9. Performance Testing
The recommended Calibration Interval is two years. Performance Testing should
be performed at a temperature of 20 - 25 C and (20 to 80) % RH Humidity.
The LT51 should be adjusted as specified in the Adjustment Procedure if
performance testing reveals any measurement to be out of specification.
NOTE: Warm-up Time
When adjusting or calibrating the LT51Transmitter, the LT51 should be
configured to transmit a tone at 10 kHz, 0 dBm for a period equal to the
automatic switchoff time for the LT51. Thereafter, the LT51 should be
turned back on, and the adjustment or calibration commenced.
