Document Title: Calibrate Thermocouple
Product(s): T-375
Procedure:
To calibrate a thermocouple after replacement or repair, it is necessary to have
exterior temperature sensor (Fluke Thermocouple Thermometer 51/52 Series II or
equivalent) in order to compare and adjust the temperature readings.
Set the thermometer to the same scale as the Bagger (°F or °C).
Place the temperature sensor probe from the Fluke or equivalent thermometer in
contact with the Heater Bar as close to the point of contact for the Thermocouple
Wire as possible.
Access the Temperature Calibration Screen, by starting at the Main Menu,
proceeding to the Technical Assistance and Bagger Factory Screens.
Press "Temperature Calibration" button on right side of Bagger Factory Settings
screen.

  • Page 2 Follow these steps to calibrate the heater bar: 1. Using a controlled measurement device, clamp the measurement tip or pad to the heater bar surface as close to the thermocouple connection as possible. 2. Take the difference between the Current Temperature and the temperature measured in Step 1 and enter that number in the Adjustment field.
  • Page 3 Read Out: This display shows the difference between the PLC temperature and the Adjusted Temperature that has been entered manually. Adjustment If there is a discrepancy between the readings, press the “Adjustment” button and enter the correct temperature reading according to the Fluke Thermometer. For example, if the outside calibration equipment reads 123°F and the bagger shows 111°F, a value of -12°...
