5 Troubleshooting

5.1 Troubleshooting
If the probe appears to function abnormally, it could be caused by
several possible problem conditions that are described in this section.
Try the solutions recommended and if the problems are still not
solved, contact manufacture for warranty or repair service. Be sure to
have the model number and serial number of your probe available.

5.2 Problem Causes and Solutions

a. Data changes greater than 0.1°C. This is likely cause by
mechanical shocks. Measure the R0 of the probe to verify.
b. Data unstable at the Ice Point (R0). This is likely cause by bad
connections. If the connector appears to be in good condition
and the connections are good, the PRT may be damaged.
c. Data unstable at high temperatures. It is likely caused by
electrical noise in the system. Reduce the temperature and
observe the data. If it is stable, electrical noise is interfering with
the measurements at high temperatures. Use a ground wire to
reduce the electrical noises.
