Page 34: A - Sample Probe And Bath
- 11.3.3.A – Sample probe and bath Note : physical calibration of the measurement of the sample and bath temperature require a decade unit of resistors simulating a Pt 100 probe (resolution 0.01 ) and a special cable to link the equipment to the decade unit. Calibration of the total measuring chain of the sample and bath temperature (including the sensor) is the optimum calibration. -
Page 35: B - Barometric Pressure
Displaying the probe calibration values Allows checking the conversion point values of the probe calibration. Calibration by points In the case of accidental loss of probe calibration, it is possible to enter a calibration value using the conversions points previously printed out in the log. Calibration by conversion point requires entering the low and high temperatures corresponding to the high and low conversion points to be entered. -
Page 36: C - Electrical Network Image
The information in the log can be used for calibration by points, in the case of accidental loss of calibration. Displaying the pressure sensor calibration values Allows checking the conversion point values of the pressure sensor calibration. Calibration by points In the case of accidental loss of the barometric pressure calibration, it is possible to enter a calibration value using the conversions points previously printed out in the log. -
Page 37: Checks
Displaying the network image Allows checking the calibration values of the electrical supply network image. Calibration by points In the case of accidental loss of network image calibration, it is possible to enter a calibration value using the conversions points previously printed out in the log. Calibration by conversion point requires entering the conversion point values corresponding to the voltages displayed on the screen. -
