5. Calibration

The Routine Calibration should be performed every 12 months. Non-routine Calibration is only
required if a related assembly is replaced or if the periodic calibration is unsuccessful.
All standard models and configurations of the CSW555 may be calibrated using a PC running
Windows 2000/XP, and the latest version of the CSWGui AC source control software. Refer to
the CSWGui online help file of the CIGUISII software for additional procedures and guidance. To
