Taking care of a thermistor is important to ensure that they run correctly. When a thermistor malfunctions and gives inaccurate readings, it can have detrimental performance results. Below, we want to go over several precautions to ensure the safe use of thermistors.
STORAGE
When storing thermistors , you need to do so in the original packaging. Before storing, you should not open the package. Store devices in rooms that have a temperature range of 25 °C - +45 °C. The relative humidity should be ≤75% annual mean, but no more than 95%. It is important to keep in mind that dew precipitation is inadmissible. Lastly, always make sure to keep thermistors away from harmful environments that will negatively affect the thermistor's long-term operations.
MOUNTING
Never scratch the electrode (before, during, and after the mounting process). When mounting a thermistor, make sure first to clean the housing and contacts used for assembly. You must be especially keen on getting rid of all oil and grease. Make sure to remove all foreign bodies between the thermistor and clamp contact because it will affect performance and readings.
OPERATION
All thermistors are designed to work within a designated temperature range. If you want accurate readings and performance, you need to ensure thermistors meet the accurate operating range. The same applies to the current and voltage range. Environmental conditions can harm a thermistor's performance, so make sure to use the devices only in regulated atmospheric conditions. You should also avoid using devices in deoxidizing gases,
