of operation.
• Perform self-calibration:
• every 6 months or after 1000 hours of operation
• if the ambient temperature is >10 °C from the calibration temperature
• if you want to maximize the measurement accuracy
The amount of use, environmental conditions, and experience with other
instruments help determine if you need shorter adjustment intervals.
