Energize the voltage and apply 120 VAC,
now energize the current and apply the

Energize the voltage and apply 120 VAC,
now energize the current and then apply the
necessary current to obtain the 500-watt

Adjust the "CAL" trimpot (located in the
PC5-007A lid) for a 1 VDC 0.001 V reading
at terminals 1 & 2.
With the voltage maintained at 120 VAC,

voltage such that the power reading goes
from 0 to 375 watts. Next, with the voltage
potential at 120 V and current adjusted for a
power reading of 375 watts, change the
power factor from unity to zero for both lead
and lag. Both current and voltage linearity
should be within 0.5% FS.

Since the PC5 has option A, the voltage
should be between 85 to 135 VAC because
the amplifier power supply uses the input
