10. ANNUAL
RE-CALIBRATION
Whilst the sensors have an expected life of more than two years in normal use it is
recommended that the analyser is re-calibrated at least annually. This is so that long term drift
on the sensors and electronics can be eliminated. Local regulation may require more frequent
re-calibration and users should check with appropriate authorities to ensure they comply with
relevant guidelines.
