What's Included in the Kit?
A Users Manual
The step-by-step manual walks the user through each phase of the verification process and provides blank documentation sheets for recording parametric test data.
Precision Standards
The test standards are certified gauges with traceability to the N.I.S.T. When used in accordance with the verification procedures outlined in the manual, traceability can be transferred to your Cirris cable tester.
Depending on the model of your tester, each check kit contains:
- Zero-Ohm board
- Precision Resistive standard
- Capacitance check standard
(The ‘Precision Standards’ allow you to verify your tester with the same level of precision as Cirris technicians qualifying units in for calibration.)
Note: The type and number of test standards in each kit vary depending on the capabilities of each model.
Certificate of Calibration
Each kit contains a Certificate of Calibration that provides traceability to the N.I.S.T. The ‘standards’ are calibrated and certified for a service period of two years, after which they must be replaced.
When Cirris first introduced Performance Check Kits, ISO-9000 and other quality systems did not exist. As more customers implemented quality systems, the 5-year service period of PCHK’s became problematic. If a kit fails final certification it can render invalid all testing performed on testers verified with the kit since its last certification. We felt that a two year period would better serve our customer’s needs.
