  • Page 22: Calibrate And Set Up Sensors

    Calibration Frequency Recommendations In-Situ sensors are factory calibrated across the entire range of each sensor, and thus achieve a very high degree of accuracy and stability for extended periods of time without user calibration. In-Situ recommends inserting the instrument into a known calibration standard to check the accuracy of a sensor prior to performing any user calibration if you suspect drift, unless a user calibration is required by a standard operating procedure.

  • Page 23: Factory Calibration

    Factory calibration includes a thorough cleaning, full functionality check and sensor adjustments to all applicable sensors over the entire calibrated temperature range. We recommend a factory calibration every 12 months or when the unit appears to drift significantly. 800-446-7488 www.in-situ.com...
