Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for determining and/or monitoring temperature of a medium, comprising at least one temperature sensor having at least one sensor element, an electronics unit, an input unit, and a display unit. The electronics unit is embodied to determine and/or to monitor at least the temperature of the medium and to detect whether the temperature sensor is immersed at least partially in at least one comparison medium with known comparison temperature. When the temperature sensor is immersed in a comparison medium the electronics unit performs a comparison measurement for calibrating and/or validating the sensor element. The temperature of the comparison medium is determined in the form of a comparison temperature measured value.
