The Importance of Field Calibrations

If you are looking for an easy way to keep your equipment out of the service center, performing a field calibration would be the best way to do it. 

Trimble recommends that field calibrations are performed when setting up for a job and when temperature levels beyond a certain threshold. The consequences of not performing a field calibration can include poor accuracy and misleading readings due to the instruments not being calibrated to the ambient conditions on a job site. This can cause unwarranted calls to support, duplicate service appointments and a ton of lost time on the job. Its far better to put the time in running the calibration routines then have loose that time down the road. 

These specifications can vary for different instruments, so it is important to review your instruments instruction manual for more information.
