Note:Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensing portion may change the resistance value.
When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.
Tip:As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (See the graph).
If the result is not as specified, replace the No. 1 cooler thermistor.
