4.4 Calibration
Calibration is performed at the factory during testing. Recalibration should be performed
annually and following major repairs. Calibration should be done with the cover on, through
the access holes in the cover. See Figure 4-1 below. Calibration on both the A1 and A2
assemblies is accomplished using multiturn trimpots. The list below gives the circuit designation
of the trimpot and the parameter affected by that part.
Circuit Designation Assembly Parameter Affected
R7 A2 Output Current Monitor Calibration
R46 A2 Output Current Monitor Offset
R47 A2 Current Control Circuit Offset
R48 A2 Output Current Range
R52 A2 Voltage Control Circuit Offset
R53 A2 Output Voltage Range
R18 A1 Front Panel Voltmeter Calibration
R15 A1 Front Panel Ammeter Calibration
Note: Consult the factory for full calibration requirements.
