Calibration Interval
Regular calibration can ensure the performance specifications of DP800. You are
recommended to calibrate the instrument at a one-year calibration interval. Please
perform regular calibration if higher accuracy is required.
You are recommended to perform a complete calibration at the calibration interval to
ensure that the instrument will remain within specifications before the next
calibration.
Calibration Safety
You need to input the correct password before calibration each time you want to
calibrate the instrument. The password is used to prevent accidental or unauthorized
calibration of the instrument.
Press Utility Test/Cal ManualCal, input the correct password
using the numeric keyboard. Then, press OK to enter the calibration interface.
The calibration password is “2012”. The password is stored in the non-volatile
memory and will not change at power-off or remote interface reset.
You are allowed to modify the calibration password. Press Utility
Test/Cal Password, and then press Old, New and Confirm in turn and input
the corresponding password before pressing OK to finish the password modification.
To Stop the Calibration
You can power off the instrument to stop the calibration at any time during the
calibration. The calibration data stored will not be cleared when the calibration is
stopped and you do not need to calibrate the items already calibrated again in the
next calibration.
CAUTION
If the calibration is stopped when the instrument is writing the new
calibration constants into the Flash, you may lose all the calibration
constants and you need to perform the calibration again.
