Refer to the General section for dismantling instructions and safety precautions. Normal
calibration is done without opening the instrument.
Allow 10 minute warm-up before commencing calibration.
Refer to the User Manual for detailed operation of these power supplies.
Equipment Required
A 5.5 digit multimeter with better than 0.02% accuracy on dc volts and better than 0.12%
accuracy on dc current (to 5A); alternatively use a precision shunt for current measurement.
Calibration
To enter calibration press
been repaired, the default calibration values should be loaded first by pressing
Pressing Escape at anytime will abort the calibration procedure and revert to the stored
calibration values.
Having entered calibration mode, follow the table below. To increment to the next step press OK.
The calibration must be done in sequence. At the end of calibration press OK to store the
calibration. The instrument automatically sets the range and settings at each step.
Use the spin-wheel to adjust calibration; holding down the
increments to speed up calibration. Pressing
On triple units (QL355T and QL355TP) calibrate both output 1 and output 2.
There are two internal adjustments which are factory set and will normally only require adjustment
if a component has been changed in the associated area. If this is so proceed as follows. VR1
and VR2 are both located near the top of the control pcb. They are accessible from both sides of
the board. Turn them both fully clockwise as viewed from the component side, fully anti-clockwise
as viewed from the solderside. Adjustment is done with the output set to off. Connect an ammeter
across the output terminals and adjust VR1 for +1mA. Remove ammeter and connect voltmeter
and adjust for VR2 –10mV. (minus or negative 10mV).
