shipped. This test subset may be changed by AR, depending upon the calibration performance history on this 
type of probe kit. To obtain a quotation and arrange for calibration, contact AR.  

AR recommends a one year calibration interval (beginning after the date of shipment) of the probe kit. 

4.7  UPGRADE POLICIES 

Probe kit firmware is periodically upgraded to enhance functionality.  Contact AR Customer Service to check 
on the upgrade status for your probe(s).
