The DOSE-X has been calibrated in the factory, before delivery.
CAUTION: OBSERVE THE PROPER MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
Ensure that electrometer channels and detectors are recalibrated according to the stated (or legally required) maintenance / ADCL recalibration intervals. Otherwise, drifts and instabilities in the measurement chain may not be recognized, leading to wrong measurement values.
Electrical Calibration
Electrical calibration can be performed by the user with an external electrical check source / circuit by
measuring different points of all current / dose rate ranges of the DOSE-X electrometer or in the factory of IBA Dosimetry.
Please note, an electrical calibration performed by a user is not the same as a factory calibration.
Dosimetric Calibration
As is standard practice for other electrometers, it is recommended that the DOSE-X be calibrated yearly,
or at least every 2 years. This calibration should be performed by an accredited dosimetry calibration
laboratory (ADCL). Contact IBA Dosimetry for calibration information, see Chapter 8.
