To ensure accurate performance and protection, avoid mechanical shock
to the probe. Do not bend or pull the probe cable.
Due to the nature of open probes, there may be susceptibility to outside
interference.
When to Calibrate the SA1000X
The first time the SA1000X requires user calibration depends on how much time has
elapsed between its factory calibration and the first time you use the probe.
Complete the following steps to determine when you need to perform your first
calibration of the SA1000X.
1. Refer to Date Calibrated on the calibration certificate included in your kit.
This is the date of the probe's factory calibration.
2. Compare the date you are first using the probe to the date of the factory
calibration, and perform your initial calibration as follows:
First-Time Use of Probe
When to Calibrate
<1 year after factory calibration
No more than one year after first-time use
≥1 year, <2 years after factory calibration
No more than two years after factory calibration
≥2 years after factory calibration
Before first-time use
Once you have determined the next calibration date, mark the date on the sticker
supplied with the probe and apply the sticker to the side of the probe. Perform
subsequent calibrations of the SA1000X at one-year intervals.
