MAINTENANCE
8.1
Incorrect operation/failure
The source is fully tested and evaluated before supply and should give years of trouble free operation. No
regular servicing or maintenance is required. In the unlikely event of a failure, we recommend the source is
returned either directly to a LAND company, or to one of the LAND distributors for repair.
8.2
UKAS certification
To continue to carry out calibration checks which are traceable to National Standards, it will be necessary to
obtain a Certificate of Calibration. Depending on useage, and the method of calibration employed, the Platinum
resistance thermometer and/or the P80P source and/or the standard radiation thermometer should be returned
to LAND every 1 to 3 years for recertification. UKAS Certificates of Calibration are available from Land Infrared,
U.K. Certificates of calibration traceable to N.I.S.T. are available from Land Infrared, U.S.A.
8.3
Storage and transportation case
A custom built aluminium storage and transportation case is available as an optional extra. Use of this case is
recommended.
