Page 11: Chapter 2. Specifications
The LTR-90 operates over the range of -95°C to 140°C. The LTR-90 is most commonly used with Kaye's Intelligent RTD (IRTD) probe and Kaye Validator to make up a complete validation system. The LTR-90 has the ability to rapidly heat and cool, making it an ideal instrument for performing multiple-point calibrations for a variety of processes, such as freeze dryer, cold rooms, incubators and steam sterilizers. -

Page 23: Setting The Temperature
Chapter 4. Parts and Controls 4.2 Setting the Temperature When you calibrate thermocouples using the LTR-90 and the Kaye Validator, the set-points are defined as part of the calibration procedure and automatically downloaded from the Kaye Validator to the LTR-90. To utilize automated calibration with the LTR-90, the Validator will require version 3.62 software and firmware. - Page 24 Chapter 4.
