Introduction
The 9600 Plus Calibration Tester verifies calibration of the
following thermometers:
• Welch Allyn SureTemp®models (678, 678 OEM, 679 and
986)
• Welch Allyn SureTemp®Plus models (690, 692 and 692
OEM)
• Braun ThermoScan®Pro 3000, Pro 4000, and Pro 6000
The 9600 Plus Calibration Tester provides a tightly regulated
temperature source that eliminates the setup, precision
calibration, and maintenance requirements of water baths and
other general purpose calibration equipment. The user takes
the “temperature” of the 9600 Plus Calibration Tester with the
knowledge and assurance that precise readings are obtained
because the unit is factory calibrated to National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) or equivalent devices.User
adjustments are not required or recommended.
The “blackbody” of the 9600 Plus Calibration System acts as
a heat reservoir for the thermistor probe and as a heat
radiator for the infrared ear thermometers.
The unit contains solid-state circuitry for long-term stability
with minimal maintenance. Welch Allyn uses only precision
components in the construction of the 9600 Plus Calibration
Tester. To maintain traceability to NIST or equivalent, return
the 9600 Plus Calibration Tester to the factory for annual
calibration.

Temperature in the upper left corner of the LCD.
Current Cavity Temperature
The current temperature of the 9600 Plus Calibration Tester is
indicated by the large numbers in the center of the display
(Figure 1).
As the device is transitioning to the current Calibration Set Point
Temperature, the actual temperature flashes on the display.
When the device reaches the Calibration Set Point Temperature,
the temperature in the center of the display stops flashing.
Temperature Units
The 9600 Plus Calibration Tester is capable of displaying the
temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Set Point Mode
The LCD will display either a "D" (Default) or "L" (Last Used) in the
upper left hand corner (Figure 1). The 9600 Plus Calibration
Tester has two set point modes of operation. The Default mode
(from the factory) causes the 9600 Plus Calibration Tester to heat
up to the lowest set point (36.0°C / 96.8°F) upon startup. The Last
Used mode causes the 9600 Plus Calibration Tester to heat up to
the last temperature setting that was used.
To change the Set Point Mode, press and hold the C/F and Arrow
buttons below the LCD display simultaneously until a single audio
beep is heard. A “D” or an “L” will appear in the upper left corner
of the display for the new mode.

Power On Sequence
The 9600 Plus Calibration Tester receives power from a wall-
mount power pack that plugs into the back of the unit. There is
no ON/OFF switch. On power up, the 9600 Plus Calibration
Tester performs internal self-checks, displays an all-segments
test pattern, beeps and displays the device’s current
temperature. The 9600 Plus Calibration Tester immediately
applies heat, if needed, to reach the selected Calibration Set
Point Temperature.

Operation
9600 Plus Calibration Tester Setup
Place the 9600 Plus Calibration Tester on a level surface away
from sunlight, drafts, and other sources of heat or cold. The
9600 Plus Calibration Tester takes approximately 20 minutes
to heat to the lowest setting. When testing several
thermometers at all three temperatures, it is recommended
to test all probes at one Calibration Set Point Temperature
before proceeding to the next Calibration Set Point
Temperature. To further expedite testing start at the lowest
Calibration Set Point Temperature. The 9600 Plus Calibration
Tester does not have an internal fan, causing the cool down
time to be greater than the time it takes to heat up.
Changing the Calibration Set Point
Temperature
To scroll from one set point to the next, press and hold the
