Line Power; Recommended Test Equipment - Keithley 2430 Service Manual

Also, allow the test equipment to warm up for the minimum time specified by the manufactur-
er.

Line power

The Model 2430 requires a line voltage of 100 to 240V and a line frequency of 50 or 60Hz.
Verification tests must be performed within this range.

Recommended test equipment

Table 1-1 summarizes recommended verification equipment. You can use alternate equipment
as long as that equipment has specifications comparable to those listed in Table 1-1. Keep in mind,
however, that test equipment uncertainty will add to the uncertainty of each measurement. Gener-
ally, test equipment uncertainty should be at least four times better than corresponding Model 2430
specifications. Table 1-1 lists the specifications of the recommended test equipment, including
maximum allowable uncertainty for alternate test equipment (shown in parentheses).

Resistance Calibrator
Precision Resistor
1. 90-day, full-range accuracy specifications of ranges required for various measurement points.
2. 90-day, ±5°C specifications of nominal resistance values shown. Use actual values for tests. Maximum uncertainty of alter-
nate test equipment shown in parentheses.
3. Required for verification of 3A current range. Characterize resistor to ±300ppm or better using recommended DMM
before verifying 3A current measurement range.
