Step Action
1 Run system for half an hour at Ambient to stabilize components at normal
operating temperatures.
2 Toggle Head into Up position so System is not supplying main air flow
controlled to a setpoint (other than "Trickle" air flow).

display Calibration Main Screen, then press "T-Type” or “K-Type” to display
the Calibration Screen.
5 Set Calibrator output to the desired Low Calibration point (-60.0 °C), then press
"Next" to display Calibrate Low Temperature Screen. Allow graph plot to
stabilize at low temperature.
6 Set Calibrator output to desired high Calibration point (+200.0 °C), then press
"Next" to display Calibrate High Temperature Screen. Allow graph plot to
stabilize at high temperature.
7 Press "Next" to display Calibration Done Screen, then press "Done" to return to
