Why Do You Need to Re-Calibrate?

Over time, due to natural wear and tear, temperature sensors lose their pinpoint accuracy. Environmental factors such as dust, dirt, and humidity can negatively affect a sensor’s accuracy. This is called drift. These devices won’t read 95°F in a refrigerator that feels cool, but they may be off by a few degrees. For many applications, this small difference matters. When you calibrate your device you are accounting for the natural drift of the sensor.
