  • Page 9: Introduction

    Introduction The DTI (Digital Temperature Indicator) system is designed for fast and traceable calibration. The system is portable. The DTI is prepared for re-calibration by your local calibration laboratories, and all necessary instructions for the re-calibration is stated in this manual. The DTI is a precision instrument and to achieve the precision, a set of sensor coefficients relating to the specific sensor must be present in the DTI.

  • Page 33: Adjusting And Calibrating The Instrument

    Adjusting and calibrating the instrument You are advised to return the DTI-1000 A/B to AMETEK Denmark A/S or an accredited laboratory at least once a year for calibration. Alternatively you can calibrate/adjust the DTI-1000 A/B yourself using the AmeTrim-ATC/DTI Adjust and Calibration software. AmeTrim- ATC/DTI also supports DTI-100 and DTI-1000 manufactured in 1996 or later or with firmware version 1.60 or later.

  • Page 34: Installing The Ametrim-Atc/Dti Software

    PC hardware requirements • IBM compatible PC with 486 or higher processor (Pentium MHz recommended). • 32 MB of RAM (64 MB recommended). • 4 MB available hard-disk space. • Standard VGA monitor (800 x 600, 256 colours), (1024 x 768 recommended).

  • Page 35: Starting The Ametrim-Atc/Dti Software

    8.2.2 Starting the AmeTrim-ATC/DTI Software Note… Before starting this software, the PC and the ATC/DTI must be connected together and the indicator switched on (see section 8.2.1). The ATC must not be performing any tasks like switch test, auto step or workorders. That means that the ATC must be in the main menu before starting the software.
  • Page 36 In the main menu select “Run Program” to start the calibration. Select “DTI” and “Comport” in the “Device Quick Connect” dialog box and press “Connect”. If the DTI is not switched on or is not connected to the selected port, then the software returns to the AmeTrim adjustment software main menu.
