8.
Confirm the reading on the multi-meter matches the value in Table 6-3. If more than one reference
temperature is required by your institution, verify using additional calibration verification sticks.

36°C
41°C
9.
If the reference reading on the multi-meter is outside of the acceptable limits, discontinue use of the
temperature monitoring system. Contact 3M technical support.
If the reference reading on the multi-meter is within acceptable limits, continue with verifying the resistance
of the verification stick(s) (if required by your institution).
Optional: Verify resistance of verification stick
Note: Verifying the resistance of the verification stick requires a high precision multi-meter. Specification of
multi-meter must be able to read 0.01% of reading + 0.001% of range at 5½ digits of resolution.
1.
Set the multi-meter to the 10,000 ohm range.
Note: Zero the multi-meter as necessary for all
resistance measurements.
2.
Hold the digital multi-meter leads to pads one and
three (see Figure 6-2).
3.
Confirm the reading on the multi-meter matches the
value in Table 6-4: Resistance.
