Calibration (Factory Validation)

Prior to shipment, the instrument undergoes stringent factory calibration that is traceable to national

standards. Due to the inherent stability of the instrument, regular factory calibration is not required,

however recalibration is recommended to maintain measurement traceability.

Kahn Instruments can provide a fully traceable factory calibration service for the instrument and it is

recommended that this is considered at intervals of every year of the analyzer's life. Please contact

Kahn Instruments for further details (www.kahn.com).

Repair and Maintenance

Apart from user-replaceable components required for routine operational maintenance described

above, the instrument must only be maintained either by the manufacturer or an accredited service

agent.
