One part of our comprehensive range of services is the commissioning* of measurement systems which requires a high degree of expertise and know-how. Our service technicians have a sound basis regarding applications and a wide range of theoretical and practical knowledge. Regular training and continuing education make sure that these standards are constantly extended and consolidated.

New instruments can be integrated into existing control systems this way without any problems. NIVUS provides perfectly matched solutions for the start-up of your individual system. This ensures smooth operation of your systems without unnecessary interruptions. Your benefits are efficiency, quality and no extra costs right from the start.  

Another part of our service is providing a comprehensive documentation on your measurement place. To guarantee the best possible performance right from the first hour of operation, your responsible personnel will be instructed thoroughly and comprehensively.

*Prerequisites: advance notice at least 2 weeks prior to desired date, a metrological description of application shall be provided in advance. All units and sensors shall be wired ready for operation and shall be installed according to our installation instructions. Safe facility access shall be guaranteed. It shall be possible to simulate varying operating conditions.

For the commissioning of flow meters in throttle and regulating plants it shall be ensured to dam up volumes without discharge in order to test measurement and regulating functions. For the commissioning of flow meters in discharge channels it is necessary to have sufficient volumes of water available (e.g. from cleaning truck, hydrant, pump in adjacent water body or similar) to test the correct function.

Extra costs NIVUS are not responsible for shall be borne by the customer. Further services will be invoiced according to our customer service rates.

After many years of operation even the most powerful measurement systems may fail from time to time. Improper operation or inappropriate handling may lead to instrument failure as well. In such cases the NIVUS maintenance service is there to help you quickly and without unnecessary administration. 

The NIVUS service team is available all over Germany and all over the world. This is why failures can be solved quickly and efficiently even on sites.

In case of existing maintenance contracts we will care about the scheduling, of course! 

From us you will get qualified service including warranty for the services performed and the parts replaced.

You don’t want to worry about exploding costs for your facility maintenance? No problem, among other points we offer standard maintenance contracts for:

• Venturi channels
• Weir measurements
• Flow measurements

and more. 

Or you can have contracts tailored to fit your needs such as for outstations with data loggers, error messages, operating messages, levels, flow measurements and more as well as the transmission of these data to a control centre. 

Just talk to us, we will gladly provide you with details or model contracts.

We at NIVUS make sure that you will always obtain the best possible results from your measurements. In our courses and trainings we teach you and your team how to always get the best out of your plant and how to utilise your resources as efficiently as possible. In order to prepare your staff for the perfect use of your measurement system, we offer expert courses and trainings for operators at various levels.

Training contents will be tailored to your needs if required and are designed to match your individual requirements and the previous knowledge of the participants. 

Examples taken from the everyday work of our experienced technicians, application-related tasks and covering theoretical basics have a particular role during the training.

Spacious training rooms in our headquarters in Eppingen are at your disposal as venues. Alternatively it is possible to organise training on site in your premises.

Even if using highest quality products and systems, it sometimes may be possible that an instrument needs to be returned to the manufacturer. In such cases or for inspection purposes we ask you to necessarily comply with some regulations. Protecting our employees and the environments as well as legal regulations require to have the proof of safety regarding the

This is to ensure that used devices returned to NIVUS have been decontaminated after contact with substances detrimental to human health and ecologically harmful media. A proof on the security level of the returned instrument is absolutely necessary.
