3.4.5 Setting the correction factor for sensor T1
We use a TSIC306 temperature sensor for water temperature control.
The TSIC306 has a measuring range from -50 °C to 150 °C with a resolution of
0.1K.
The measuring accuracy is
0.3 K in the range 10 ... 90 °C and
0.5 K outside this range.
The correction factor adjusts the absolute temperature of the sensor to a more accurate referencing instru-
ment.

correction factor (Figure 11).
Figure 11: setting correction factor for sensor T1
One-time short press of the
button increases the correction factor by 0.1 °C.
Pressing and hold down this button increases the correction factor continuously by 0.1 °C.
If you press and hold the button for more than 3 seconds, the step size increases to 1 °C.
This process continues until you either release the button or you reach the maximum permissible value.
