Resistive Temperature Device (Rtd) Calibration - Siemens FUG1010 IP65 NEMA 4X Operating Instructions Manual

Functions

7.13 Resistive Temperature Device (RTD) Calibration

Memory Map
Selecting [YES] for this item enables a snapshot display of current memory usage. In this
display, the asterisk indicates a used memory block, a space indicates a free block, while a
dash character indicates unused filler.
Defragment
Selecting [YES] for this item consolidates memory data blocks into contiguous storage;
collapsing the filler regions. You may be able to use an additional block for site or Datalogger
storage as a result. Use this command if you seem to be out of memory even though the
[Log Memory Left] item indicates free capacity.
7.13 Resistive Temperature Device (RTD) Calibration
The [RTD Calibrate] menu appears on all SITRANS 1010 models. Use this menu to calibrate
Temperature Sensors to an external standard. It is important to note that Siemens RTD
temperature sensors are factory-calibrated for high accuracy. We recommend that before
deciding to perform the calibration, check the current RTD reading in the [Diagnostics Data /
Gas Data] menu. You may find that you do not need to calibrate the sensor. In any case,
make sure that the temperature reading stabilizes before proceeding further. The [RTD
Calibrate] menu allows you to perform an external calibration, which can be accomplished
either by data entry of the current RTD temperature or by a 0°C (32°F) Ice-Bath procedure.
You can switch between the intrinsic and external calibration modes at any time.
Note
If you perform an external temperature calibration, you should mark and record the location
of each connector and sensor-cable. Once you have re-calibrated the temperature sensors,
changing the sensor/connector orientation established during the procedure may void the
calibration.
1. From the [Meter Facilities] menu scroll to the [RTD Calibrate] menu.
2. To access the [RTD Calibrate] menu press <Right Arrow>.
