Fluke Service Centers are equipped with the necessary instruments, standards, procedures, and personnel to maintain Fluke Networks’ products at peak performance.  Only Fluke Networks can offer calibration services on our products and reset the calibration dates in our tools using proprietary software and artifacts.

ISO-9001: Traceable Calibration

'Calibration' means that the test results from a measuring device (or source) of unknown accuracy, are compared with a device whose accuracy is known. This device is universally accepted as a 'reference' and traceable to international standards. Calibration records any deviation from this standard and corrects it when necessary. Each instrument has a specific calibration procedure which indicates exactly how and what must be checked.

 

It Pays to Calibrate Regularly

Measuring instruments are the 'heartbeat' of your company as they check and measure your production processes. They control the quality of your products and in the end are responsible for the success and the profitability of your business. A regular check of your 'heartbeat' with traceable calibration equipment is essential. It ensures your quality always matches the customer's expectations which are vital where ISO-9001 certification is involved. Annual calibration ensures your instrument is performing to published specifications. Instrument calibration follows procedures detailed in our maintenance and service manuals. Instruments are returned with a Certificate of Calibration, your proof of traceability to international standards, and the internal calibration date is reset within the unit (DSX-5000, OptiFiber Pro OTDR, CertiFiber Pro, DTX and OptiFiber OTDR). We also include calibration labels which indicate the date of calibration plus seals to protect the integrity of the calibration performed.

Annual calibration is included in your Gold Support Program membership - As a Gold Support Member you receive an annual calibration and factory refresh as part of your membership.
