Calibration
The accuracy of all measuring devices will degrade over time. Calibration improves the
accuracy of the TAP. On this device temperature and pressure can be re-calibrated.
Temperature calibration can be done using two procedures: calibration using ice water
as reference or by using room temperature as reference.
Calibration of temperature clamp
Risk of short circuit. If the electronic components come into contact with
water, short circuits are possible. Don`t dunk the temperature clamp below
max. water level. (See figure below)
Ice water calibration (0 °C / 32 °F)
Risk of short circuit. If the electronic components come into contact with
water, short circuits are possible. Dunk the temperature clamp below max.
water level as shown.
1. Prepare ice water:
Take your time, use lots of ice and stir water often. It can take
up to 15 minutes for the ice water temperature to settle exactly
at 0.0 °C / 32.0 °F Use separate accurate thermometer to
verify water temp.
For best results use an insulated cup, do not let the sensor
tips touch any ice cubes, only the ice water in the top 2-3 cm
of the ice bath after +/- 15 min. Do not touch or hold the
sensor wires.
