2 Getting
started
Please read the user manual carefully for your own,
and the environments safety. Please pay special
attention to chapter 3 safety.
*If your probe has another diameter than those
supplied, use an insert adapter, drilled to the correct
diameter.
Please refer to chapter 6 “How to use the calibrator”
for more information..
2 Make sure the calibrator well and the probe being calibrated is clean.
3 Place the probe in an appropriate hole in the insert*.
4 Turn on the calibrator.
5 The calibrator display will show the actual well temperature, and the set point.
Default value is 25°C. Temperature unit is set to °C. See chapter 6 for switching the
display to °F.
6 Press the up and down buttons multiple times in order to set the desired
calibration temperature (set point). Press and hold one of the buttons to count up or
down. If the buttons are held continuously, the counting speed will increase.
The set point is active immediately after button is released.
8 When both the calibrator and calibration object is stable, note both readings.
9 Proceed to the next calibration point with the up/down buttons and repeat
point 5 to 8.
10 When all desired calibration points are completed, set the set point to 25°C and
let the well temperature decrease to a temperature below 50°C before storing the
calibrator.
11 File the calibration data.
1 Make sure the supply voltage is in accordance with the description on the label.
7 Let the temperature reach and stabilize at the set point. Check both the calibrator and
calibration object to determine if the temperature is stable.

3 Safety
Incorrect use of dry well calibrators like the TC65/TC15 can be hazardous. Severe burns or
fire may easily be the result of incorrect use. Make sure that the assigned operator has the
required skills to operate the calibrator. Local fire and safety instructions may apply to the
use of instruments like the TC65/TC15.
The well can reach up to 650°C for TC65 and 150°C for TC15. This temperature will
certainly cause burns and fire if something gets into the well. Ensure that the workspace
around and above the TC65/ TC15 is free from loose materials that can catch fire. There
should be at least 1m of clearance to a non-flammable material above the well. Do not
use liquid in the inserts.
NEVER REMOVE HOT PROBES OR INSERTS FROM THE WELL. Allow time to cool down the
probe and insert before removing and storing.
Never remove the cover of the calibrator unless you are a qualified service technician.
High voltages and temperatures will be exposed.
Always ensure that the air inlet in the bottom of the TC65/TC15 is free and not clogged
by dust. Ensure that the fan is running. If not, do not use the TC65/TC15 as it will over-
heat and create a potential danger. Return the TC65/TC15 for repair. Ensure that the
TC65/TC15 and especially the well, is clean and free for dust before use.
Do not use oil in the well to get better thermal contact. If your unit has been filled with
oil, thoroughly clean the well for all traces of oil. Fumes from heated oil can be
dangerous. Health damages, fire and explosion could be the result. Oil remains can also
create a carbon buildup in the well (at high temperatures) that is nearly impossible to
remove. This will also affect the measurement.
WARNING!
If a wet object is inserted into a heated well, the TC65/TC15 may explode! The well can
act as a launching tube for the probe and insert if undesired liquids or materials gets into
the well.
Never leave a powered calibrator. Always work with the calibrator on a sturdy
workspace. In addition to the listed safety concerns, always add a good portion of
common sense to catch up unpredictable safety risks.

4 Why
calibrate?
The definition of the term “calibration” is:
To determine the difference between the object being
calibrated with a known reference and knowing the
uncertainty in the process.
Adjusting the calibrated object in order to remove the
error is of secondary importance as long as the error
is either within acceptable limits or the error is used to
calculate the real value.
Calibration is an important part of any quality
insurance routines. When a calibration routine is
created, all aspects are taken into consideration by
qualified personal so when an operator is making
calibrations later, the process is done the same way
every time and ensuring that the results are
comparable and reliable.
By documenting the process and results, you are
making the whole process traceable. This way a lot of
human errors can be eliminated.
Good quality is to achieve the accuracy you need and
not far beyond. If your demand is to keep the
temperature in you process within e.g. 300 to 310°C,
define your accuracy to 305 +/-5°C. The example
applies for TC65.
Your calibration process should now ensure that your
temperature instrument is within these limits and not
necessarily the peak performance of the specifications
of the instrument. A good rule of thumb is to double
the accuracy demand for your calibration compared to
the process accuracy demand. This leaves the accuracy
demand for your calibration in the range of +/-2,5°C.
The whole chain of elements involved in the
calibration process creates errors in the final reading.
In this matter’s errors are expressed as uncertainty.
Take the following elements into account when
considering the total uncertainty:
• Temperature drift in the calibrator
• Temperature drift in the calibrated instrument
• Temperature gradients in the calibrator well
• Differences in gradients caused by variance in
probe mass (calibration object)
• Inaccuracy in the calibrator
• Inaccuracy in the calibration object
• Variance in thermal contact between the probe
being calibrated and the calibrator well
• Reading error (if analog scale on the calibrating
object)
Remember all these elements are NOT added to
calculate final uncertainty. In real life there is not likely
that all uncertainty elements will be at the maximum
and in the same direction simultaneously! Therefore,
another way of calculation is used.
