WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE is used during the performance of this
calibration. DEATH ON CONTACT may result if personnel
fail to observe safety precautions.
7. Equipment Setup
a.
Connect autotransformer (A1) to the
power source and
adjust for 115 volts ac.
CAUTION
Throughout this procedure, make sure the TI is deenergized
while connecting or disconnecting a thermistor mount or when
repositioning the MOUNT RES switch.
c. Adjust the TI mechanical zero setscrew clockwise until the pointer is left of zero,
moving up scale. Stop when the pointer indicates zero.
NOTE
If pointer overshoots zero indication during adjustment, repeat
c above.
d. Adjust the zero setscrew approximately 15 degrees counterclockwise to free the
setscrew from the meter movement.
e. If the pointer moves while freeing the setscrew, repeat c and d above.
f. Connect 200-ohm thermistor mount (A8) to the TI, using cable furnished with the TI
and terminate the mount with coaxial termination (B6).
g. On model 431C, set the CALIB FACTOR PERCENT switch to 100 and leave it in
this position for the remainder of the procedure.
