Full-Service Agreements for Manta Test Systems Test Instruments

Protect your investment
The Manta Test Systems Full-Service Agreement provides excellent equipment protection at an economical price. Routine calibration at regular intervals plus repair service as needed is covered. Full-Service Agreements are available for all Manta Test Systems products which are currently supported.

Benefits
  • Ensured continued measurement accuracy, traceable to national standards
  • Lower overall maintenance costs
  • Regular preventative maintenance maintains instruments at optimal performance and reduces down time due to failure
  • Take advantage of the latest firmware upgrades and engineering improvements
  • Less demand on your technical personnel and resources for calibration and repair
  • Prioritized service

This service includes:

Routine calibration and preventive maintenance On an annual basis, the equipment can be returned for full functional test and calibration, minor upgrades (safety and functional modifications in accordance with the latest Manta Test Systems engineering change orders and EPROMs) and other regular preventive maintenance. Any new addenda to the operation manual, and applications notes will also be provided.

Repairs as needed Any repairs required to the equipment as covered by the product warranty will be done at no extra charge for labor. Parts are excluded in order to keep the standard prices low. A full functional test and calibration is included with any repair performed.

Calibration and Functional Tests
A full functional test and calibration is included with any repair performed. A calibration certificate and sticker is issued upon completing the calibration. All calibrations are performed in our ISO 9001:2008 registered facilities, and are traceable to national standards. The functional test and calibration is a comprehensive test of all equipment functions and is equivalent to the testing and inspection performed on a newly produced product. Typical calibration and functional tests for 2 instruments are shown below.

Example: Manta Test Systems MTS-1710

  • Visual manual functional checks: 68 points
  • Trigger circuit function: 12 tests
  • Timing accuracy: 40 tests
  • Calibration: 14 tests
  • Minimum output checks: 8 tests
  • Voltage/current measurement tests: 32 tests
  • Phase measurement tests: 28 tests
  • Fault mode tests: 39 tests
  • Current mode tests: 54 tests
  • Voltage power checks: 18 tests
  • Current power checks: 24 tests
  • Power supply checks: 13 tests

Example: Manta Test Systems MTS-1030

  • Trigger circuit function: 8 tests
  • Timing accuracy: 40 tests
  • Voltage calibration: 12 tests
  • Current calibration: 12 tests
  • Remote control communications: 15 tests

  • Operation of installed options: up to 30 tests
  • Operation of battery charger/power supply: 6 tests

Pre-agreement Inspections
Sometimes an instrument inspection is required before we can offer a Full-Service Agreement. This usually occurs when an instrument's warranty has expired. Should the condition of the equipment preclude coverage, we will provide a quotation for the repairs necessary to qualify your instrument.

Time and Material
If any repairs are required which are not covered by the Full-Service Agreement, the customer will be notified before proceeding with the work. These are detailed in the Manta Test Systems product warranty and include repairs due to abuse, shipping damage or unauthorized modifications. Standard time and material rates apply to these repairs.

Pricing
Pricing is dependent on the cost of the equipment, average cost of calibration/repair and age of the equipment. To avoid delays, the customer service department must be notified prior to returning equipment for calibration to schedule return. The Full-Service Agreement is effective for 1 year from the date on which payment is received for the contract. Manta Test Systems reserves the right to adjust the price yearly. However up to 3 years may be paid in advance in order to lock in the price.
