Yes. Maintenance on a properly installed, quality system is minimal and need only consist of a visual inspection and verification of operation. Calibration frequency depends on sensor type and application. Typical frequency for commercial applications is 1 to 2 times per year. For areas where health hazards may exist, 3 to 4 times per year. Industrial applications 4 to 6 times per year or even monthly.
