Factory Calibration
NORBIT recommends that the WBMS and SIU be sent back to NORBIT for factory calibration every
two years. The calibration will examine the WBMS and the SIU. In addition, the sound speed sensor
will be calibrated. The factory calibration will ensure that the WBMS maintains high data quality and
repeatability.
The Calibration turnaround is typically one week, if scheduled ahead through NORBIT support. It is
the responsibility of the user to schedule the calibration. NORBIT will not recall systems for
calibration.
For integrated INS kits, it may be necessary to update the INS firmware. INS firmware upgrade may
incur additional cost as deemed appropriate by Applanix. Please contact NORBIT Support to find
out if this applies to your system. Keeping up to date is important to take advantage of rapidly
changing latest positioning techniques.
