When an Atlas Copco transducer with memory is connected to ACTA, a check of the
next calibration date is performed:
If there are less than 30 days to the next calibration date, a message dialog box
appears telling the operator that the transducer needs to be calibrated before the next
calibration date.
If the next calibration date has passed, a message dialog box appears telling the
operator that the transducer needs to be calibrated. Contact your Atlas Copco service
representative to recalibrate and reset the transducer.
