Calibration Option 3

This option is valid for any company wishing to calibrate an RMS device. However limitations do apply:

If a device is already setup in an RMS software, it cannot be added to another one without deactivating it before hand.

To maintain all audit trail advantages, the calibration must be done within the Customer's Cloud.

 

Important:

The digital probe send digital data to the datalogger and as of such no loop calibration is required.

 

Requires:

1 * Measuring Point via a Device

1 * RMS software login, including sufficient user rights.

 

Step 1

Place the Device with the measuring point in the calibration environment.

Ensure that the device is connected to the network (via LAN or wireless).

Step 2

Click on "Tools" > "Calibrate":

Step 8

Follow the internal calibration procedures.

 

Enter the reference value shown on the reference if required and click on "Calibrate".

 
If the difference of the measurement compared to the reference is within the tolerance, an OK result will appear in green.

If the difference of the measurement compared to the reference is outside the tolerance, an Error result will appear in blue.
