1551A Ex/1552A Ex Calibration Manual Calibration WWarning To prevent fire, explosion, or personal injury, the RS-232 interface must not be used in hazardous areas. This procedure is to be considered a general guideline. Each laboratory should develop their own specific procedure based on their equipment and requirements. The procedure should be accompanied by an uncertainty analysis also based on the laboratory’s equipment and environment.
The equipment listed in Table 1 will satisfy the calibration requirements: Table 1. Recommended Equipment Equipment Recommended Model Fluke 6331 40 °C to 300 °C Hot Bath Temperature Baths Fluke 7381 -80 °C to 110 °C Cold Bath Fluke 7196 Equilibration Block...
1551A Ex/1552A Ex Calibration Manual Record as-found Calibration Parameters Before any adjustments are made, the present values of the Product calibration parameters should be recorded. Connect the serial cable between the computer and the Product. The commands used to read the values of the calibration parameters are given in Table 2.
Stik Thermometer Calibration At each calibration point the measurement error may be calculated by subtracting the reference thermometer temperature from the 1551A Ex/1552A Ex temperature. The temperatures and measurement errors may be recorded in Table 4. Table 4. As-found Measurement Errors Point Reference (fill in) 1551A Ex/1552A Ex (fill in)
1551A Ex/1552A Ex Calibration Manual Adjustment at the Zero Calibration Point The next adjustment is made for the middle of the temperature range of the Product. Set the bath temperature to the Zero Adjustment Temperature given in Table 6. Make sure the temperatures of the bath, reference thermometer, and the Product are settled and stable before proceeding.
Stik Thermometer Calibration The command will set the value of the CAL:USER:TEMP3 parameter to the given temperature and automatically adjust the CAL:USER:ADJ3 parameter to cause the Product to measure the given temperature accurately. The adjustment made here will not affect the measurements at the other Adjustment temperatures. Allow the readings of the Product to settle and then verify that the readings match the temperature of the reference thermometer well within the specified accuracy of the 1551A Ex/1552A Ex.
1551A Ex/1552A Ex Calibration Manual Maintenance Clean the Product WCaution To prevent possible damage to the product or to equipment under test, do not use abrasive cleaners. They will damage the case. To clean the Product, use a cloth with a mild cleaning solution. Battery Replacement WWarning To prevent possible explosion, fire, or personal injury:...

Stik Thermometer Maintenance To change the batteries, see Figure 1: 1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the integral battery door screw. 2. Remove the battery door to access the three AAA batteries. 3. Replace only with approved AAA batteries listed in this document. See Table 10. Any substitution voids the Product safety rating.
