  • Page 22: Calibration Frequency

    Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 months is adequate for most H S transmitter applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the H S transmitter.
