Calibration of the cold junction sensor<br />

<strong>PC3000</strong> <strong>Installation</strong><br />

4 Channel Analogue Input Module<br />

The Cold Junction Sensor is calibrated on one range only, normally the 10mV range.<br />

The millivolt input must have been calibrated prior to this process.<br />

A reference thermocouple or a temperature compensated millivolt source may be<br />

used to provide a known ‘hot junction’ temperature. This data is then used to<br />

compute the cold junction sensor calibration data. The parameter Lin_Type must be<br />

set to match the required thermocouple type and the parameter Input_Type should be<br />

set to the appropriate millivolt range prior to calibration. It is calibrated in the factory<br />

using type ‘K’ thermocouple. It is recommended that calibration is performed using<br />

this sensor type, although other sensor types may be selected as required.<br />

If a temperature compensated source such as the Eurotherm Controls 239 is<br />

employed, this must be connected to the wiring terminals using thermocouple<br />

extension cable appropriate to the sensor type selected on the 239. Ensure that both<br />

the extension cable and the sensor type selected on the 239 match the Lin_Type<br />

selected for the module.<br />

The procedure is as follows:<br />

(1) Ensure that the following parameters are reset to their default values:<br />

Parameter Value<br />

Filter_Time 0s<br />

Pre_Scaler 1<br />

Pre_Offset 0<br />

Post_Scaler 1<br />

Post_Offset 0<br />

(2) Set the 239 to the correct number of millivolts for the equivalent hot junction<br />

temperature e.g 60°C. Alternatively an ice cell may be used.<br />

(3) Enter the temperature of the ice cell or 239 equivalent millivolt signal into the<br />

parameter, Cal_CJC_P.<br />

(4) Allow 15 seconds for the input voltage to be averaged. Note that if the prescribed<br />

time is not allowed, and the next step is performed before the input has been<br />

averaged, the resultant calibration may be in error.<br />
