7. Read the voltage across the output of OUT A (Model
2001 #2). Compare the measured and calculated voltag-
es. If they differ by more than 72
µ
V (0.36
°
C), perform
the calibration procedure of paragraph 4.4.1.

4. Coat the probe with a thermally conductive compound,
and insert it into the 0.110” hole marked “CAL” on the
Model 2001-TCSCAN printed circuit board.
5. Use the Model 2001 #1 front panel CHAN key to close
Channel 1.
6. Take a reading from the reference thermometer (T
