Calibrations
IMPORTANT
Periodic calibration is nece
ssary in order to ensure that the instru-
ment provides correct measurement results of the specified accu-
racy.
The calibration frequency varies de
pend
ing on the status of the
instrument or installation environment. We recommend that the
calibration frequency is determined in accordance with the status
of the instrument or installation environment and that you request
that calibration be performed periodically.
Precautions when transporting the instrument
• When sending the instrument for repair, remove the battery pack-
and SD memory card carefully to prevent damage in transit.
Include cushioning ma
terial so the instrument cannot move
within the package.
• Include a description of existing damage. We do not take any
respo
nsibility fo
r damage incurred during shipping.
Storage
To avoid problems with battery operation, remove the batteries
from the instrument if it is to be stored for a long time or more.
