View and Download a Digital COC
Each Agilent ADM Flow Meter comes equipped with a
removable cartridge. These cartridges each come with a
Certificate of Calibration (COC), which is generated when the
cartridge is manufactured. This certificate gives details about
the instruments that were used to calibrate the cartridge, and
provides a verification table showing the flow readings obtained
in the factory compared to Agilent’s flow standard. If the COC is
lost, or a digital copy is required, a copy may be downloaded
using Agilent’s Red Cargo Web Interface (see “To download the
COC:” ).
To download your cartridge’s COC, you must know the serial
number and product key of your instrument’s cartridge.
To view your cartridge’s serial number and product key:
1Turn on your ADM flow meter.
2Press the mode button until the Info screen is visible.
3Press the select button to view the serial number and
product key, as shown in Figure 1.
To download the COC:
1Use your web browser to open the Access product features
page, go to https://redcargo.azurewebsites.net/
2Click ADM Flowmeter Customer.
3Enter the model number (G6692A), serial number, and
product key of your cartridge, and click Validate (see Figure 2
on page 4). The cartridge’s details, and the link to download
the COC will be displayed under Certificate of Calibration
(see Figure 3 on page 4).
