Fluke 9140 9.2.3 Stabilization and Accuracy

WARNING:DO NOT remove inserts when heating or when the unit is

hot.

9.2.3 Stabilization and Accuracy

The stabilization time of the dry-well calibrator will depend on the conditions

and temperatures involved. Typicallythe test well will be stable to 0. 1°C within

5 minutes of reaching the set-point temperature as indicated by the display.Ul-
