5.3 Preliminary Information
Disconnect the Field Wiring
Tag and disconnect any field wiring connected to the input terminals on the rear of the
controller.
Equipment Needed
Table 5-2 lists the equipment you will need to calibrate the specific types of inputs that
are listed in the table. You will need a screwdriver to connect these devices to your
controller.

Table 5-2 Equipment Needed
•
A calibrating device with at least ± 0.02 % accuracy for use as a
signal source such as a millivolt source.
•
Thermocouple extension wire that corresponds with the type of
thermocouple that will be used with the controller input.
•
Two insulated copper leads for connecting the thermocouple
extension wire from the ice baths to the mV source.
•
Two containers of crushed ice.
•
A calibrating device with at least ± 0.02 % accuracy for use as a
signal source such as a millivolt source.
•
Thermocouple extension wire that corresponds with the type of
thermocouple that will be used with controller input.
•
A decade box, with at least ± 0.02 % accuracy, capable of providing
stepped resistance values over a minimum range of 0 to 1400 ohms
with a resolution of 0.1 ohm.
•
Three insulated copper leads of equal length for connecting the
decade box to the controller.
•
A calibrating device with at least ± 0.02 % accuracy for use as a
signal source.
•
Two insulated copper leads for connecting the calibrator to the
controller.
•
Place current source at zero before switching ON.
