9. ANALYSER ANNUAL RECALIBRATION AND

SERVICE

Although sensor life is typically more than two years, the analyser should be re-
calibrated and serviced annually to stop any long-term sensor or electronics drift
or accidental damage.

Local regulations may require more frequent re-calibration.

In the UK Kane International has service facilities at Atherton near Manchester
(Tel: 01942-873434), the primary service centre for UK customers and at
Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire (Tel: 01707-375550), the primary service
centre for non-UK customers.

By sending your analyser back to Kane for an annual fixed price service (check

www.kane.co.uk

for details) you have the opportunity to extend the warranty on

your analyser to 5 years.
