Information on the calibration of newly purchased equipment and what it means to you.
Calibration and its certification comes in varying forms on new equipment and in this section, we will break it down into the three areas that we use to classify calibration state at the point of purchase.
Manufacturers Calibration Certificate
This is a calibration certificate offered by the manufacturer supplied with the tester. This is also known as an end-of-line certificate or manufacturer’s certificate. These certificates vary depending on the manufacturer and product. They will not have your company's name on them and don’t always show proven test results.
Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.
This instrument comes complete with the manufacturer's calibration certificate. Please be aware that these certificates are generic and may also be time-lapsed.
If you would prefer a personalised full traceable calibration certificate applied to the equipment before dispatch, then please select this option from the drop-down menu above, an additional calibration charge will apply.Manufacturers Certificate of Conformity
A manufacturer's certificate of conformity is not a calibration certificate. It is merely a statement that the equipment has been produced to operate within its intended application, it has no traceable certificate or constitutes any defined results for accuracy before leaving the manufacturing process.
Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.
This instrument comes with a ‘manufacturer's certificate of conformity’. It is important to understand that this does NOT constitute a ‘calibration certificate’. A certificate of conformity merely states that the equipment has been designed and produced to meet the requirements of its intended application.
Where calibration of an instrument is possible we will offer this as a separately purchasable item and may be selected from the drop-down box above. You will be sent a full traceable calibration certificate produced in our laboratory and applied with your details as required.Personalised traceable calibration certificate from isswww
This is a calibration certificate created by us at ISS. This certificate is fully traceable to national and international standards. The certificate will show your company's details, tester information, proven test results and the equipment used to carry out the test. Nearly 90% of all calibrations we do are done in-house in one of our many fully equipped laboratories. You can add this service to your order on the product page before you checkout.
Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.
We are on occasion able to offer FREE calibration on certain products at their point of sale (newly purchased equipment only) please look out for the following badge on the product's page to take advantage of this free offer.

The Qualistar 8345 power analyser is well-designed to run real-time diagnostics during electrical installations, audit electricity consumption and carry out long-term logging of electrical parameters. Compliant with IEC 61000-4-30 class A standard our quality analyser is easy to use and comes with in-built extensive communication options – further delivering exceptional flexibility. Suitable for use on all types of single and three-phase systems up to 1,000 V
*Important Calibration Information:
This instrument comes with a ‘manufacturer's certificate of conformity’. It is important to understand that this does NOT constitute a ‘traceable calibration certificate’. A certificate of conformity merely states that the equipment has been designed and produced to meet the requirements of its intended application.
Where calibration of an instrument is possible we will offer this as a separately purchasable item and may be selected from the drop-down box above. You will be sent a full traceable calibration certificate produced in our laboratory and applied with your details as required.
Contractors Kit:
The CA 8345 is the first in a new generation of Qualistar power quality analysers from Chauvin Arnoux. It represents a step-change in the levels of connectivity and features on offer, while still maintaining the same simplicity of use familiar to existing Qualistar users.
The CA8345 kit offers not only the top-of-the-range CA8345 Class A power quality analyser, but all of the current sensors, leads and software that you need to get started, these all come in a rugged wheeled hard case to keep everything safe on-site.
You also get access to Chauvin Arnoux’s unrivalled technical support and a huge range of video guides and articles to get you up and running in no time
CA 8345 Comes Supplied With:
• Safety datasheet
• 5 reeling boxes
• Shoulder bag
• USB A/B cable 1.80 m long
• Multilingual Quick Start Guide
• Set of 5 banana leads and crocodile clips
• Set of identification inserts and rings
• Verification certificate
• Removable wrist strap
• Magnetic hook
• SD memory card
The CA 8345 is a Class A Qualistar power and energy quality analyser.
Like the Qualistar+ models, it is equipped with an intuitive HMI and remains simple to use. Multilingual online help can be displayed at any time on the large colour LCD touchscreen.
Easy to handle, it is intended for inspection and maintenance teams working on industrial or tertiary installations. It can be used to obtain a snapshot of the electrical network's main quality features. The Qualistar model can be used on all types of installations.
For greater safety, the CA 8345 automatically recognizes the type of current sensor connected.
The CA 8345 ensures high measurement accuracy. It provides a large number of calculated values and several processing functions. It offers users all the measurements needed to successfully handle energy efficiency projects and monitor the electrical distribution network. By calculating the cost of the electricity, you can immediately determine the value of the electricity consumed.
Key Features:
- Voltage quality diagnostics
- Full compliance with IEC 61000-4-30 Class A Ed 3
- Highly communicating instrument
- Qualistar range of easy-to-use products
- Alarms, recordings, transients, Inrush, etc.
It can display the harmonics and interharmonics as stipulated by IEC 61000-4-7.
At the same time, it detects the carrier currents flowing on the installation.
The CA 8345 monitors all the events on the network:
- Trend diagram, variations of the signal parameters
- Parameterizable alarms, with the possibility of sending an email alert to the user
- 2.5 µs transients
- 12 kV shockwaves lasting 500 ns
- TrueInrush to capture all the load start-ups….
A Monitoring mode can be used to record the measurement campaigns required for analysis as per EN50160.
Communication
In addition to the SD and USB drive, it is also possible to recover the measurements and communicate with the CA 8345 remotely. USB, remote links, Wifi (direct or via server) or via RJ45. An IRD Server mode allows extraction of the data from anywhere in the world without endangering internet security.
The Power Analyzer Transfer software can be used to process the measurements made with the Qualistar Class A.
The PAT3 software can be downloaded from our Support website.
