CALIBRATION    
KT8P0/2/3:   

The R400 Replaceable Sensor was carefully tested and calibrated before being shipped 
from the factory. For greatest accuracy, we recommend replacing the sensor every 6-12 
months (does not include N400 and N450). 
 
To order a Calibrated Replacement Sensor Call customer service at (630) 543-3747 or go 
to www.dicksondata.com. 
 
When your new Replaceable Sensor arrives, simply turn off the recorder, remove and 
discard the old sensor, plug in the new one and power the recorder back on.  Your 
recorder will continue to record temperature and humidity without interruption.   
 

KT856: 

The KT856 was carefully tested and calibrated before being shipped from the factory.  For 
greatest accuracy, we recommend factory re-calibration every 6-12 months.  Call 
customer service at (630) 543.3747.

If you have an accurate standard to compare against, the Replaceable Sensor or unit (KT856) 
calibration can be adjusted at one point.  This will not adjust the span and is not as accurate as 
replacing the Replaceable Sensor with a newly calibrated one, or returning the KT856 for 
recalibration.
