4.3.2.1 Calibration Due Date and Alert Date
It is recommended that calibration should be performed at least once a year. It is recommended
that the Calibration Due Date not be set greater than one year from the Calibration Date
displayed. After a calibration is performed, the Calibration Due Date is automatically set 1 year
after the calibration date.
This parameter defaults to one year after the calibration date but may be overwritten to any date
desired.
The Calibration Due Date and Alert Date can be set by selecting the appropriate fields on the
touchscreen. The following screens will appear when the Calibration Due Date and Alert Date
fields are selected.
The Alert Date is like an alarm clock that will warn you in advance of the actual Calibration Due
Date. After a calibration is performed, the Alert Date is automatically set 11 months after the
Calibration Date. For example, if the calibration is performed on 12/15/2014 the Alert Date will
automatically be set to 11/15/2015.
This parameter defaults to 11 months after the Calibration Date but may be overwritten to any
advanced date desired. Use the numeric keypad to change the values in the date fields and press
the enter key (↵) to accept the new number or press EXIT to cancel and return to the original
number.
Use the touchscreen numeric keypad to enter the desired value for the date, month and year.
Upon entering a value the enter key (↵) will appear. Touch the enter key to save the value and
move to the next field. The < (back arrow) key can be used to toggle between date, month and
year. The Prev and Next arrows can be used to toggle between different fields under the Time and
Date menu.
Calibration Date is a non-editable parameter that indicates the date when calibration was last
performed on the instrument. This parameter automatically updates after calibrating the
instrument.
