6. CALIBRATION OF TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE
6.1 Method of Calibration:
The calibration of temperature and pressure is performed digitally.
The temperature and pressure measuring circuits are designed with
components having 1% accuracy.
The temperature circuit is linear and has an output of 100mV÷2400mV
for a temperature range 20°C÷150°C.
The pressure circuit is also linear and has an output of 100mV÷2400mV
for a pressure range 0÷400 kPa.
The measuring at the A/D is limited for values higher than 2400mV or
below 100mV.
The system has a non-volatile memory in which the offset and gain data
of the sensors are stored.
Calibration is performed by use of the keyboard (or the communication
port for computer use).
Following is a description of the calibration of temperature and pressure
using the keyboard. The calibration procedure is identical to all autoclave
models.
Definition of Gain and Offset:
Every straight line can be defined by the equation ax+b=y. “a” is the
deviation from y=0 and “b” is the slope of the line. In our case a=Gain
and b=Offset.
The system is based on calculation of offset and gain of two points as in
the following example
If the actual measured pressures are 100 kPa & 300 kPa and the
displayed pressures are 90 kPa & 310 kPa respectively, the ‘input Vs
pressure” graph will be as follows.

The calibration method enables to input this data into the system in order
to perform automatic correction of OFFSET and GAIN.
It is necessary to define the two points, which have to be input to the
system, prior to performing calibration.

Remarks:
— When cursor is set under any figure, pressing the START/STOP
key stops calibration.
— When the cursor is set under any figure, it enables to feed this value
to the reading of temperature by pressing the PARAMETERS key.
Example:
If the cursor is set under R68.0 on the upper row and the actual
temperature of the autoclave is now 66.0ºC, by pressing the
PARAMETERS
R68.0 to R 66.0.
This calibration method enables the technician to change a certain point
without affecting a second point.
Example:
When the working temperatures are 134ºC and 121ºC but the actual
temperature are 132ºC and 121ºC
The measured temperature for 134ºC must be corrected without
changing the temperature at 121ºC,
Considering the above example, the setting of data can be done as
follows:
A 121.0 R 121.0
A 132.0 R 134.0
The system will calibrate the new offset and gain and retain them into the
non-erasable memory.
As a result, while running a 134ºC program the correction is
automatically made, while at 121ºC no change is felt.

parameters will be stored before PCS code downloading and restored after
downloading are finished.
Note: The program storing parameters only in these conditions:
♦ CAT Technologies ADMC Program Installed on PC.
♦ The Downloaded file (DWN) have same name as one of the ADMC
machine types file (for example if downloaded file name is:
LabTN2.DWN, this file ADMC compatible, because ADMC type file:
LabTN2.mdb exist).
Note: Only current selected Program (For example: 1-Instruments)
parameters will be saved and restored.
