Bode 500 - Calibration & Repair
OMICRON Lab offers component-level repair for the Bode 500 and it's accessories. A Bode 500 repair includes a new factory calibration as well as a warranty extension by 6 months.
If your device needs repair, please contact us and ask for P0011468 - Repair and Inspection of Bode 500.
Calibration Service for Bode 500 Device
Factory Calibration (ISO 9001):
At OMICRON we offer a factory calibration for the Bode 500. The factory calibration is also performed as part of the manufacturing process. Factory calibration includes adjustment and calibration of the device and can be repeated anytime. The calibration includes a 6-month warranty renewal. Please ask for ISO 9001 Calibration, Inspection and Adjustment of Bode 500 (Order number: P0011467).
Calibration Certificate & Calibration Report:
Every unit comes with a calibration certificate free of charge. The certificate is included in the delivery of a new device and after a repeated calibration. A detailed as-left calibration report is available on request. Below you can find a sample certificate and a sample as-left report for a Bode 500.
Recommended Calibration Period:
If your quality assurance guidelines require a periodic calibration we recommend a re-calibration every one to two years for Bode 500.
By performing software calibration/correction the user can ensure accurate Gain/Phase and Impedance measurements. For more details on software correction, please check out the next section and refer to the Bode User Manual. A parameter that changes with time and cannot be compensated by User-Range or Full-Range calibration is the frequency of the internal reference oscillator. The oscillator in the Bode 100 exhibits the following drift performance:
| Time after adjustment | Bode 500 frequency stability |
|---|---|
| < 1 year | ± 1 ppm ≙ ± 1 Hz @ 1 MHz |
| < 3 years | ± 2 ppm ≙ ± 2 Hz @ 1 MHz |
For more details, please check out the technical data section.
Software Calibration/Correction
Bode 500 and Bode Analyzer Suite offer you the possibility to increase the accuracy of your measurements by running a calibration / correction.
User-Range Calibration / Full-Range Calibration:
An external calibration/compensation is done by the user to remove the influence of the measurement setup, such as cables or probes. This calibration/correction can be done at each measurement. For more information, please refer to the user manual.
