  • Page 38: Fault Diagnosis

    PC. Mains-generated Interference It is recommended that the 5011 be operated from a clean AC mains power supply. It is strongly recommended that a filtered mains stabiliser is used. The effects of interference entering the 5011 are crashing of one of more of the many microcontrollers located inside the unit.

  • Page 39: Re-Calibration

    Revision 2206-1 Re-Calibration The 5011 should be re-calibrated at recommended intervals in order to ensure its outputs remain within specification. Normally re-calibration is done at 12 month intervals. The 5011 calibration software and manual are supplied separately and only available by request from Time Electronics.
