5.2 TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
To maintain system accuracy, the following two temperature probes should be calibrated periodically.
The temperature probe calibrations should be performed as a system. The probes will be removed from
the insertion points of the CGS-240 but will remain connected to the electrical system. Both probes can be
run simultaneously.
Required Equipment
• Temperature readout with 0.01 °C or better resolution, temperature standard (SPRT
recommended) ± 0.03 °C or better accuracy.
• Temperature calibration bath, detailed in section 5.
• 7/16” deep access T-wrench (supplied with the system).
Adjustment is performed by altering the coefficient values to the CVD equation:
R = R0(1 + aT + bT
2
+ c(T-100)T

)
Default (uncalibrated) Temperature Coefficients and Expected Coefficient Ranges (post-adjustment):
Exponent of coefficient c should be no larger than E-10. For
example, coefficients of E-10, E-11, E-12 and so on, are
acceptable, but E-9 would be outside of the acceptable range.
