Care And Maintenance - SPX Radiodetection RD7100 User Manual

CALSafe
CALSafe enabled RD7100 (PLM and TLM models only) are equipped with a
system which does not permit them to function once they are beyond the expected
service / calibration date.
When the unit is within 30 days of the service due date the unit will display at startup the
number of days left. The locator will stop functioning on the service due date.
CALSafe is disabled by default. You can enable the CALSafe feature and edit the
CALSafe service / calibration due date using the RD Manager PC software. Refer to the
RD Manager operation manual for further information.
