Check the cabinet temperature by using an accurate hand-held dial or digital thermometer placed next to the thermometer sensing bulb (located in the upper right hand corner of the cabinet). If the dial thermometer on the cabinet grill matches the test thermometer (+/-10F), do not adjust. If temperatures do not match (+/-10F), remove the dial thermometer lens with a small screwdriver. To adjust the temperature needle, insert a small screwdriver in the slotted screw on the needle.

If food is taking longer to cook than it used to or if your thermometer is showing 200 degrees before you even start the fire, then there is a very good chance that your thermometer is out of calibration. If you think you are cooking at 250 degrees but are actually cooking at 200 degrees due to a mis-calibrated thermometer, food is going to take much longer to cook that you expect. The dial to the BGE thermometer will rotate if you hold the stem and then twist the dial. See similar questions...

Victory's digital display thermometers have a sensing range of -40°F to 220°F, which allows it to be used in a wide variety of applications. Setting the alarm control properly is accomplished by installing the jumper on the "HI" (high temperature alert for refrigerators and freezers) or "LO" (low temperature alert for warmers) pin. Note: The digital thermometer has a built-in delay that displays changes every two (2) minutes. See similar questions...

Sure, every module that requires calibration comes with calibration instructions. Usually this takes a good frequency counter, volt meter (4+ digits), oscilloscope, and a precise voltage source (+/-1mv). All modules are calibrated before shipping with very accurate test equipment so you don't have to worry about this, but many people like to know what all of those trim-pots are for on the PCB. Many modules require no calibration at all. See similar questions...

Calibration is like buying a watch and setting the time for the first time. Glucose sensors are similar in nature. To initialize a glucose sensor, you need to enter a meter reading to give the system a starting point. And, just as a watch needs to be adjusted occasionally, so does a glucose sensor. You need to enter at least two meter readings a day – once every 12 hours. See similar questions...

The Omron Instant Ear Thermometer is hospital tested and meets the American Society for Testing and Materials accuracy requirement. For the measurement range of 98.0º to 102.0º F the accuracy is +/- 0.2ºF. See similar questions...

The MiniMed Paradigm REAL-Time System must be calibrated a minimum of twice a day (once every 12 hours). This is done by entering a fingerstick value into the insulin pump. However for best results, the System should be calibrated 3 to 4 times per day, with the calibrations spread throughout the day at periods when glucose is not changing rapidly.

Wipe the casing with a soft dry cloth to clean the body of the thermometer. Never use any abrasive type cleaners or submerge the thermometer in water or any other liquids. Do not expose the thermometer to extreme temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight or shock. Always store your thermometer in a clean, dry place at room temperature. Fingerprints, ear wax or dirt will impede the accuracy of the thermometer. See similar questions...

The Omron Instant Ear Thermometer detects the infrared heat given off by the eardrum and surrounding tissues. It converts this heat into an equivalent oral temperature in one second. See similar questions...

The temperature taking technique is the general cause for a low reading. We recommend that you practice using the ear thermometer on yourself and other family members when you are healthy. This will improve your technique and you will feel more confident of the measurement you take when someone is ill. Completely read the instruction manual. A low reading can be caused by an ear infection. See similar questions...

No, you can not calibrate the logger yourself. It must be returned to Marathon for calibration. However, some of our larger customers who have metrology laboratories check the logger's calibration against a reference standard in lieu of returning it to Marathon. This depends on your Quality Control procedures. Some companies write into their Standard Operating Procedures that all measuring and controlling instruments must be checked for calibration every 6 or 12 months. See similar questions...
