Appendix A. Calibration Certificate

Each CRS451/CRS456 has been calibrated to meet printed accuracy

specification at multiple temperature and pressure ranges. If additional

verification is required, a Calibration Certificate can be purchased for each

CRS451/CRS456 Water-Level Recording Sensor.

The Instrument Data Report provides a list of the pressure and temperature at

which the sensor was tested.

Pressure [kPa] is the pressure applied (listed in kilopascals) to the sensor.

Temperature [°C] is the temperature inside the test chamber at the time of

testing.

Pressure After [kPa] represents the resulting measurement output by

the CRS451/CRS456 at the given pressure and temperature. Finally,

Deviation After [%F.S.] provides the difference between the actual pressure

applied to the sensor and the pressure measurement output by the sensor. This

value is listed as a percentage of the full scale range of the sensor.

When a CRS451/CRS456 is returned to Campbell Scientific for calibration, the

sensor will be returned with an Instrument Data Report. This report will

include values in the

Pressure Before [kPa] column. These values represent

the measured pressure the sensor returns at the specified pressure and

temperature, BEFORE calibration.
