OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CALIBRATE THERMOCOUPLE INPUTS

Choose this function to simulate a thermocouple signal into any instrument requiring a thermocouple input. The output of the 830- KP is automatically cold junction compensated.

1)Disconnect the thermocouple from the instrument being calibrated.

2)Press the T/C/RTD/Ω pushbutton until the word TYPE & any T/C appear on the display.

3)Press the DISPLAY/SOURCE/READ push-button until SOURCE and any T/C TYPE appear on the display

4)Use the proper thermocouple wire and corresponding miniature T/C connector to connect TechChek 830-KP to the thermocouple.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CALIBRATE RESISTANCE INPUTS

Choose this function to simulate a resistance into a variety of instruments.

1)Disconnect one or both input wires from the device to be calibrated

2)Press the T/C/RTD/Ω pushbutton until the Ω symbol appears on the display.

3)Press the DISPLAY/SOURCE/READ push-button until SOURCE appears on the display

4)Connect the red SOURCE lead of the calibrator to the plus (+) input of the device and the black SOURCE lead to the minus (-).

Output resistance is continuously adjustable with the UP/DOWN push-buttons. Zero & Span (or any other values) are available by using the LO and HI "QUIK-CHEKs”.
