TruAccuracy™ means the Ashcroft E2S has ±0.25% accuracy out of the box. Zero and span setting errors are already included in the ±0.25% accuracy spec. The E2S is ready to be installed with no additional calibration adjustments required. A unit from another manufacturer advertised as ±0.25% best fit straight line may actually be a ±1.25% to ±2.25% device. Using best fit straight line method, the accuracy spec does not include zero and span setting errors, which can be as much as ±1.00% each. What Does It Mean?
