5.3 Field Calibration
The Inspector 5000 requires periodic field calibration. The
interval depends on the environment where the bar code
verifier is used.
Inspector 5000 calibration interval
A clean room may be able to go two weeks between
calibrations while a dusty, high temperature, high humidity
environment may require daily calibration. Once per week
is appropriate for most facilities.
The Setup screen has a parameter “Days between
calibration”that is used to designate the required
calibration interval (default is 7).
The date of the last field calibration (and last factory re-
certification) can be viewed from the Status screen (press
and hold Print and then Power arrow), when expired the
fields will be highlighted in red.

Press and hold Print button then press Left Arrow button
(at the same time) to display the Calibration screen:
Verifying the Inspector 5000 is calibrated
From the main calibration screen the unit is setup to
measure reflectance. This allows you to check the
calibration of the unit by placing the Auto Optic on the RJS
Calibration Plaque (P/N 002-7410), white or black fields,
and verifying that the reflectance value matches the stated
values.
Verify that reflectance values are within +/- 2% (of the
value written the calibration plaque –“High Reflectance
Value Target Values: Red (660nm)”) for white and +/- 2%
(of the value written the calibration plaque –“Low
Reflectance Value Target Values: Red (660nm)”) for
black.
