Calibration Introduction
Verification determines whether or not the TP04300A System is currently calibrated to
standard or if the System needs to be recalibrated.
Before the TP04300A System is calibrated, or any time system calibration is questioned,
perform the sensor verification procedures given in Verification of DUT, RTD, and Diode
Sensors, page 5-11.
To ensure an accurate System calibration, follow the proper temperature sensing techniques.
Contact the Temptronic Service department if you have any questions.
The calibration procedure must be performed by a qualified technician.
Each temperature sensor calibration requires the use of a precision temperature Calibrator
instrument.
Verify that the instrumentation (Calibrator and thermocouple sensor) used to sense the
working surface temperature is in calibration. This instrumentation must be calibrated against
a primary or transfer standard.
The calibration procedure is made easier by system semi-automatic operations directed by
selections from a series of System screens which perform calibration at the optimum
temperature (offset).
Carefully follow the detailed setup instructions on each System screen.
It is not recommended to use calibration techniques which require inserting a sensor into the
main Air nozzle. Precisely positioning the sensor within the nozzle is uncertain, and even small
variants in the sensor’s location can skew (cause inaccurate) measurements and prevent
repeatable measurements during current and future verification sessions.
The following Approved Calibration procedures use the Temptronic factory installed
“Calibration” software program accessed from the Utilities Screen and yield precise,
repeatable, calibration measurements to a standard.
