USING THE 9600 SYSTEM

SETUP PROCEDURE

The 9600 Calibration Tester takes about 20 minutes to cool from its high
setting to its low setting. When testing several thermometers at both
temperatures, first test the units on the cool setting. Then switch settings,
wait for the READY indicator to illuminate, and test the thermometers at the
high setting.
To prepare the system for use, place the 9600 Calibration Tester on a level
surface away from sunlight, drafts, and other heat and cold sources. Then
take the following steps:
1. Set the Temperature Select Switch to the 96.4 ºF position.
2. Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.
3. Verify that the POWER indicator is on. If the POWER indicator is not
on, check the connection to the power source, and verify that the outlet
has power. Do not open the unit as there are no parts that can be
serviced in the field. If the unit is opened, the warranty will become
void.
4. Wait until the READY indicator lights continuously. The unit will take
about 6 minutes to stabilize during which time the READY indicator
might blink on and off briefly before staying on continuously.
5. After obtaining a temperature (as described in the following sections),
switch the temperature setting to 106.0 ºF, and wait for the READY
Indicator to light continuously. This will take about 4 minutes.

LEVEL 1 CALIBRATION TEST

Level 1 Calibration Test is described on the instruction label on the top panel
of the unit and in the following instructions. If a reading in the 9600 Tester
is less than, or equal to, +/-0.3 ºF from the temperature selected on the
9600, then the instrument is within specifications and no further testing is
needed.
