Issue
What is the best method for calibrating a thermistor?
Product Line
Andover ContinuumEnvironment
- All CX controller
- All i2 devices
- All b3 devices
- Input Temperature sensors
- Thermistors
Cause
There is no documentation that details how to calibrate a Continuum sensor.
Resolution
There is no requirement to calibrate a Continuum Thermistor sensor, Thermistors are factory trimmed to provide an accurate temperature / resistance curve to within the tolerances defined in the datasheet.
One exception to this could be if the connecting cable was of excessive length to add additional impedance to the circuit, in this situation the input point conversion line could be used to subtract an offset:
Enter "ElecValue - x" where x is a factor to compensate for the cable impedance.
See How to add an offset to a sensor reading for further information
