Service and Calibration
The PCMT-8000 has no user serviceable parts
. Under no circumstances should the user attempt to open the
enclosure. If the tester appears to be malfunctioning, contact ATSI to make arrangements for repair. See the
Limited
Warranty and Liability
section of this manual for details.
ATSI strongly recommends that each Tester be calibrated yearly
.
To ensure that your PCMT continues to operate within the manufacturer's specifications, it is important to have it
calibrated once per year.
The calibration service runs a special test program on your PCMT to permit measurement of its voltage outputs, timing
accuracy, and functional responses to verify proper operation. Any departures from current production standards are
corrected back to new-product tolerances.
A calibration report documenting all of these tests is returned with your calibrated PCMT. The annual calibration
certificate compliments your monitor test reports in building a solid case against liability lawsuits. Be sure to keep all of
your calibration certificates in a safe place for easy retrieval If someone brings legal action against your agency.
As a part of the calibration service, a copy of the newest software is provided for each of the owner’s test modules. This
assures that any new program enhancements will be provided, so that new-product performance is assured when your
PCMT is returned.
ATSI is aware that many jurisdictions are reluctant to lose access to their tester for any extended period of time. For this
reason, we attend promptly to testers returned for calibration, and return them in the shortest time consistent with
accurate calibration followed by a continuous test run of at least 24 hours.
