Cal-check setting
The cal-check or calibration check feature of the 200 & 300 series PU monitors
performs a simple test that checks the monitor input circuit and input socket. This
applies to the temperature channels only. Test components are built into the lead
that connects the monitor to the playback unit. The playback unit keeps track of
these checks for each monitor. You can select the frequency of the checks in this
part of the configuration section.
Each time a monitor is connected to the RPC-80 it first finds out how recently the cal-
check has been performed on that monitor and whether all channels passed. The
RPC-80 then calculates if another check is due according to the chosen setting.
The cal-check takes place with fixed inputs that represent 60ºC and the actual
readings are shown as well as the pass or fail result. Channels are checked even if
they have been set inactive. For monitors with several temperature channels the
check is performed on all at the same time with pass or fail shown for each channel.
In this case a fixed 60ºC test plug is required for all but the first channel. The pass
and fail criteria are based on the original specification of the monitor. If the monitor
fails the cal-check it can still be used if you wish; it is not banned from operation in
any way.

checks. You can also choose to never check. The setting you choose applies to all
200 & 300 series PU monitors that are used with this playback unit. The RPC-80 is
despatched with the cal-check turned off. The date of the last successful cal-check is
printed on the Status Report for the monitor. See Manual-1.
The cal-check does not apply to the older 100 Series PU monitors.
RPC-80 ID setup
Each RPC-80 can be given its own identification, which is separate from the
manufacturer's serial number. This ID can be your own factory instrument number or
similar identification. The ID will appear on the printed status report for the playback
unit. This type of ID may be required for BS 5750 (ISO 9000).
