To calibrate proceed with the following steps:
1. A hidden Calibration Button is located on the front overlay underneath the ThermoProbe logo (see diagram above).
While the instrument is on, first press and hold the "f" Button, and then press and hold the hidden Calibration Button until the
display scrolls through the options
buttons.
The Calibration Mode can be exited in two ways. If the user is not ready to enter the calibration mode, the
chosen. If a user needs to end a calibration before completing it then STEP 3 below provides an option to safely exit the operation
and revert to previously stored calibration values.
2. The device is now in calibration mode.
The last character on the right side of the LCD will now be blinking "A" representing the lowest temperature calibration point.
"b" = the next higher temperature point
"C" = the next higher temperature point (only used in 3-point calibration or 4-point calibration mode)
"d" = the highest temperature point (only used in 4-point calibration mode)
While at each temperature calibration point the arrows will flash 3 times when the temperature reading stabilizes.
Calibration can be performed to hundredths of a degree.
The "On" Button increases the display reading, the "f" Button decreases the display reading.
Holding the "On" Button or the "f" Button adjusts 0.1 degrees increments.
Momentary Presses of the "On" Button or the "f" Button for less than 0.5 seconds adjusts 0.01 degrees for every press.
When you leave calibration mode the display remains in hundredths for that session only to allow you to re-check the temperatures.
Once you have turned the device off, the display will only show in tenths.
3. Once the temperature has stabilized, using a certified reference device check the actual temperature in the bath and use the "On"
Button or the "f" Button to adjust the device to the actual temperature. The "On" button will decrement the readings and the "f"
Button will increment the reading. Once the device temperature matches the actual temperature, press the Calibration Button to
save the setting. The display will scroll "SAUE" or "CAnCEL". If the "SAUE" option is chosen the blinking letter will change to
represent the next temperature level
prior calibration values are re-activated.
4. Move the probe to the next bath and repeat step 3. After you save the highest temperature point the display will flash "rEAdY"
and the new calibration settings will be in effect. The buttons will now resume their normal operating functions. The calibration
settings are saved to flash memory when the device is turned off. The unit will not turn off automatically, manually turning the unit
off saves the calibration data.
Ensure that your calibration efforts are saved by shutting the instrument off now.
Calibration Error Codes
1.
nO CAL
- This is seen after the instrument is turned on when no calibration data has been saved yet. The device must be
calibrated before using.
2.
CAL Err2
- This is seen after the instrument is turned on when there is a flash memory error or the calibrations data is corrupted.
When this error is displayed the device will inaccurately display temperatures without using any calibration data. This error probably
indicates a device error. The user should contact the distributor or ThermoProbe, Inc.
3.
CAL Err3
- This is seen after the instrument is turned on when calibrations data reads OK, but is invalid. This could be an error in
calibrating the device. When this error is displayed the device will read temperatures without using any calibrations data. This error
could occur as a result of not saving the low or mid temperature before moving the device to the next bath during calibration. The
device should be recalibrated.
