EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

NOTE

Minimum use specifications are the principal parameters required for performance of the

calibration, and are included to assist in the selection of alternate equipment, which may be used

at the discretion of the using laboratory. Satisfactory performance of alternate items shall be

verified prior to use. All applicable equipment must bear evidence of current calibration.

The instruments utilized in this procedure were selected from those known to be available at

Navy calibration facilities, and the listing by make or model number carries no implication of

preference, recommendation, or approval for use by other agencies. It is recognized that

equivalent equipment produced by other manufacturers may be capable of equally satisfactory

performance in this procedure.

PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS

3.1 Set all equipment controls as necessary to avoid damage to the equipment and so that dangerous voltages

will not be present on the terminals when the power switches are turned on, or when circuit test configurations are

being changed for further calibration tests.

3.2 Connect all auxiliary equipment to the appropriate power source, set all power switches on, and allow one

hour for the equipment to stabilize.

3.3 Set the autotransformer for 115V av output and connect equipment as shown in Figure 1.

3.4 Set the TI POWER switch to on.

CALIBRATION PROCESS

NOTE

Unless otherwise specified, verify the results of each test and take corrective action whenever

the test requirement is not met, before proceeding.

4.1 LINE REGULATION TEST

4.1.1 Set the TI control(s) for a 10V dc output, and adjust the differential voltmeter control(s) as required for a

reference null indication.

4.1.2 Adjust the autotransformer output voltage to 105V, and verify that the differential voltmeter indication is

10 V or less.

4.1.3 Adjust the autotransformer output voltage to 115V and reestablish a reference null on the differential

voltmeter.

4.1.4 Adjust the autotransformer output voltage to 125V, and verify that the differential voltmeter indication is

10 V or less.

4.1.5 Adjust the autotransformer output voltage to 115V, set the TI for a minimum output, and disconnect the

test configuration.

4.2 DC VOLTAGE RANGE TEST

4.2.1 Set the dc voltage standard controls as follows:

Power switch to STDBY/RESET

Voltage Range switch to 100

Voltage dials set for 100V output

Current Limit control as required

NAVAIR 17–20AQ–70

4.2.2 Set the reference divider controls as follows:

Input Voltage switch to 100

Output Voltage switch to 100

Standard Cell Voltage Dials to Calibrated Value of DC

Transfer Standard

4.2.3 Set the controls on both null detectors as follows:

Operate–zero switch to Zero

Range switch to 10 mV

4.2.4 Connect the equipment as shown in figure 2.

4.2.5 Set operate–zero switch of both null detectors I and II to OPR, then adjust the zero control of each null

detector to obtain a null indication on the 10 V range as follows:

NOTE

To isolate, offset, and/or minimize unwanted voltage pick up, mainly thermoelectric voltages,

which may contribute to false indications, the null detectors shall be zeroed in the

operate–condition.

4.2.5.1 Lift and connect each positive () or Hi terminal of each voltage source (TI, Fluke 731A, and 332A or

332B) to each of its output negative (–) or Lo terminal.

4.2.5.2 Set the reference divider standard cell circuit switch to locked.

4.2.5.3 Adjust the zero control of each null detector for a zero (null) indication; then, set the null detectors

operate–zero switch to zero.

equipment settings and switch the null detectors operate–zero switch to operate.

4.2.7.2 During each operation Null I”, set the DC voltage standard output voltage control(s) and/or adjust the

reference divider coarse and fine controls to obtain a null on the null detector I 10 V range; then, verify that the

null detector II indication is within the applicable tolerance limit listed.
