7.4 Calibration by the Hilti Calibration Service
We recommend that the system is checked by the Hilti
Calibration Service at regular intervals in order to verify
its reliability in accordance with standards and legal re-
quirements.
Use can be made of the Hilti Calibration Service at any
time, We recommend that the system is calibrated at
least once a year
The Calibration Service provides confirmation that the
system is in conformance, on the day it is tested, with
the specifications given in the operating instructions.
In the event of deviation from the manufacturer's specific-
ation, the used tool will be readjusted. After checking and
adjustment, a calibration sticker applied to the system
unit and a calibration certificate provide written verific-
ation that the system operates in accordance with the
manufacturer's specification.
Calibration certificates are always required by companies
certified according to ISO 900x.
