As described in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard IEC 664, digital multi- meter measuring circuits (e.g., Keithley Models 175A, 199, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2010) are Installation Category II. All other instruments’ signal terminals are Installation Category I and must not be connect- ed to mains.
Page 6
To maintain protection from electric shock and fire, replacement components in mains circuits, including the power transformer, test leads, and input jacks, must be purchased from Keithley Instruments. Standard fuses, with applicable national safety approvals, may be used if the rating and type are the same. Other components that are not safety related may be purchased from other suppliers as long as they are equivalent to the original component.

A relative humidity of less than 70% unless otherwise noted. Warm-up period Allow the Model 2303 to warm up for at least one hour before conducting the verification procedures. If the unit has been subjected to temperature extremes (those outside the ranges stated above), allow additional time for the instrument’s internal temperature to stabilize.
Performance Verification Line power The Model 2303 requires a line voltage of 100 to 240V and a line frequency of 50 to 60Hz. Verification tests must be performed within this range. Recommended test equipment Table 1-1 summarizes recommended verification equipment. You can use alternate equip- ment as long as that equipment has specifications at least four times better than corresponding Model 2303, 2303B, or 2303-PJ specifications.
∆R is the change in resistance caused by heating.) Verification limits The verification limits stated in this section have been calculated using only the Model 2303 accuracy specifications, and they do not include test equipment uncertainty. If a particular mea- surement falls outside the allowable range, recalculate new limits based both on Model 2303 specifications and corresponding test equipment specifications.
When performing the verification procedures: • Make sure that the test equipment is properly warmed up and connected to the correct Model 2303 terminals on the rear panel. Also be sure the test equipment is set up for the proper function and range. •...
Verify output voltage accuracy for each of the voltages listed in Table 1-2. For each test point: • Set the Model 2303 output voltage to the indicated value. When setting the voltage, set the compliance current to 3A. • Allow the reading to settle.
When setting the voltage, set the compliance current to 3A. • Allow the reading to settle. • Verify that the actual Model 2303 voltage reading is within the limits given in the table. Table 1-3 Voltage readback accuracy limits...
Page 19
Verify compliance current accuracy for the currents listed in Table 1-4. For each test point: • Set the Model 2303 output voltage to 9V, and set the compliance current to the value being tested. • Note and record the digital multimeter voltage reading.
• Note that it may not be possible to set the output current to the exact value. In that case, set the current to the closest possible value, and modify reading limits accordingly. • Allow the reading to settle. • Verify that the actual Model 2303 current reading is within the limits given in the table.
With the power off, connect the digital multimeter and characterized 3kΩ resistor to the Model 2303 or 2303B OUTPUT SOURCE terminals, as shown in Figure 1-4. Be sure to observe proper polarity and connections (3kΩ resistor between SOURCE + and DMM INPUT HI;...

Verify 500mA range current readback accuracy for the currents listed in Table 1-7. For each test point: • Set the Model 2303-PJ output current to the correct value, as determined from the dig- ital multimeter voltage reading and 30Ω resistance value. Note that it may not be pos- sible to set the output current to the exact value.
488.98 to 491.02mA Digital voltmeter input accuracy Follow the steps below to verify that Model 2303, 2303B, and 2303-PJ digital voltmeter input accuracy is within specified limits. The test involves setting the voltage applied to the DVM input to accurate values and then verifying that the Model 2303 digital voltmeter input readings are within required limits.
• Set the voltage to the indicated value as measured by the digital multimeter. • Set compliance to 3A. • Allow the reading to settle. • Verify that the Model 2303 voltage reading is within the limits given in the table. Table 1-8 Digital voltmeter input accuracy limits...
Also, allow the test equipment to warm up for the minimum time specified by the manufacturer. Line power The Model 2303 requires a line voltage of 100 to 240V at line frequency of 50 to 60Hz. The instrument must be calibrated while operating from a line voltage within this range. Calibration considerations When performing the calibration procedures: •...

Calibration Reference Introduction This appendix contains detailed information on the various Model 2303, 2303B, and 2303-PJ remote calibration commands, calibration error messages, and methods to detect the end of each calibration step. Section 2 of this manual covers detailed calibration procedures.
The code parameter must be enclosed in single quotes. Example :CAL:PROT:CODE 'KI002303' Send default code of KI002303. :COUNT? (:CALibration:PROTected:COUNt?) Purpose To request the number of times the Model 2303 has been calibrated. Format :cal:prot:count? Response Number of times calibrated. Description The :COUNT? query may be used to determine the total number of times the Model 2303 has been calibrated.
Page 85
Calibration Reference Parameters <yyyy> = 1998 to 2097 <mm> = 1 to 12 <dd> = 1 to 31 Query :cal:prot:date? Response <yyyy> , <mm> , <dd> Description The :DATE command allows you to store the calibration date in instrument EEROM for future reference. You can read back the date from the instrument by using the :DATE? query.
Output current (1.9A) for 5A full-scale cal. :STEP5 <nrf> Calibrate output current limit using calculated current. :STEP6 <nrf> Calibrate 5A measurement range using calculated current. :STEP7 Output 5mA (500mA, Model 2303-PJ) nominal current. :STEP8 <nrf> Calibrate 5mA (500mA, Model 2303-PJ) measurement range using calculated current.
Several methods to detect calibration errors are discussed below. Reading the error queue As with other Model 2303 errors, any calibration errors will be reported in the error queue. Use the :SYST:ERR? query to read the error queue.
Calibration Reference B-7 Generating an SRQ on error To program the instrument to generate an IEEE-488 bus SRQ (Service Request) when an error occurs, send the following command: *SRE 4. This command will enable SRQ when the EAV bit is set. You can then read the status byte and error queue as outlined above to check for errors and to determine the exact nature of the error.
An IEEE-488 bus SRQ (service request) can be used to detect operation complete instead of repeatedly polling the Model 2303. To use this method, send both *ESE 1 and *SRE 32 to the instrument, then include the *OPC command at the end of each calibration command line, as covered above.
Introduction This appendix includes calibration programs written in BASIC to help you in calibrating the Models 2303/2303B or Model 2303-PJ. Refer to Section 2 for more details on calibration procedures, equipment, and connections. Appendix B covers calibration commands in detail.
Calibration Programs C-3 General program instructions With the power off, connect the Model 2303 and the digital multimeter to the IEEE-488 interface of the computer. Be sure to use shielded IEEE-488 cables for bus connections. Turn on the computer, the Model 2303, and the digital multimeter. Allow the Model 2303 and the multimeter to warm up for at least one hour before performing calibration.
