Specifications and Regulatory Information
This chapter lists specification and characteristics of the instrument. The dis-
tinction between these terms is described as follows:
• Specifications describe warranted performance over the temperature range
0°C to +45°C and relative humidity <95% (unless otherwise noted). All speci-
fications apply after the instrument's temperature has been stabilized after 15
minutes of continuous operation.
• Characteristics provide useful information by giving functional, but nonwar-
ranted, performance parameters. Characteristics are printed in italics.
Calibration cycle
This instrument requires periodic verification of performance. The instrument
should have a complete verification of specifications at least once every two
years.
