Calibration Testing Procedures
Calibration Testing Procedures
The procedures in this section test the performance of the 1145A active probe
to ensure that it meets its warranted specifications.
Calibrating Testing Interval
The calibration test procedures may be performed for incoming inspection of the
instrument and should be performed periodically thereafter to ensure and
maintain peak performance. The recommended test interval is yearly or every
2,000 hours of operation. The amount of use, environmental conditions, and the
user’s experience concerning need for testing will contribute to verification
requirements.
Equipment Required
The equipment required for the calibration tests is listed at the test. Any
equipment satisfying the critical specifications listed may be substituted for the
recommended model.
C A U T I O N
Allow the probe to warm up for at least 15 minutes prior to beginning calibration
tests. Failure to allow warm-up may cause the probe to fail tests.
