calibration in the calibration position.
Mounted in the Removing calibration standard, Mounted in the
Measuring position turning and remounting calibration position
If the front plate with calibration standard is
properly mounted in the measuring position, no
status message will be displayed.
If the front plate with calibration standard is not
mounted, the status message „Plate is missing“ is
displayed. Should you carry out a measurement
without front plate, the illumination angle 0° will be
stored at the measurement. If the front plate with calibration standard is
properly mounted in the calibration position, the
status message „Standard is mounted“ is
displayed. Should you carry out measurements
with mounted calibration standard, this
information will be stored with the measurements.
Depending on version, there are two front plates with calibration standard –with
illumination angle (β) +5°and with illumination angle (β) -4°
Backside of a front plate with calibration standard as an example

Page 19
Label of the calibration standard with following
information:
-article number
-serial number
-illumination (entrance) angle (β)
-observation angles
-calibration values
-expiry date of calibrationstandard
calibration standard –measured in factory
After the expiry date of the calibration standard
a factory calibration of the ZRS 6060 and its corresponding calibration
standard is required. Contact either Proceq or your authorized Proceq agent.
The calibration standard delivered with the ZRS 6060 is not interchangeable
and is valid only for the delivered instrument.
Always protect the calibration standard from dust, moisture and other
environmental factors, keep it mounted on the ZRS 6060 and store the
instrument in its shoulder bag.
7.2 Cleaning of the calibration standard
The calibration standard can be cleaned using standard window cleaner and a soft
cloth.
A damaged or a polluted calibration standard may cause incorrect calibration
and therefore incorrect measuring results.
7.3 Calibration on calibration standard
Should the unit indicate that the calibration is outdated
or it is required by the regulations, the ZRS 6060 has
to be calibrated. The calibration interval can be
changed as described in chapter 13.6.9 “Calibration”
on page 53.

function. By pressing you trigger the
calibration.
After calibration a message is displayed showing the
calibration results. Confirm the successful calibration
with .
Should the calibration not be OK (e.g. the standard or
the optical window is damaged or soiled), the
instrument will inform accordingly
Reject the wrong calibration with , eliminate the
cause e.g. by cleaning and recalibrate.
Should the calibration still not be OK after trying several times and despite
cleaning the calibration standard and the optical window, it might be
necessary to send the instrument to the manufacturer for maintenance and
calibration. Please contact Proceq or your authorized Proceq agent.
