9 Calibration PRT and Thermistor Calibration 9 Calibration Each channel of the 1529 is calibrated independently of the other channels and has its own set of calibration parameters. The 1529 should be calibrated at regular intervals to ensure that it continues to measure with proper accuracy. Calibration should only be done by qualified, authorized personnel. When the 1529 is recalibrated, all four channels are calibrated each calibration cycle.
1529 Chub-E4 Thermometer Readout User’s Guide The calibration parameters C0, C100, and C400 can be adjusted to optimize the accuracy. These password-protected parameters are accessed from the CALIBRATION function of the SYSTEM menu. 9.1.2 PRT Calibration Procedure Calibration requires adjustment of the C0, C100, and C400 parameters at three specific input resistances. If the resistances used are approximately 0Ω, 100Ω and 400Ω respectively the adjustments are independent and the procedure is simple.
9 Calibration PRT and Thermistor Calibration 9.1.3 3. Connect a 400Ω resistor (6 ppm accuracy) to the input and measure its resistance. Note the average error in the measurement. Adjust the C400 parameter by subtracting the measured error. For example, if the input is exactly 400.0000Ω and the readout shows 399.9913Ω, adjust the C400 parameter by adding 0.0087. 4. Record the date in the DATE parameter and set the DUE parameter to the desired calibration interval. 5.
1529 Chub-E4 Thermometer Readout User’s Guide 9.2 2. Connect a 10 kΩ resistor (25 ppm accuracy) to the input and measure its resistance. Note the average error in the measurement. Adjust the C10K parameter by subtracting the measured error. For example, if the input is exactly 10.00000 kΩ and the readout shows 10.00295 kΩ, adjust the C10K parameter by subtracting 2.95. 3. Connect a 100 kΩ resistor (25 ppm accuracy) to the input and measure its resistance. Note the average error in the measurement.
