How to Calibrate TCR-M Temperature Controller Using a Potentiometer

This article walks you through the process of calibrating the TCR-M temperature controller using a potentiometer and verifying its output function. Precise calibration ensures the controller performs reliably in industrial applications.


The TCR-M Temperature Controller is a reliable solution for precise thermal control in industrial systems. For engineers and technicians, proper calibration using a potentiometer is essential to ensure accuracy and performance.


In this video, we demonstrate how to calibrate the TCR-M temperature controller using a DC potentiometer.
You'll learn how to simulate analog input, adjust PV values, set target temperatures (SV), and test relay output (OUT) to ensure reliable control performance.


Key Steps Covered:

• Potentiometer connection and adjustment
• PV and SV alignment
• Relay output triggering and verification
• Practical usage tips


Applications of TCR-M with Manual Calibration

  • Manual testing in heating press systems
  • Custom analog control setups (using resistance or voltage input)
  • Field repair and debugging without thermocouple or RTD
  • R&D labs testing relay triggering thresholds
