Term “operating temperature” refers to ambient temperature, at which sensor operates and its
intrinsic safety is ensured, but sensor readings variability stated in Table 3 is provided only in specified
temperature range (see Table 5 and Table 6).

To provide metrological properties during sensor lifetime, zeroing and span calibration should be
performed periodically, at least once in 30 months (see Appendix D.1).
