Calibrating the Manifold Temperature Sensor

You should calibrate the manifold temperature on an annual basis. This allows you to correct
for any changes in the manifold temperature sensor that occur with time.
You will need a small diameter probe, such as a 1/16-in. (1.5-mm) thermocouple to calibrate
the manifold temperature sensor.
1. Insert the thermocouple probe into the opening located to the left of the sample port
connector.
2. Move the thermocouple back and forth until you locate the small opening on the underside
of the manifold. Push the thermocouple through the white insulation into the opening until
the thermocouple stops.
You may have to scrape the insulation to locate the opening on the underside of
the manifold.
3. Allow the temperature gauge reading to stabilize.
4. Select Unit > Calibration > Temperature; the Calibrate Manifold Temperature dialog is
displayed.
5. Enter the manifold temperature indicated on the temperature gauge. Click
new value.
6. Remove the thermocouple probe.
