9102S User’s Guide Well Temperature The display allows direct viewing of the actual well temperature. This temperature value is normally shown on the display. The units of the temperature value (C or F) are displayed at the right. For example, Well temperature in degrees Celsius 100.0 C... -
Page 17: Set-Point Value
Dry-well Calibrator Operation Set-point Value The set-point value may be adjusted after selecting the set-point memory and pressing SET. Set-point 4 value in °C 4 50. If the set-point value does not need to be changed, press and hold EXIT to resume displaying the well temperature. -
Page 18: Scan Rate
9102S User’s Guide Scan Rate The scan rate can be set from 0.1 to 99.9 °C/min. The maximum scan rate, however, is actually limited by the natural heating or cooling rate of the Product. This rate is often <100 °C/min, especially when cooling. -
Page 19: Heater Power
Dry-well Calibrator Operation Heater Power The temperature controller controls the temperature of the well by pulsing the heater on and off. The total power being applied to the heater is determined by the duty cycle or the ratio of heater on time to the pulse cycle time. -
Page 20: Controller Configuration
9102S User’s Guide The proportional band width is easily adjusted from the front panel. The width may be set to discrete values in degrees C or F depending on the selected units. The proportional band adjustment is accessed within the secondary menu. Press SET and EXIT to enter the secondary menu and show the heater power. -
Page 21: High Limit
Dry-well Calibrator Operation High Limit The High Limit parameter adjusts the upper set-point temperature. The factory default and maximum are set to 125 °C (257 °F). The minimum setting is 50 °C (122 °F). For safety, a user can adjust the High Limit down so the maximum temperature set-point is restricted. -
Page 22: Sample Period
9102S User’s Guide Sample Period The next parameter in the serial interface parameter menu is the sample period. The sample period is the time period in seconds between temperature measurements transmitted from the serial interface. If the sample rate is set to 5, the Product transmits the current measurement over the serial interface approximately every five seconds. -
Page 23: Calibration Parameters
Dry-well Calibrator Operation Calibration Parameters The operator of the Product controller has access to a number of the calibration constants: R0, ALPHA, and DELTA. These values are set at the factory and must not be altered. The correct values are important to the accuracy and proper and safe operation of the Product. -
Page 24: Alpha
9102S User’s Guide ALPHA This probe parameter refers to the average sensitivity of the probe between 0 and 100 °C. The value of this parameter is set at the factory for best Product accuracy. Flashes for one second and then the ALPHA setting displays... -
