    110A The operating temperature of the instrument itself can affect accuracy. The accuracy figures given above are for an instrument operating in the range of 18°C to 28°C (65°F to 82°F). For operating environments between -10°C and 18°C (14°F and 65°F) and between 28°C and 50°C (82°F and 122°F), a temperature coefficient of less than ±0.015°C/°C (±0.015°F/°F) can be expected.
  • Page 12: Verification Procedure

    110A WARNING The information in this section is intended only for qualified service personnel. Before removing the back cover to service the instrument, disconnect the temperature probe. VERIFICATION PROCEDURE Performance verification is performed by connecting known, precise resistors to the instrument in place of a temperature probe and checking to see that the displayed reading falls within a prescribed range.
  • Page 13 NOTE If the instrument is still under warranty (less than 12 months since the date of shipment), and it does not meet specifications after calibration, contact your TEGAM Dis- tributor or the factory to determine the correct course of action.
