(4) Using the wood end of a cotton tip applicator, daub a small amount of thermal
conducive paste on bottom of HEATER PLATE behind BAR TARGET (fig. 6).
(5) Place tip of thermocouple No. 1 (TC1) in thermal conductive paste against
bottom of HEATER PLATE (INSIDE) BAR TARGET AMBIENT PLATE (fig. 6)
c. Perform steps (1) through (4) below:
(1) Loosen MOUNTING POST CLAMP (fig. 5) which holds LABORATORY CLAMP
(2) Increase tension on thermocouple No. 1 (TC1) to produce a moderate bow in
thermocouple wire by sliding LABORATORY CLAMP (fig. 6) forward (toward temperature
controller) in MOUNTING POST CLAMPS; then tighten MOUNTING POST CLAMPS (fig.
(3) If necessary, physically position thermocouple TC1 on HEATER PLATE to the
(4) Daub a small amount of thermally conductive paste on exterior of TI BAR
TARGET adjacent to placement of TC1 and place tip of thermocouple No. 2 (TC2) in the
d.
Repeat technique of
c(1) through (3) above for thermocouple TC2 (fig. 6).
e.
Connect thermocouple wires to
digital multimeter input
HI (TC1) and input
LO
(TC2) terminals.
