As with any measuring instrument, they need to be calibrated regularly to ensure they are working accurately and reliably – lack of calibration, or inaccurate calibration, can have serious consequences. Calibrating a temperature switch is different from calibrating a temperature sensor or transmitter, for example. In this video, Sebastian will step-by-step show you how to automatically calibrate a temperature switch and sensor. We hope you will find it useful! The [Beamex MC6-T](https://www.beamex.com/calibrators/beamex-mc6-t/) is an extremely versatile portable automated temperature calibration system. It combines a state-of-the-art temperature dry-block with Beamex MC6 multifunction process calibrator and communicator technology.
