Keypad Temperature Calibration

[nov0798]

DOes anyone know if its possible to calibrate the temp sensor built into the Elk keypad? I think mine shows alot hotter than it actually is.

Thanks

Yup.

M1KP Temp Sensor Calibration - It may be necessary to re-calibrate the temp sensor for certain locations.
1.Press and hold the " * " key, followed by the F5 key ** . HOLD BOTH keys pressed for 5-10 secs or until the LCD displays
Exit when done. F1 Set Addr. (This is Keypad setup mode)
** Alternate Method: Hold any key pressed while applying power to the keypad.
2.Press the F2 key and the LCD will display: Temperature Degrees F = XX.X (This is the current temperature)
3.Use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to adjust the temp display until it approximates the desired setting. Each press changes
the setting by approximately 3 tenths of a degree (00.3)
4.Press the Exit key twice do return back to the regular operation mode.

I find I'm always changing the calibration factor... temperature always seems to be off by a few degrees.

What id the reference designator of the temperature sensing resistor/diode/IC in a ELK-M1KP? I'd like to extend the leads and mount it outside the keypad.

Just wanted to say thanks for this thread! Just used it worked great.
