channel is not used, disable the channel (see How to Enable/ Disable channels, page 30).

• UNDER alarm: If the instrument detects a reading indicating a temperature below the operating range of the thermocouple type an UNDER alarm occurs.

UNDER will be displayed instead of a temperature when that channel is displayed.

• OVER alarm: If the instrument detects a reading indicating a temperature above the operating range of the thermocouple type an OVER alarm occurs.

OVER will be displayed instead of a temperature when that channel is displayed.

• LOG FULL alarm: 4,680 12-Channel records can be stored in memory. A record is stored in memory manually by pushing STORE, or automatically according to the log rate setting in the menu.

During a LOG FULL alarm LOG and FULL alternate in the display. During a LOG FULL alarm you can:

• RECALL - scroll through the logged readings.

• PRINT - print the logged readings.

To clear (erase) the memory: push CLEAR then push LOG.

• Instrument errors: Various hardware errors can also cause an alarm such as an A/D error, EEPROM verify error, flash write error, etc. The entire display will flash the alarm message. See Error Messages, page 62.

Normal display updates stop until the alarm is acknowledged. Other updates (scanning, printing, other alarms, logging) continue without interruption.

LOG

How to adjust the log rate

The log rate is the time the instrument waits between logging temperature scans in memory. 4,680 12 channel scans can be logged in memory, then LOG FULL is displayed. When LOG FULL is displayed you can RECALL – scroll through the logged readings, and you can PRINT – print the entire list of 4,680 logged entries. To clear (erase) memory: push CLEAR, then push LOG. The default setting is 00:20 (20 seconds). It takes 4 seconds to do one 12 channel scan so a log rate of 00:04 is the maximum obtainable. The longest interval that can be set is 1 hour, 60:00.

Examples: At a setting of (00:20) the log is full in 26 hours . At the minimum setting (00:04) the log is full in 5.2 hours. For 8 hours use a setting of 00:09. At the maxim um setting (60:00) the log is full in 4,680 hours (195 days).

How to do a field calibration

Factory calibration is stored in protected, non-volatile memory. Field calibration is usually used to reduce probe errors over a specified range. All field calibration values may be cleared (returning the instrument to factory calibration) by pushing and holding CLEAR during the power up display test. An individual channel's field calibration may be cleared. When CALPT1 is displayed, press and hold CLEAR until CALPT1 CLR is displayed. This also clears CALPT2 for this same channel. The CAL icon will also go off for this channel. There are no restrictions on what values may be entered for field calibration. Two calibration points may be entered for each channel. After CALPT1 is entered the prompt for CALPT2 appears. If only CALPT1 is entered the offset is affected. If both CALPT1 and CALPT2 are entered, both slope and offset are affected. (See calibrating to the freezing/boiling points of water on page 53, for an example.)

How to calibrate to water

Ice Point

Calibrate CALPT1 to the freezing point of water (0°C or 32°F) by using crushed ice made of distilled water. Immerse the probe in a flask (insulated) filled with crushed ice and topped off with distilled water. Add crushed ice to keep the flask full of crushed ice and water during calibration.

Boiling Point

Calibrate CALPT2 to the boiling point of water (100°C or 212°F) by using distilled water and correcting for altitude and barometric pressure. As a rule of thumb the boiling point of water decreases 1°C or 1.8°F for every 1000 feet above sea level. Correction for barometric pressure is usually required only in the case of severe high or low pressure weather conditions.

Note: This method is less accurate than using a dry block calibrator or a thermocouple calibration furnace. Boiling point calibration is only recommended when this equipment is not available and two point calibration is required.
