2. Determine millivolt values for thermocouple or mV input.
• Thermocouple Type Input: Consult user supplied TC millivolt vs temperature table and record the
millivolt values corresponding to the Zero and Full Scale temperatures.
• mV Type Input: Consult user supplied data and record the millivolts equivalent to the Zero and Full
Scale points.
3. Set millivolt source to voltage corresponding to Zero Scale value. Adjust source to three decimal
places as read from the digital voltmeter (DVM) connected across millivolt source.
4. Apply power.
5. Read indicated Zero Scale value. Perform either A) or B) and compare the reading to the
specifications in step C).
A) If an optional Digital Meter is installed, read the indicated Zero Scale value.
B) If a Digital Meter is not installed, perform the following:
1) From the MXC, execute the FIND XMTR program.
2) When the MXC finds the transmitter, press the dedicated TRANS VAR'S key on the MXC
and read the displayed value.
C) Accuracy specifications:
TC input ........................... Equal to or less than:
+/-0.2° F type T
+/-0.3° F type E, J
+/-0.4° F type K,R,S,B,N
Equal to or less than +/-0.02% of span. The higher value will be the
accuracy tolerance.
mV input (narrow range) ... Equal to or less than +/-15 microvolts
mV input (wide range) ....... Equal to or less than +/-30 microvolts
Equal to or less than +/-0.02% of span. The higher value will be the
accuracy tolerance.
6. Set millivolt source to voltage corresponding to Full Scale value and check accuracy of indication
against specifications listed in step 5.
If calibration is required, retain test set-up and go to Section 6.1.4.2.
