Product Usage Instructions
Calibration Process:
To recalibrate your 6092N thermometer, follow these steps:
- Ice Water Method:
- Fill a glass with crushed ice and add water until it is just below the surface of the ice.
- Stir the mixture well and let it sit for a few minutes to stabilize the temperature.
- Insert the thermometer probe into the ice water without touching the sides or bottom of the glass.
- Adjust the calibration screw on the thermometer until it reads 32°F (0°C).
- Repeat the process if necessary to ensure accuracy.
- Boiling Point Method:
- Place the thermometer probe in boiling water without touching the sides or bottom of the container.
- Adjust the calibration screw until it reads 212°F (100°C) at sea level.
- Adjust for altitude if necessary based on provided guidelines.
- Repeat the process if needed for accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: When should I recalibrate my thermometer?
A: It is recommended to recalibrate your thermometer regularly, especially if you notice inaccurate readings or after exposure to extreme temperature changes. -
Q: Can I use a different calibration method?
A: While the ice water and boiling point methods are commonly used and recommended, you may consult the manufacturer for alternative calibration procedures specific to your model.
Recalibration instructions for 6092N
- There is a one-point calibration +/- 2° accuracy at dial midpoint, +/- 4° accuracy at range extremes.
- Temperature range is 0° to 220ºF with a degree division of 2°. The blue plastic storage sleeve has a built-in recalibration wrench. Thermometers should be calibrated using either the ice water or boiling point method. The ice water method is more common and should be used unless ice is unavailable.
Ice Water Method
- Create a 50-50 ice and water mixture by filling a deep container with crushed ice, adding clean water to fill the container and stirring well.
- Submerge thermometer stem (including the sensory dimple of a dial stem thermometer) for about 30 seconds – until indicator stops moving. Make sure that the stem does not touch the side or bottom of the container.
Check to see that the temperature is 32 F (0 C).
- If the thermometer does not read 32 F (0 C) and the thermometer has a calibration nut: Do not remove the stem from the container and turn the nut until the thermometer reads 32 F (0 C).
- If the thermometer does not read 32 F (0 C) and the thermometer does not have a calibration nut: Either push the reset button or replace the battery and retest, or replace the thermometer.
Boiling Point Method
Bring a deep container of water to a full rolling boil. Submerge thermometer stem (including the sensory dimple of a dial stem thermometer) for about 30 seconds— until indicator stops moving. Make sure that the stem does not touch the side or bottom of the container.
Check to see that the temperature is 212 F (100 C).
- If the thermometer does not read 212 F (100 C) and the thermometer has a calibration nut : Do not remove the stem from the container and turn the nut until the thermometer reads 212 F (100 C).
- If the thermometer does not read 212 F (100 C) and the thermometer does not have a calibration nut: Either push the reset button or replace the battery and retest, or replace the thermometer.
