To calibrate temperature, we recommend a mercury or red spirit (fluid) thermometer. Bi-metal (dial) 
and other digital thermometers are not a good source and have their own margin of error. Using a local 
weather station in your area is also a poor source due to changes in location, timing (airport weather 
stations are only updated once per hour) and possible calibration errors (many official weather stations 
are not properly installed and calibrated). 
 
Place  the  sensor  in  a  controlled  environment  next  to  the  fluid  thermometer,  and  allow  the  sensor  to 
stabilize  for  48  hours.  Compare  this  temperature  to  the  fluid  thermometer  and  adjust  the  console  to 
match the fluid thermometer.
