Voltage Calibration
Voltage Calibration Services
UKAS Validator calibrations available at Withnell Sensors
Are you looking for voltage calibration services specifically for the Kaye Instrument validators? The AVS and 2000 are thermal validation systems, both of which are covered in Withnell Sensors' voltage calibration services.
Validator calibrations are provided on-site to prevent downtime and equipment being shipped off-site by our trained engineers.
After all functionality checks are complete, our team can make adjustments to the system which then electronically re-writes the validator calibration date stored in the 2000 or AVS.
Both a full UKAS certificate and service report will be supplied to provide an accurate display of results and further information on repairs if necessary. Site calibrations are NIST traceable so will be provided with this form of certification.
Onsite Voltage Calibrations
We appreciate that some of our customers have a requirement to have their validator calibration performed on-site. Our engineers are field-based so, upon customer request, we accommodate field calibration.
Our calibration method is similar to the method that we use in our lab in Lancashire and replicates the methods used by the manufacturer. Speak to one of our service engineers about the kind of service that best suits your needs.
Choosing Withnell Sensors for your validator calibration provides confidence that your system is precisely calibrated to the highest level of accuracy, ensuring excellent measurement uncertainties for your critical projects.
Validator Calibrations
How to conduct voltage calibrations
The voltage calibration entails an 'As Found' check across the full voltage ranges on the Kaye validation system.
Our services in particular provide unmatched confidence as we only deploy and utilise high-end reference equipment. You can achieve accuracy in your system's performance due to our measurement uncertainties as low as 1µV. This offers full assurance that the Kaye system has delivered accurate results throughout the year of use.
Our engineers will perform a number of functionality checks on the system including:
- A full check of internal voltages
- A backup battery functionality check for full assurance of reliability in the event of power loss on site, which could cause disruptions in the event of a lost qualification.
- Channels checks to maintain maximum temperature sensor capability (36 channels for the Validator and 48 Channels for the Advanced Validator System).
- Communications checks with further Kaye equipment which is ideal for our customers who adopt the full Kaye Validation system including the Kaye IRTD-400 and a temperature block.
- Communications with PC interfaces such as tablets or PC with installed Kaye software.
- Ensuring that the external redundancy to the USB/floppy drive is functioning correctly to give the customer peace of mind that calibrations/qualification runs will not be lost.
After adjustments, As left checks are completed at the same voltage ranges as the As Found, to maintain assurance that the unit will be returned to the customer in the optimal working condition.
Proud partners of Kaye
Kaye validator calibration requirements
Managing Director of Withnell Sensors, Philip De Freitas, sold this product range throughout the UK and Ireland for over 25 years. This has provided our engineers with exclusive knowledge of the Kaye equipment having spent many years working with the instrument.
We have since helped many customers with voltage calibrations of the Kaye range and supported them with various technical queries for both the V2K and the newer AVS unit.
We are also the only laboratory in Europe that can provide ISO17025 accredited Kaye validator calibration!
Specialist Validator Calibration and Repair
We are specialists in Kaye Validator 2000 and Validator AVS calibration and repair and servicing of the units. We have years of experience calibrating, repairing, and using Kaye validators in our own projects. As Kaye partners we know the products inside and out. Therefore, we can provide a complete solution for maintenance of your validator such as:
- Traceable or UKAS voltage calibration of Kaye validator and SIMs
- Repair or replacement of validator components
- A complete system checks to verify that your validator is performing optimally
We also offer Kaye AVS and V2K series validators for rental or purchase in the event your validator is irreparable.
