Setup

Place the calibrator on a flat surface with at least 6 inches of free space around

the instrument. Plug the power cord into a grounded mains outlet. Observe that

the nominal voltage corresponds to that indicated on the back of the calibrator.

Turn on the power to the calibrator by toggling the switch on the power entry

module. The fan should begin quietly blowing air through the instrument and

the controller display should illuminate after 3 seconds. After a brief self-test

the controller should begin normal operation. If the unit fails to operate please

check the power connection.

The display will begin to show the well temperature and the Thermal Electric

Devices will start operating to bring the temperature of the well to the set-point

temperature.

4.3

Power

Plug the instrument power cord into a mains outlet of the proper voltage, fre-

quency, and current capability. Refer to Section 3.1, Specifications, for power

details. Turn the instrument on using the rear panel “POWER” switch. The in-

strument will turn on and begin to heat to the previously programmed tempera-

ture set-point. The front panel LED display will indicate the actual instrument

temperature.
