Fluke recommends having your DMMs, Calibrators and ScopeMeter test tools calibrated once a year—especially if you use them often or need accurate measurements to meet regulations requirements. Calibration compares your tool’s measurements to the accuracy standard—sort of like setting your watch to match an atomic clock. Some test tools live a pretty rough life. If you calibrate them, you know they’re accurate—even after what you put them through. For more information on servicing your Fluke tools outside of the U.S., see page 2 for contact information.
