Action

Connect the copper leads to the calibrator.

Disconnect the cold junction resistor.

Install a 500-ohm precision resistor across Input 1 terminals 25 (R) and 27 (–) or Input 2 terminals 22 (R) and 24 (–). See Figure 7-3.

Subtract the millivolt value for 77 °F (25 °C) from the zero and span value for your range (see Table 7-1 for zero and span values) and use the adjusted value when calibrating.
