Operation

Operation

Operation

Operation:  The Instruments and Replaceable Sensor models listed above were specifically 
designed to work together.  No other sensors will work with the Instrument models listed.  No 
other Instrument will work with the Replaceable Sensors listed.  The Replaceable Sensor must be 
connected to the Instrument for the Instrument to operate properly. 
 
Calibration

Calibration

Calibration

Calibration:  Only the Replaceable Sensor is calibrated.  The sensor, and all calibration defaults 
and adjustments are stored on the Replaceable Sensor.  Accuracy is strictly controlled by the 
sensor – no adjustments are made by the Instrument.  Readings are sent from the Replaceable 
Sensor to the Instrument for storage purposes only.  Certificates of Calibration / NISTs are only 
supplied for the Replaceable Sensor for this reason.   
 
Recalibration

Recalibration

Recalibration

Recalibration:  When a Replaceable Sensor is due for recalibration the existing Replaceable Sensor 
can be replaced with a new Replaceable Sensor thus eliminating the need to return the entire 
instrument for recalibration.  Replaceable Sensors can be returned for recalibration as well.
