SECTION 1 GETTING STARTED Unpacking Remove the packing list and verify that you have received all equipment. If you have any questions, contact the nearest Customer Service Department, as listed on the cover of this manual. Upon receipt of shipment, inspect the container and equipment for any signs of damage.
Available Ranges As specified in Table 1-1, the transmitter has 10 ranges. Depending upon the range, the transmitter can measure temperature span as narrow as 160°F or as wide as 1000°F. A multi-turn, top-accessible potentiometer provides fine span tuning. A second top-accessible, multi-turn potentiometer provides a zero adjustment which allows placement of the 4-mA output temperature within +/- 25% for Fahrenheit and +/- 10% for Celsius of nominal span (refer to Section 3.0, Calibrating the Transmitter,...

CALIBRATING THE TRANSMITTER Calibration Setup: To prepare the ice bath: Fill a glass beaker with crushed ice made from distilled water. Fill the beaker with enough distilled water so that the ice bath just becomes slush, but not enough to float the ice. Insert the reference thermocouple.

CALIBRATING THE TRANSMITTER (Continued) To calibrate the transmitter, follow these steps (refer to Figure 3-1): Locate the model number in Table 3-1 or 3-2 and set the millivolt source to the LO-IN value. Adjust the Zero potentiometer until the milliammeter reads 4.00 mA. Set the millivolt source to the HI-IN value (in your appropriate table) and read the output current on the milliammeter.
