Suspend the sensor [A] in a container of machine oil so that the heat-sensitive portion and threaded portion are submerged.
Suspend an accurate thermometer [B] with heat-sensitive portions [C] located in almost the same depth.

Note. The sensor and thermometer must not touch the container side or bottom.
Place the container over a source of heat and gradually raise the temperature of the oil while stirring the oil gently for even temperature.
Using the hand tester, measure the internal resistance of the sensor across the terminal and the body at the temperatures shown in the table.
★ If the measurement is out of the range, replace the sensor.
