A Verificator with an expired calibration will still be able to perform verifications, but the certificate will include a "not calibrated" watermark. Re-calibration of the SITRANS Verificator is offered at our Measurement Instrumentation factory. Contact your local Siemens representative for support: Technical support (Page 48). Follow the guidelines described under Return procedure (Page 40). Ordering licenses Licensing model To use the SITRANS Verificator for full or partial verifications, you need an active license installed.
