A Calibrated Question (Multi Meters)

[LukeD]

I think they come to the CEF branch and sit down to process all that have been handed in. So one trip for the tester(s) and probably 20 odd items to do.

Not a Huge amount ...Especially if CEF want a fee etc

I reckon CEF probably waive any fee because they will probably sell more stuff when all the people come in for cheap calibration.

LOL - you are assuming they have it in stock!

They do more like 80-100 in my local branch on the CEF day. All at £30 a pop. Work it out…

Never trust these calibration days. I have said before we sent some in and mixed in by accident was an analogue insulation continuity tester which just read open continuity all the time. Came back with a calibration certificate so i tried it, still open continuity even with various leads.

Exactly .... its a "Drive by calibration" service .

How many guys carrying out the tests?

Two I think. It’s a good earner for them

I use a CalCard, keeping a record of last and current readings gives me what I need to know.

I use a check box in a similar way. Good to use inbetween 'proper' calibrations. Covers resistance and IR, but obviously not RCD trip times and levels.
