Introduction
The procedure described in this document is a verication of performance and not a
calibration. Calibration requires complex equipment to conduct measurements which due
to the nature of the site survey equipment is not required. The verication will conrm
continued performance of the survey kit such that it is suitable for continued use without the
cost of formal calibration.
There are two sections outlined within this document:
Section 1 - General maintenance (pages 3 to 4)
Section 2 - Two yearly maintenance (pages 5 to 6)
If you encounter issues completing the steps outlined in this document, please contact EMS
technical support.

Note: Fitting of an incorrect battery type invalidates the product certication and may result
in poor performance.

illuminate amber whilst charging and
will extinguish once fully charged.
Replace the battery if it does not
fully charge within 24 hours. See
the ‘Battery specication’
section.
Quick range test
Full signal should be achievable at 40m distance in open air.

Two yearly test
Replace all batteries every two years, observing
correct polarity and using only specied batteries.
See the ‘Specied batteries’ section.
Replace all batteries
It is recommend that the The Signal Surveyor’s
Mains Charger is routinely checked every two years
for electrical safety, in accordance with any local
codes of practice. I.e. PAT testing in the UK.
