4.5 Calibrating the REA ScanCheck 3n
The calibration (test equipment monitoring) is a process in which the measurement values of the
device are compared with the known reference results of the test code. Variances of the
measurement values of the device from the reference values must be within specified tolerances.
With this procedure, the measuring accuracy is tested and monitored.
The calibration should be carried out at regular intervals (e.g. monthly). This way, it can be
determined whether the device has been misaligned since the last calibration. If the measuring
tolerances are not complied during calibration, the measurements carried out with the device since
the last calibration must be evaluated. The size of the variances occurring during the calibration
procedure is included in the evaluation.
The REA Scancheck 3n must be adjusted regularly in accordance with chapter 4.3 or 4.4.
For calibration, the test code on the calibration card (see chapter 4.2) is measured and the result
documented. A test report with the reference results of REA for this code is enclosed with the
calibration card. The reference report with the reference results is furnished with a stamp:
The REA calibration and adjustment card bears a serial number. The serial number must be listed
in the comment field, or the order number of the reference report must be cited and identical.
The measuring device type and serial number on the reference report are different to those of the
customer device. This is essential because the reference reports are created with a reference
measuring device.
The REA calibration and adjustment card should always be stored protected from light. Scratches,
stains and other damage must be avoided. REA Elektronik GmbH guarantees a lifetime of 2 years
for the REA calibration and adjustment card if the handling instructions are observed.
