Applies To: 9142-P, 9143-P, and 9144-P Field Metrology Wells
Problem Description: Reference probe is in resistance and needs to be in degrees.
Resolution/Work Around: When using a probe with the 914X-P, the probe should be terminated with an A connector. This is a 6-pin DIN connector that has a memory chip inside. If the termination is correct and the probe is reading resistance, try reprogramming the memory.
The steps are:
Press the Menu button
Press F4 button (Input Setup)
Press F3 button (Ref Input)
Press F1 button (Prog Probe)
Enter password 1234 or one chosen by your company
Press Enter button
Here you will enter the serial number, Cal date, Probe type, and coefficients.
After you are done Press Enter to save the coefficients to the memory.
Note: The probe type is the important feature here. This chooses how the probe is displayed and calculated. Choices are: ITS-90, CVD, IEC-751, or Resistance.
