Bird Thruline® Wattmeter Health Check - Free*

23/10/2014

 
Bird 43
Aspen Electronics Ltd has been calibrating and repairing a wide range of Bird Technologies (Bird) products for over 40 years. During this time we have built up the considerable amount of expertise required to know what it takes to keep the world best RF power measurement equipment working and producing accurate and repeatable results.

The Bird Model 43 Thruline® Wattmeter, plus its wide range of elements, is perhaps the oldest piece of test equipment still in production. In an industry that has seen so any changes over the past 40 years, it's a credit to J Raymond Bird's inventiveness that the Bird Model 43 is still in daily use today, some 62 years after it was first introduced.


With such a heritage, keeping the Bird Model 43, plus its many sister products in top working order is something Aspen Electronics has been specialising in for over 40 years. Whilst we can calibrate and repair all Bird products, the vast majority of work we do is calibrating the Bird Model 43 series products plus associated elements.

During this time we have also seen major changes in the calibration industry with "asset management" coming to the fore plus a rationalisation in calibration service providers. With these changes we have become aware that there are a number of organisations offering a calibration service that includes the calibration of Bird Thruline® products. We are also aware of cases where customers have come to Aspen after having their products calibrated by others, to have them re-checked by us as initial results were not as expected and the initial calibration was found to be wanting. 

In promoting the Bird calibration capabilities of Aspen Electronics Ltd Service Department we are offering a "Free Bird Thruline® "Health Check" to the first 50 customers who take up our offer. What we are offering is the calibration of your Bird Thruline® Wattmeter, plus up to 3 elements, using our Bird Factory Approved system. We will check and verify the performance of your Wattmeter plus provide test results for up to 3 elements using our Bird approved measurement system that features a transfer standard repeatability of just 3%.


If your Wattmeters performance correlates with our system then you have the added confidence that your calibration policies and procedures are perfectly adequate and you have nothing to worry about. Should there be any discrepancies we can discuss these in detail and recommend corrective action.
So why bother?

There are many factors that differentiate Aspen Electronics Ltd.'s service & calibration department from other suppliers and the following are just some of the them:

  • Aspen Electronics Ltd is the only calibration facility in Europe approved by the Bird Factory. All our calibration personnel are Bird Factory trained with many year experience in calibrating and repairing Bird products.
  • We use Bird Thruline® Metrology Standard Wattmeters as our transfer standards, plus Bird Compact Calorimeters to derive an ultimate accuracy of 1.25%.
  • Our measurement system maintains the Through Line measurement concept from source to load, keeping errors and uncertainties to a minimum.

These are just some of the factors that ensure we are the best organisation to calibrate your Bird products. There are many more which we are happy to discuss face to face or on the phone. So please give us a call, or speak to any member of the Aspen sales staff to take advantage of this great offer.


*This offer is limited to the free calibration of one Bird Thruline Wattmeter and up to 3 Elements per customer (excluding those elements listed below) and is available for a limited period. Wattmeters and Elements will be calibrated separately with test results taken for the equipment "as received" provided free for each item. Where it is not possible to calibrate a customer's Wattmeter due to technical issues, the customer may substitute another Wattmeter in its place. 

The customer is responsible for shipping / carriage to and from Aspen Electronics Ltd.'s service and calibration department based at our offices in 1-3 Kildare Close, Eastcote, Ruislip, Middx HA4 9UR.


We are more than happy to have customers visit our facility and witness the calibration process and take advantage of a "while you wait" service, subject to prior appointment.


This offer is limited to the following Bird Wattmeter products: 
Model 43, 43P, 4431, 4314 (A, B & C), 4381, 4391 series, 4410 Series, APM-16, Model 5000 / 5010 Series. 


This offer excludes the following elements: All elements with a power rating 1000W and above. All Table 4 & Table 5 elements. All Sampler & Directional Coupler elements.

Should your Wattmeter and/or elements be found to be out of manufacturer's specification then we will offer re-calibration at a 50% discount to our standard prices. Any spare parts required will be at a 20% discount to our standard prices. Re-calibration includes "before & after" results.
