THE STANDARD IN PRECISION MEASUREMENT

Introduction

Each temperature controller has built into the operation menus a calibration gateway. This gateway allows the
temperature controller to be calibrated to six temperature points, allowing for consistent and accurate temperature
readings. The calibration process allows for both full-range calibration and segmented calibration. Each unit
comes preloaded with tested default calibration temperature points.

WARNING: Do not enter the calibration gateway unless you have the proper calibration equipment to calibrate the
sensor inputs associated with the controller. Changing calibration settings can cause errors in sensor temperature

readings and operation of the controller.

Full-Range Calibration

This process provides accurate temperature measurements along the entire range of a given type of temperature
probe. Ranges of each type of temperature probe are provided on the controllers menu screen, as well as in Table
1, below.
