Page 25: Scan
9132 Portable IR Calibrator User’s Guide Scan The scan rate can be set and enabled so that when the set-point is changed the dry-well heats or cools at a specified rate (degrees per minute) until it reaches the new set-point. With the scan disabled the dry-well heats or cools at the maximum possible rate. -

Temperature Scale Units To toggle between °C and °F, press the “SET” and “UP” keys simultaneously when the temperature is displayed. - Page 27 9132 Portable IR Calibrator User’s Guide set-point. This range of temperature is called the proportional band. At the bot- tom of the proportional band the heater output is 100%. At the top of the pro- portional band the heater output is 0. Thus as the temperature rises the heater power is reduced, which consequently tends to lower the temperature back down.

Page 36: Calibration Procedure
9 Calibration Procedure Calibration Points Calibration Procedure Sometimes the user may want to calibrate the instrument to improve the tem- perature set-point accuracy. Calibration is done by adjusting the controller probe calibration constants R0, ALPHA, and DELTA so that the temperature of the dry-well as measured with a standard thermometer agrees more closely with the set-point. -

Factory Reset Sequence. Hold the SET and EXIT buttons down at the same time while powering up the instrument. After the instrument displays -init-, release the buttons. The display shows -init-, then displays 9132, and then displays the firmware version. After performing the master reset sequence, all of the configuration parameters are reset to their default values. -
