4.6.2 ICE BATH RTD CALIBRATION
Use distilled, deionized water and ice mixture at 0ºC (32ºF) equilibrium for an ice bath.
Ensure temperature with a reference thermometer. Siemens can not assume responsibility for the
incorrect design, construction or operation of an Ice Bath.
NOTE: Factory Calibration provides an additional prompt after a new temperature is entered:
[Are you Sure? No Yes]. It is recommended that you use [User Cal] to avoid alteration
of preset factory calibration.
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW AN RTD SENSOR TO MAKE DIRECT CONTACT
WITH ICE DURING AN ICE BATH CALIBRATION.
