Topics covered:

• Sanding off oxidation, paint, and rust before clamping your temperature probes for solid pipe contact
• Why five degrees of superheat versus twenty degrees comes down to proper sensor location and contact
• Sealing test holes tightly around the probe stem to stop air leaks from skewing humidity readings
• Avoiding contamination from attic air, crawlspace air, or air outside the building envelope during setup
• How small setup errors can shift your wet bulb temperature and target superheat calculations by several degrees

Getting your Smart Probe Kit dialed in correctly on the front end is what makes the rest of your System Performance Profile trustworthy. Skip these steps, and you’re just guessing with expensive equipment.
