Calibration Expiry - VERSIV
Fluke Networks recommends that the DSX CableAnalyzer (DSX-8000 or DSX-5000) modules are to be factory calibrated by an authorized service center every 12 months.
Since the Versiv mainframe and remote unit are not measurement devices, they do not require any factory calibration, and therefore no Certificate(s) of Calibration are required for them.
Note : The following is applicable to all DSX-8000 CableAnalyzer, DSX-5000 CableAnalyzer, CertiFiber Pro, and OptiFiber Pro modules manufactured after June 20th, 2016.
When you receive your new and unused DSX CableAnalyzer module(s), you can check the module’s calibration status by tapping on TOOLS > Version Information > MODULE:
When you run a test for the first time with the DSX CableAnalyzer module, a second calibration date will appear:
In the example above, the calibration certificate supplied with the module will have shown 06/04/2016. However, re-calibration will not be due until 06/28/2017, since the first test was carried out on 06/28/2016. Your calibration certificate states the calibration date starts with the first test you conduct or six months after the module was calibrated, at the factory here in Everett, WA.
What about the test report? The Calibration Start Date is the date that will be stored with your test record and reported in LinkWare PC :
If the Versiv Remote is connected with Permanent link adapter and Channel adapter (copper set refence connections), this method can also be used to interrogate the module on the Remote.
In the case of CertiFiber Pro modules, you can use this method to interrogate the Remote module when you connect Versiv Main and Remote over fiber test reference cord set reference connections.
In the MODULE screens below, the Versiv Main was running version 6.1 Build 3. Calibration on these modules is considered due one year beyond the stated Calibration Date.
CFP-QUAD and OFP-QUAD Examples:
Only an authorized service center can adjust the module and update the calibration date
