The user should become familiar with the dry-well calibrator and its parts:

5.1 Rear Panel

Figure 1 on page 13.

Power Cord - At the rear of the calibrator is the removable power cord inlet

that plugs into an IEC grounded socket.

Power Switch - The powerswitch is located on the power entry module

(PEM). The PEM also houses the fuses and the dual voltage selector.The PEM

and Heater VoltageSwitch (see below) allow the unit to be field switchable for

115 VAC(±10%) or 230 VAC(±10%) operation.

Heater VoltageSwitch - To be used only when changing the input voltage.

(See Section 6.3 for instructions on changing the input voltage.)

Note: The input voltage and heater voltage switch settings should always be the

same value.

Serial Port - A DB-9 male connector is present for interfacing the calibrator to

a computer or terminal with serial RS-232 communications.

Fan - The fan inside the calibrator runs continuously when the unit is being op-

erated to provide cooling for the instrument. It has two speeds, a slow speed for

control operation and a faster speed for rapid cooling.Slots at the top and
