ISOCON-6 24V AC or DC POWERED ISOLATING SIGNAL CONVERTER ISOCON-6 USERS GUIDE 5. CALIBRATING THE ISOCON: When the unit is shipped the ISOCON will be calibrated for the input and output types and ranges noted on the side label. If this label is blank then the unit will be calibrated for 4-20mA input and 4-20mA source output. -
Page 14: Installation
ISOCON-6 24V AC or DC POWERED ISOLATING SIGNAL CONVERTER ISOCON-6 USERS GUIDE When the unit is used to convert a thermocouple input it is important when calibrating to ensure that the thermocouple simulator employed is switched to automatic cold junction compensation and is at the same ambient temperature as the ISOCON. Note that this is not always easy to achieve, especially if the ISOCON is mounted in a warm cabinet. -
