Operating a Temperature & Process Calibrator

Power On:

  • Ensure the calibrator is connected to a stable power source.
  • Power on the device using the designated switch or button.

Navigation:

  • Familiarize yourself with the user interface on the GAO Tek Temperature & Process Calibrator.
  • Use the menu options to access the desired calibration or measurement functions.

Temperature Calibration:

  • For temperature calibration, connect the calibrator to the sensor under test.
  • Input the reference temperature values and allow the calibrator to adjust accordingly.
  • Monitor and verify the output against the expected readings.

Process Calibration:

  • Connect the calibrator to the process instrument to be calibrated.
  • Input the desired process parameters and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the calibration.
  • Verify the output against the specified values.

Record Keeping:

  • Log all calibration procedures, input values, and results for future reference.
  • Utilize the built-in memory or external storage options, if available, to store calibration records.

 

Maintaining a Temperature & Process Calibrator

Regular Inspection:

  • Periodically inspect the device for any physical damage or wear.
  • Check the connectors and cables for signs of wear or fraying.

Cleaning:

  • Power off the calibrator before cleaning.
  • Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior. For stubborn stains, lightly dampen the cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive materials or liquids that may damage the device.

Calibration Check:

  • Perform a self-calibration or check the calibration against a known reference source.
  • Address any discrepancies immediately and recalibrate if necessary.

 

Calibrating a Temperature & Process Calibrator

Frequency of Calibration:

  • Follow the recommended calibration schedule provided by us.
  • Regularly calibrate the device, especially if it has been subjected to extreme conditions or has not been in use for an extended period.

External Calibration Standards:

  • Use GAO Tek’s recommended external calibration standards for accurate calibration.
  • Ensure that the external standards are themselves calibrated and traceable to national standards.

Adjustment Procedures:

  • Follow the step-by-step adjustment procedures outlined in the GAO Tek Temperature & Process Calibrator user manual.
  • Input the necessary correction values based on the calibration results.

Record Calibration Data:

  • Document all calibration data, including before and after values.
  • Keep detailed records of adjustments made during the calibration process.
