process that can update the calibration date stored in the analyzer. All reports generated from the
analyzer will contain the calibration date. A report displaying an expired calibration date can
have a negative impact when presented to your customer as a part of their maintenance logs.
Calibration and Certification
Your ACES Systems equipment is calibrated and certified per National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST) standards, effective the date of shipment.
TEC requires the unit to be calibrated by TEC or a TEC authorized service facility on an annual
basis to ensure accuracy and currency of installed electronic components. In addition, the
vibration sensors, pressure and temperature transducers (if applicable) should also be calibrated
on an annual basis or when dropped, damaged or suspect of improper operation. The analyzer
will be identified as calibrated by a sticker stating the date of calibration and next due date of
calibration. A certificate of calibration will be provided to you to verify compliance to
inspectors.
A permanent record of your calibration is maintained by TEC. To obtain a copy of your
calibration certificate or for information about calibration services please complete the form
found at https://www.acessystems.com/contact-us/contact-support/.
When your ACES analyzer is returned for annual recalibration, a Returned Materials
Authorization (RMA) number will be required. The RMA can be issued over the phone by our
technical support staff or you can request an RMA by completing the form found at
https://www.acessystems.com/product-repair-service/.
NOTE
Annual calibration is required in order to comply with the terms of the
5-year warranty. See “Warranty” in this section for details.
