    This provides easy recalibration and good traceability of the temperature measurement. TTI-22 is operated via a menu-driven user interface. The current value, the mean value and the standard deviation of 5 up to 50 values can be continuously displayed. The self-heating effect of the sensor can be determined via the integrated self-heating test.

    Checking the Supplied Parts TTI-22 was tested and packed carefully before shipment. However, damages may occur during transport. Keep the packaging material (box, foam piece, transport protection) for possible returns and further questions from the transport and insurance company. Check the delivery for completion by comparing the supplied parts to those noted in Table 4.1 If a part is missing, contact your Isotech representative.

    ("Configuration Parameters") Check if the serial number on TTI-22 (on the rear side of the instrument) matches the number on the optional parameter printout ("Configuration Parameters"). If the above-mentioned numbers do not match, be sure to contact the manufacturer or supplier of the instrument.
  • Page 15: Putting The Measuring System Into Operation

    Putting the Measuring System into Operation Press the <On/Off> key on the lower left front side of the instrument. TTI-22 performs a self-test. If there are no errors, the instrument will enter measuring mode after the self test. 6.2.1 Getting Started with Pre-stored Sensor Parameters If sensor parameters have already been entered and assigned to the sensor inputs 1 and 2 ex factory, TTI- 22 displays the current temperature of the sensors.
  • Page 16: Getting Started Without Stored Sensor Parameters

    If you switch off TTI-22 with the <On/Off> key, the current operating condition (e.g. mean value mode for 20 values) is stored. If you interrupt the power supply in another way, e.g. by pulling the plug, TTI-22 is deactivated without storing the current operating condition.
  • Page 17: Configuring Tti-22

    Configuring TTI-22 After being switched on, TTI-22 is in measuring mode. Press the <M> key to change to the menu mode. There are two ways to select a menu item: • Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the desired item and press the < > key.

    1 step. Entering Sensor Parameters and Assigning to a Sensor Inlet TTI-22 measures the electrical resistance of the connected platinum sensors and uses it to calculate the temperature via internal formulas (standard case: quadratic equation). These formulas’ coefficients, which are different for each sensor, are called sensor parameters (or calibration parameters).
  • Page 20 Before entering the calibration parameters, make sure that the date stored in TTI-22 is correct (see Chapter 7.2). The date is stored together with the calibration parameters. Switch to the menu mode and select the menu 2 Edit Configuration. Enter the user password and then select the menu item 3 Sensors > 1 New/Edit Calibr.

  • Page 24: Performing A Self-Heating Test

    Usually the self-heating of the sensor is considered in the calibration parameters. If the measuring current during calibration strongly deviates from the measuring current in TTI-22, or the thermal resistance (air, water, still or moving) strongly differs, this function is useful for avoiding major errors. The self-heating of sensors that are supposed to measure the temperature of still air, for example, is mostly already too significant to be ignored.

    Reading out Measuring Data You can transfer the measuring data to a PC. To do this, connect the PC to the RS232 interface of TTI-22 and use a terminal program or connect the PC to the Ethernet interface of TTI-22 and use a web browser.

    Calibrating and Adjusting TTI-22 TTI-22 uses an internal reference resistor for measuring the electrical resistance of the sensor. The temperature value is calculated from the resistance measurement via internal formulas. For a precise temperature calculation a regular calibration/adjustment of TTI-22 and the used sensor is necessary.

  • Page 40: Appendix D: Temperature Calculation Methods

    Appendix D: Temperature Calculation Methods TTI-22 employs two methods for calculating the temperature from the primarily measured property "ohmic resistance": The DIN IEC 751, which describes the relation between resistance and temperature for industrial sensors, and the ITS-90 (International Temperature Scale 1990), the temperature scale valid for standard thermometers since 1990.

    60 °C too. From the correlation of the temperatures at this point the measuring uncertainty of the thermometer between the calibration points can be determined. A sensor calibrated in this manner together with a TTI-22 can achieve measuring uncertainties of <10mK in the calibrated range.

    You can calibrate and adjust sensors by connecting a known, certified reference sensor and your un-adjusted sensor to a TTI-22 unit and in this way determining the value of the sensor resistance using a highly precise thermostat at various temperatures. With equations of DIN IEC 751 or ITS-90 you can calculate the sensor parameters.
