Calibration

Allow at least 5 minutes warm-up before commencing calibration.

Access to Calibration Adjustments

All adjustments are on the front panel control board; all the trimmers are adjusted from the reverse side of the board through holes in the board. To gain access to the board it is necessary to remove the top cover.

WARNING!

When the instrument is connected to its supply the removal of covers is likely to expose live parts. The instrument should be disconnected from all voltage sources before it is opened for any adjustment, replacement, maintenance or repair. Capacitors inside the power supply may still be charged even if the power supply has been disconnected from all voltage sources but will be safely discharged about 1 minute after switching off power.

Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened instrument under voltage shall be avoided as far as possible and, if inevitable, shall be carried out only by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved.

Remove the 6 side screws and two handle screws to release the top cover.

Component adjustment references are given as Channel A/ Channel B, e.g. VR5/VR105; Channel A is the left-hand output. For single output supplies use Channel A references.

Limits given are for 30V units; values in [ ] brackets are for 18V and 56V models respectively.

Control pcb calibration points (viewed from rear) Equipment Required

A 5½ digit multimeter with better than 0·05% accuracy on dc volts and better than 0·1% accuracy on dc current (to 5A); alternatively use a precision shunt for current measurement.

Use a rheostat or other high power load arrangement to provide up to 2A load at 30V [3A/18V,1A/56V].

Voltage Calibration

Connect the DMM (set to Volts) across the output. Set voltage and current controls to minimum. Switch output ON (Check LED is on) and check for a reading of 00·0V ± 0·1V on the Volts display and DMM; check the Amps display reads 0·00 ± 0·01A.

Set voltage and current controls to maximum. Adjust VR5/VR105 (maximum output volts) for a reading of 30·8 [18·3, 56·4] on the DMM. Adjust VR6/VR106 (measured output volts) until the Volts display matches the reading on the external DMM.

Switch output OFF. Adjust VR10/110 (preset volts) until the Volts display shows 30·8 [18·3, 56·4].
