  • Page 30: Calibration Warnings

    The processor will countdown the number of days until calibration is due. The text mm/dd/yyyy shows the month, day, and year that the calibration is due. To avoid being locked out of the processor, WATTS recommends scheduling a calibration as soon as it starts to display this reminder message.

  • Page 31: Temperature Measurements

    Temperature Measurements The processor's temperature sensor is located on the face plate (See page 8). The temperature sensor does not respond immediately to thermal changes. In order to ensure accurate ambient temperature measurements, the processor should be left in the fitting environment for at least 15 minutes.
