Which FGA is best at not turning off

[mickie]

I've got an anton that stops working after a year, i know they need to be re calibrated which is fine, its away now, but for me if a car stopped working after a year people would probably be up in arms..

Are there any analysers that don't shut off at exactly 1 year like this anton..

My Anton didn’t. Which one do you have? I would just get it calibrated and then it will not switch off😀😀

Mine never used to , but around 2 years ago it mysteriously started stopping on its years calibration Birthday, obviously they put some software in it , tw@ts !!!

My anton stops on every anniversary.
Don’t think any, are different. As gas safe state , it must be annually calibrated.

My testo never stopped

Testo cough cough actually did a test 2 month past the calibration date 😀

Mine definitely didn’t stop

My Anton only used to flash a warning message that it was due for calibration but it never stopped working, Then a couple of years ago it flashed up Due for calibration and then actually stopped on the day it was due. Think the nice folk at the lab have messed with the software. I always send it off when I go on holiday so it gets done while I am away and not needing it, but we never go away on the same day every year and there could be a couple of weeks difference in date. So frustrating!!!

Espeacially when they turn up brand new and you are already a month down on the calibration.

I've got a 330-2

Ive the 330-1ll Shaun and yeh they are dearer than most fgas but what an amazing bit of kit. Few years I've had mine and can't see me coming away from my German tool ...
The 330-2 is that the industrial one ?

Yes tbh the only difference is color screen and the ppm can go higher (like you need to go that high but handy for when you come across a turn off )

This must be one of the biggest con's going, calibration should be on the amount of Hrs. used not on date, vehicle's are on mileage, what if you only use your unit maybe 10 or so times a year, compared to someone who may use it 10 times a day
