14.1 Annual calibration schedule
To ensure that the unit is performing as expected, we recommend it is re-calibrated every 12 months. As an optical product will naturally degrade over
time, it is important to periodically re-test the unit, to confirm that it is working to specification.
All Quantifi Photonics products are calibrated during manufacture, and each product is shipped to the customer with a Calibration Certificate. On this
certificate, the calibration date, as well as the next calibration due date are mentioned.
We recommend your product is returned for re-calibration before the listed due date, to ensure continued performance of the product. For re-
calibration service information, or to send in a product for re-calibration service, email
If the Calibration Certificate has been misplaced, or the calibration due date is not known, email
.
