Calibration and Verification
Introduction
This section provides test and calibration procedures. The operation-verification tests comprise a short procedure to verify
that the unit is performing properly, without testing all specified parameters. After troubleshooting and repair of a defective
power supply you can usually verify proper operation with the turn-on checkout procedure in the Operating Manual.
Repairs to the A1 main board and the A2 control board can involve circuits which, although functional, may prevent the
unit from performing within specified limits. So, after A1 or A2 board repair, decide if recalibration and operation
verification tests are needed according to the faults you discover. Use the calibration procedure both to check repairs and
for regular maintenance.
When verifying the performance of this instrument as described in this chapter, check only those specifications for which a
performance test procedure is included.

Test Equipment Required

Table 2-1 lists the equipment required to perform the tests of this section. You can separately identify the equipment for
performance tests, calibration and troubleshooting using the USE column of the table.

Operation Verification Tests

To assure that the unit is performing properly, without testing all specified parameters, first perform the turn-on checkout
procedure in the Operating Manual. Then perform the following performance tests, in this section.
CV Load Effect
CC Load Effect

Calibration Procedure

Calibrate the unit twice per year and when required during repair. The following calibration procedures which follow
should be performed in the sequence given. Table 2-2 describes in detail these calibration procedures and lists the expected
results to which each adjustment must be made.
Note: Some of the calibration procedures for this instrument can be performed independently, and some
procedures must be performed together and/or in a prescribed order. If a procedure contains no references
to other procedures, you may assume that it can be performed independently.
To return a serviced unit to specifications as quickly as possible with minimal calibration, the technician
need only perform calibration procedures that affect the repaired circuit. Table 2-3 lists various power
supply circuits with calibration procedures that should be performed after those circuits are serviced.
