Powering up the calibrator
After connecting line power, the calibrator can be switched on with the line power
switch above the mains inlet socket on the front panel.
The fan will start and the front panel display will illuminate indicating power. The
display will show a firmware version number and after a short delay, during which
time the processor performs a self-test of the instrument, the display will show an
output of
0.0000mV DC
.
The default start condition of the calibrator is as follows:
Output Status : Standby
Range : 100mV DC
Negative to Ground Enabled
Allow the calibrator to warm up for 20 minutes to obtain full accuracy; the fast start
feature of the calibrator will give approximately 90% of full specifications within 10
minutes. The calibrator has been designed to be powered up continuously and does
not need to be turned off when not in use.
If required, a control program (i.e. ProCal) can now be started on the computer; the
program will establish communication with the calibrator. If used with ProCal, the
stored value of the passive standards will be downloaded to the computer, and the
calibrator will indicate ‘ProCal Control’ on the screen when ProCal is started.
