getting fluke calibrated

[dan.]

who does this type of stuff?

Most electrical outlets will have people who do calibration.

You could contact a calibration company in your area and do it direct with them.

Normally you just leave your tester with the electrical outlet you use, they send it off for calibration and you collect it a few days later.

Check with your supplier for details.

Best plan is to take it in when they have a calibration day that way its done once a year and done on the same day. My wholesaler has one my trouble is I usually forget its on. This year luckily I called in on the day they where having it I had my meter on the van and got my wife to bring my PAT out so got them both done.

I use on-site, the guy popped in on a Thursday morning and it was done it about 40 minutes. I think it was only about 60 quid too.

Wow, pound a minute and no special skills required. It's another red tape racket to add to PASMA, IPAF, CSCS and all the other enforced tat that comes with an expensive expiry date. Sometimes I wonder how many people are actually riding on my back.

(Grumble, grumble.)

Don't forget to pay the extra and have the extended insurance.

Because if it goes walkies, the standard insurance from RM will not cover you to buy a second hand one - let alone a new one.

Tell onsite you are from the talk.electricianforum.co.uk forum and that the forum administrator has been trying to contact him. X(
