GENERAL GUIDANCE NOTES
Maintenance, Calibration & Servicing
Clare Instruments Ltd. supplies a guarantee against defective material and faulty manufacture for a twelve-
month period from the date of delivery.
Prior to despatch the equipment undergoes careful inspection and comprehensive testing. Report any
defect discovered with the equipment in respect of materials or workmanship within the guarantee period.
We undertake to put right the defect at our expense subject to our standard conditions of sale.
Our responsibility is in all cases limited to the cost of making good the defect in the equipment. This does
not apply to defects caused by abnormal conditions of working, accident, misuse, neglect or wear and tear.
Periodic Calibration Checks
All electrical safety test equipment must be re-calibrated at least once a year by a suitably qualified
Calibration / Service engineer. Heavily used equipment may require more frequent inspection.
In the high throughput area of Production Line testing, it is recommended that regular, even daily, checks are
carried out to ensure the continued integrity of the internal test / measurement circuits and correct operation
of the instrument.
Clare manufacture a range of standard and custom Appliance Fault Simulators and Calibration Check Units
to provide a ready means to establishing a regular check routine.
Periodic Visual Inspection
In use, test equipment is subject to normal wear and tear and it is the user’s responsibility to monitor those
parts that are subject to constant use – particular attention should be paid to: -
• Test leads and probes – check for fraying around cable entries and for any undue wear, such as knicks
and abrasions, along the entire lead length. Check probe operation.
• Test sockets and Safebloc connectors – check for excessive wear and/or loose terminals, both of which
could give rise to false measurements.
• Controls, switches and push buttons – check rotary controls for smooth operation, ensure switches
operate as intended.
In the interests of continued safety, repairs and servicing should only be carried out by suitably qualified
personnel and only Clare Approved parts should be used.
Clare Instruments are able to offer a full Maintenance & Calibration Service either in our fully equipped
Service Centre or, by appointment, ‘on site’ at your location – please contact us on 01903 502551 for further
