    1404 Series 4.3 Calibration Procedure with GenRad 1620 or AH2500A/ AH2700A Capacitance Bridge To calibrate an 1404 unit, proceed as follows: 1. 1404 capacitors with bnc connectors should have the shield disconnected at the HI termi- nal to minimize stray capacitance. The shield on the LO terminal should be maintained.
