eCAL
™
The RD5000 has been designed so that it does not require regular calibration.
However, as with all safety equipment, it is recommended that a service should
be carried out at least once a year either at Radiodetection’s service centre or
an approved Radiodetection service centre. Alternatively eCAL
™
may be used to
validate the calibration of the RD5000 locator.
eCAL is a novel Radiodetection technique that allows the user to validate the
original factory calibration of the RD5000 locator, providing the user with the
confidence that the locator continues to meet its original factory calibration.
eCAL also carries out a functional test on the locator providing the user with
the confidence that the locator continues to provide the same performance
as it did when it first left the factory. eCAL can be carried out on site without
the need to return the locator to a service centre, saving time and expense.
Each time the locator passes eCAL, the user can view or print a dated eCAL
validation certificate.
For a more detailed explanation of eCAL, please go to the eCAL section on
page 16.
