Sensor Calibration: Type T, Type K Thermocouples (DUT Mode)
Introduction to Type
T and Type K
Thermocouple
Calibration
The sensor calibration procedures for Type T and Type K Thermocouples are identical.
There are 2 methods for calibrating the sensors:
• Calibrator
• External Sensor
Calibrator is the recommended method. This method uses an external voltage source (or
Calibrator) as the primary reference. The Calibrator inputs millivolt values for high and low set
points.
External Sensor is used for unique applications. It is recommended that you contact a
Temptronic representative before calibrating with this method.
This method uses an external temperature sensor as a primary reference.
Once the Sensor has been chosen from the Calibration Select Sensor Screen, the following
dialog box will appear:
