PiezoClamping Calibration Kit 2. Definitions and symbology 2.1. Definitions Electrical charge: Charge is the fundamental property of forms of matter that exhibit electrostatic attraction or repulsion in the presence of other matter. The unit for electric charge is the Coulomb (C). The Coulomb is defined as the quantity of charge that passes through the cross section of an electrical conductor carrying one ampere for one second.
Calibration Kit 3. Operation principle, nominal charges and uncertainty 3.1. Operation principle The operation principle of PiezoClamping Calibration Kit consists in charging a capacitor of 2.2 µF applying a selectable precision voltage and then discharge it to the PiezoClamping ...
Press and hold briefly to change the charge selection. [3] OUT/CHARGE toggle switch Switch the internal capacitor between “CHARGE” and the BNC connector “OUT”. [4] BNC connector “OUT” Connect the PiezoClamping here using a BNC- BNC cable. [5] LEDs Indicates the selected charge.
PiezoClamping Calibration Kit 6. Configuration and use This section describes how to configure and use the PiezoClamping Calibration Kit to calibrate the PiezoClamping equipment. Step-by-step procedure: Step 01 Turn the PiezoClamping equipment on. Then press [▲] or [▼] to access...

17.32 µC 22.00 µC ±5 % 20.90 µC 23.10 µC As the values measured by PiezoClamping are within Table 2 acceptance ranges, the PiezoClamping equipment is calibrated and no action is needed. If any the results were out of range, the PiezoClamping ...
PiezoClamping Calibration Kit 7. Battery charging Follow these steps to charge the PiezoClamping Calibration Kit battery: Step 01 Switch the Calibration Kit OFF using the toggle switch ON/OFF [1]. Step 02 Connect a smartphone charger (not included) to the USB charger entry [6] using the USB cable (B).
8. Troubleshooting Problem Possible cause Solution Move the toggle switch The ON/OFF toggle switch is to the “ON” position. The PiezoClamping on the “OFF” position. Calibration Kit does not Charge the battery (see turn on. The battery is depleted. topic 7).
If the equipment is defective or malfunctioning, check if the problem is related to any of those listed in topic 8 and follow the troubleshooting instructions. If the problem remains or is not listed in topic 8, please contact the ATCP Physical Engineering for further analysis and possible repairs.
