      Standard Resistance 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1-2 Approx. 20°C (68°F) 2.32 k to 2.59 kΩ
      1-2 Approx. 80°C (176°F) 0.310 k to 0.326 kΩ

      If the result is not as specified, replace the sensor.

      NOTE: When checking the sensor in water, keep the terminals dry. After the check, wipe the sensor dry.

      HINT:
