Outside Air Temperature Indicator Calibration: Calibration

The outside air temperature indicator's displayed temperature can be recalibrated 31°C (or} 5 °F) to} meet the client's expectations.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
2. Select the outside air temperature display.
3. Press and hold the SEL/RESET switch until the trip meter resets, then release it. Press, and continue to hold, the switch again, and the display will scroll through temperature settings from 3°C to {3°C (or 5 °F to {5 °F) as shown.

4. When the desired correction value appears on the display, release the button, and the recalibrated outside air temperature will be displayed.

   Example: 

   Incorrect value = 20°C (68 °F) 

   Desired correction value = 1°C ({2°F) { 

   Correct valve = 21°C (70°F) 

   Desired correction value = 1 °C (| 2 °F) | 

   Correct valve = 19°C (66°F) 

   NOTE: To recalibration temperature is not the value the sensor sees. Therefore the temperature can only be adjusted} degrees from the sensor.
   NOTE: To recalibrate the display to the true temperature, remove the outside air temperature sensor (A), but leave it connected. Submerge the sensor and a thermometer (B) in a container of ice water (C). Select the calibration mode as described above, then recalibrate the display to the true temperature.
