Operating Manual Safety Information The Model 511 has been designed, tested and supplied in a safe condition. The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of this instrument.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modifications. Use only the replacement fuse(s) listed in this manual. Return the unit to the Krohn-Hite Service Department to modify or repair the instrument to ensure that safety features are maintained.
Model 511 Operating Manual Specifications Prior to shipment, the Model 511 calibrators are calibrated and data is recorded to guarantee that the unit is operating with-in specifications. Output Specifications listed below are absolute accuracies and are traceability to N.I.S.T. Output Specifications The output uncertainty specifications apply after a one hour warm-up under standard reference conditions of 23ºC ±...
General Description and Specifications Secondary Performance Specifications Output Impedance: 10 µΩ. Line Regulation: ± (1ppm of range +1 µV) for a ± 10 % line fluctuation. Load Regulation: ± 1µV no load to full load. Settling Time: < than 100ms to settle to within 5ppm of final value. General Specifications Calibration Interval: 1 year for 10ppm accuracy.
Part No. EW511 provides an additional one year to the standard warranty 1-10 Options Rack Mount Kit: Part number RK-314 permits installation of the model 511 into a standard 19" rack. Rear Output Terminals: Option 003 provides both front and rear output terminals. Note that only one set of output terminals may be used at one time.
Section 2 Operation Introduction This section describes the basic operation of the Model 511. It includes the proper ac power requirements along with details of all operating modes and any special features. . ----- Warning ----- The chassis of this instrument is connected to ground. For safety purposes, connect the line cord to a grounded 3-terminal ac outlet.
Operating Manual Power Requirements The Model 511 is designed to operate from a single phase, 50-60Hz ac power source of 105V-132V or 210V-250V. The ac Power Entry Module, located on the rear panel, contains the main line fuse, an input line voltage selector, and an EMI filter. A detachable, 3-wire line cord is provided with the instrument.
2-4-2 Front Panel Indicators Power On Indicator: The Green led is on whenever the 511 is plugged into an AC power source and the power switch is in the on position. Decimal Point Indicators: A "floating" decimal point is illuminated by several yellow LEDs and properly locates the decimal point for the range indicated.
(100V, 120V, 220V or 240V). Notice that a pin will be in one of these holes, indicating the present voltage setting for the 511. If this setting does not match the voltage available at your site, then it must be changed before powering on the 511.

Operation Power Entry Module Set the 511 power switch to OFF. Unplug the power cord from the ac wall outlet and from the power cord receptacle on the power entry module. Refer to Figure 2-5 on the next page. Using a small flat blade screwdriver or similar tool inserted into the slot at the left edge of the cover, carefully pry the cover off the fuse cavity.

Operation Optional Output terminals 2-5-2 Optional Output Terminals Rear Panel Connections: A factory installed option, there are five terminals located on the rear panel. The configuration is the same as the front panel terminals. Figure 2.6 below shows the connections. NOTE: Only one set of output terminals may be used at one time.
Incoming Acceptance Introduction The following procedure should be used to verify that the Model 511 is operating properly. These checks may be used for incoming acceptance and periodic performance checks. Test should be made with the covers in place and after a one hour warm-up under standard reference conditions of 23ºC ±...
Perform your verification measurements in a test environment that has a stable ambient room temperature with a relative humidity of less than 70% unless noted otherwise. The Model 511 requires a power line voltage of 100V, 120V, 220V, 240V, ±10% with a line frequency of 50Hz to 400Hz Allow the minimum warm up time for all test equipment.
Connect the DC voltmeter to the sense and output junction on the Power Load Resistor box. Set the 511 to 4-wire mode and connect the load box to the 511 with two 2-wire twisted pair cables. The 511 sense and output terminals must be connected at the load box.

Model 511 Operating Manual Output Noise Test KH uses the following procedure to measure the noise levels of the voltage calibrator. Techniques are employed to minimize external ground loops and radiation paths that may introduce improper data into the desired measurements. "Rule of Thumb": If the measurement indicates more than 1 millivolt p-p of noise on any KH instrument, the operator should recheck his equipment, cables and connections.
Set the differential pre-amplifier upper frequency cutoff to100kHz and the lower cutoff to 0.1Hz. Set the model 511 “sense” switch to the “2-Wire” position and the output to zero. Connect the output of the pre-amplifier to the input of the true rms voltmeter. Observe that ripple and noise do not exceed specifications on each of the ranges.
