Only advanced users or administrators should consider changing any of the pa-
rameters in the following section. Incorrect settings could jeopardize the safety
of users depending on this instrument.
4.1 Setup Overview
Your instrument has been shipped from Ludlum Measurements only after passing electronic
checkout, a 24-hour burn-in process, and a careful calibration process. Calibration papers
are supplied with each instrument shipped from Ludlum Measurements.
Recalibration should be accomplished after a predetermined calibration frequency (Ludlum
Measurements, Inc. recommends no more than a one-year interval), or when the operation
of the instrument is suspect or maintenance has been performed on the instrument. Re-
calibration is not normally required following instrument cleaning or battery replacement.
While recalibration does not require any special tools or software to perform, Lumic software
available through Ludlum Measurements, Inc. will greatly ease calibration, especially when
second-order deadtime correction (extended calibration) is being utilized. As a result, the
use of Lumic software is highly recommended.
Ludlum Measurements offers a full-service repair and calibration department. Not only do
we repair and calibrate our own instruments, we also service most other manufacturers’ in-
struments. Calibration procedures are available upon request for customers who choose to
calibrate their own instruments.
ð
Ludlum Measurements, Inc. recommends recalibration at intervals no greater
than one year, assuming that regular operational checks are performed. Check
the appropriate local, state, and federal regulations to determine required re-
calibration intervals.
