The sensor must be heat sunk through the frame it is mounted to. When a sensor is properly
heat sunk, the difference between ambient temperature and the temperature reported in the
sensor's health channel is less than 15° C.
Gocator sensors are high-accuracy devices. The temperature of all of its components must be
in equilibrium. When the sensor is powered up, a warm-up time of at least one hour is required
to reach a consistent spread of temperature within the sensor.
