23 . Warranty: 

 

The  equipment  you  have  purchased  has  been  expertly  designed  and  was  carefully  tested 
and inspected before being shipped. If properly operated in accordance with the instructions 
furnished, it will provide you with excellent service. The equipment is warranted for a period 
of  twelve  (12)  months  from  date  of  purchase  to  be  free  of  defects  in  material  or 
workmanship.  This  warranty  does  not  apply  to  damage  resulting  from  improper  set  up, 
accident, alteration, abuse, loss of parts or repair by other than Jelight Company, Inc.  The 
equipment will be repaired or replaced, at our option, without charge to the owner for parts 
or  labor  incurred  in  such  repair.  This  warranty  shall  not  apply  unless  the  equipment  is 
returned for our examination with all transportation charges prepaid. 
 
 
 

24. Calibration: 

 

Calibration is recommended once every six months. Contact Jelight for assistance. 
 
An  alternative  method  to  verify  calibration  is  to  use  a  second  detector.  One  detector  is  kept 
stored  in  an  out  of  the  way  place  while  the  second  is  used  to  work  with.    Whenever  the 
calibration  of  the  "work"  detector  is  to  be  checked  or  is  in  question,  the  "stored"  detector  is 
then taken out of storage and the results from the two are compared.  If they compare, it is 
reasonable to assume that both detectors still have valid calibrations.  If both detectors do not 
compare, the two detectors and instrument should be sent back for repair and calibration. 
 
Note: This method does not tell you which detector has changed, only that one detector has.  
However, when one is familiar with the detectors and the source being measured, it is highly 
possible to determine which detector has changed.  The detector that has changed now can 
be sent back for repair and calibration while the second detector is used to take its place.
