  • Page 8: Operating Procedure

    Before beginning, become familiar with the key- pad layout and the configuration of the input/output jacks. See Figure 1. In the basic or “as shipped” setup, the TC100 allows the user to step through all available T/C types (10 plus mV). In certain situations this may be confusing to infrequent users as to which type to use.

    5 minutes for the T/C connector (or wire) to stabilize to the same temperature as the connector block. 4. If you are using the TC100 in the output mode use the cursor control keys to select the decade to be controlled. Note that the cursor is the line under a specific digit.
  • Page 10: Battery Save Feature

    The TC100 incorporates an Auto Shut Off or Battery Save feature that will automatically turn off the TC100 after a preset amount of time (up to 30 minutes) The factory default setting is 30 minutes, but can be changed or disabled by completing the following steps: 1) Turn on the TC100.
  • Page 11: Setpoint Feature

    7. Setpoint Feature The TC100 allows the user to program up to 3 setpoints for each TC type (including mV). to set the setpoints complete the following proce- dure: 1) Turn on the TC100 and select the Source Mode. 2) Select the TC type to be simulated and cor- rect units (either °C or °F).
  • Page 12 Warning: You may want to disable the Battery Save feature before using the Datalogging Mode to prevent the TC100 from turning off pre- maturely. 5) At any time press the min. or max. to display the value stored.

    Because of this protection no fuse is required. C. Calibration The TC100 is designed to hold its rated accura- cy for a minimum of one (1) year. It is therefore recommend that an annual re-calibration be done to ensure operation within specification.
