Mini Temperature Calibration Bath Operating Instructions
Please read this Manual before using the product. Keep the manual handy for future reference and ensure it is given to anyone who is to use the Bath. Regular calibration (check) of a thermometer is essential to maintain confidence in your readings. The Mini Temperature Calibration Bath provides a handy source of hot and cold water. Description The Mini Temperature Calibration Bath is a simple, easy to use device to aid in the comparison calibration of temperature probes.
Technical Description The bath is used to cool or warm water, in order to provide calibration sources. The bath is a compact, tabletop device, and can cool to approx. 36°F (20°C) less than the ambient temperature, and heat to a temperature of approx. 130°F (56°C). The cooling system is a non-wearing, CFC-free, Peltier device. The excess heat is discharged by a fan. Operation The bath is used to provide both cold and warm water as a source for comparison calibration of thermometer probes.
Calibration Procedure • Place the Reference Thermometer Probe, and the instrument probe that you wish to compare, together into the Calibration Cup. • Allow both temperature readings to stabilize – this will depend on the speed of response of both instruments. • Slight agitation will assist with the speed of response. • When the readings have stabilized, compare the readings of the two (or more) instruments. • They should read the same, or be within an acceptable tolerance.
