Recalibration Procedures

The Series C controller is precalibrated at the factory. Under normal circumstances, the factory calibration should be valid for the life of the instrument. If recalibration should be required, allow the controller to warm up for 15 minutes and follow these steps carefully.

1)Remove power from the controller and disconnect all output devices. Disconnect input. Attach an appropriate calibrator to the input terminals.

2)Apply power to the calibrator, making sure that the dis- played value is not outside the range of the controller. Then, apply power to the controller.

3)Index to the Calibration Low menu item in the Calibration Menu.

(You must have Security Level set to “Factory” to access this menu.)

4)Dial Calibrator to prompted value on the controller’s dis- play. See chart below for RTD resistance vs. temperature values.

5)Allow the controller to settle for at least one minute.

6)Press Raise Key.

7)Repeat Steps 4, 5, and 6 for the Calibration High setting.

8)Press the Menu Access key for three seconds to return to the Process Value display.
