4 Temperature Calibration of the Controller
4.1
Menu: General Configuration
This menu is used to select the language (German or English).
Moreover, it is possible to change the operational mode which is reserved to the service
engineers!
1. Select this menu ("General Config") by pressing the "arrow right" key until the service
menu appears and two subsequent clicks on the "arrow right" key.
2. Press "Enter" and select with the "arrow right" key
a) the language (cursor is on the left side): with the arrow keys "up" and "down" you
can change between "English" and "German".
b) the operational mode (cursor is on the right side): with the arrow keys "up" and
"down" you can change between "Operate" (normal measuring mode) and "ValMode"
(validation mode).
3. Skip back to the basic display by pressing the "arrow right" key.
Note: The validation mode "ValMode" enables the heating of the push rod outside the
ion source!
Due to the risks of bodily injury and damaging the instrument, this mode is
reserved to qualified service engineers!!!

Temperature Calibration
1. Select "ValMode" at the DIP Controller (see above and DIP Manual 5.6)
2. Put the temperature sensor of a calibrated thermometer (indicates the actual value)
into the push rod tip and isolate these both.
3. Select the parameter menu of the controller:
Press <Enter> and keep it pressed
while pressing <arrow up><arrow down><arrow up><arrow down>
then let off the <Enter> key so that the diagnostic menu appears
press <Arrow right> and <Enter> so that the cursor in the parameter menu appears:
the first two numbers represent the parameter number, the selected number is taken
with <Enter>
then the belonging value (to this parameter) will be shown and can be changed
4. Select parameter "00" and enter the password "1000" (now all parameter values may
be changed)
5. Select parameter "01" and calibrate the controller to room temperature:
example: actual value (thermometer): 20 ° C
change the value to "-20" and press <Enter>
(algebraic sign "-" because the controller value is higher than the
actual value, otherwise do not use a sign)
6. Load the DIP method "check_temp.dip." and start it:
The tip of the push rod is successively heated to 30/150/250/350° C. Please note
each temperature of the controller display at the end of the dwell time.
7. Calculate the deviation percentage of each temperature and average over all
temperatures (for example 8%).
