rected. In such a case, the probe must be sent to your authorized distributor or
directly to Fischer for repair.
9.1 Overview of calibration methods
Zero (zero point, calibration step Zero)
This is the simplest type of calibration and is used to calibrate the measuring system
to a reference point, which is called zero here (zero point).
Zero + 1 standard (calibration steps Zero and Std. 1)
A calibration using a calibration standard achieves the best measurement accuracy
in a narrow measurement range around the stated nominal standard value. The cal-
ibration method Zero + 1 standard can be used only in the lower measurement range
of the gauge.
You can find the values available for the calibration standard in the probe data sheet.
Zero + 2 standards (calibration steps Zero, Std. 1 and Std. 2)
On the one hand, a calibration with 2 calibration standards achieves the best mea-
surement accuracy in the measurement range that is limited by the two calibration
standard values; on the other hand, however, 2 calibration standards are needed to
calibrate the upper measurement range of the connected probe.
Zero + 3 standards (calibration steps Zero, Std. 1, Std. 2 and Std 3)
A calibration with 3 calibration standards achieves the best measurement accuracy
in the measurement range that is limited by the highest and lowest calibration stan-
dard value.
