RTD Calibration
The RTD provided onboard confirms to IEC-70651 class B standards. A class-B RTD conforms to
the following tolerance specifications.
Tolerance = 0.30 + 0.005|t|
This means replacing one RTD with another of the same part number causes a maximum error of
0.3 °C at 0 °C and 0.8 °C at 100 °C. Calibrating the RTD can help avoid this error.
describes the calibration details.
The calibration steps for the RTD are as follows:
1. Scroll down to the
Calibrate RTD
