Order 818-SCAL for the following cases: a spare /DB calibration module is needed, for 818 series photodiode detectors, without recalibration of the detector, upgrade 818-XX to 818-XX/DB, or 818-XX/CM to 818-XX/DB or when the calibration module is lost or broken.
• To upgrade 818-XX to 818-XX/DB, or 818-XX/CM to 818-XX/DB following will be required:
o Module should be ordered, and sensor sent for calibration.
• For a replacement or spare /DB module, the order requires the following information (at the time of order), to be able to identify the correct calibration file:
o Order for the module and the serial number of the sensor.
o Prior to placing the order check with a Newport calibration center if the calibration data is available.
If not, the sensor should be sent for re-calibration.
Supported sensors:
- 818-SL detectors
- 818-ST detectors
- 818-IR detectors
- 818-UV detectors
- 818-IG detectors
- 818-ST-UV detectors
- 818-SL-L detectors
- 818-IR-L detectors
- 818-UV-L detectors
- 818-IG-L detectors
- 818-ST2 series
- 819C/D-IG series
- 819C/D-SL series
- 819C/D-UV series
We recommend that optical power meters and detectors be calibrated every 12 months. It should be noted that Newport cannot assure NIST for modules which were not sent for re-calibration.
