National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Calibration should be performed on your Touch1 LV tester at least once a year. You should also check the calibration whenever you suspect the tester may not be operating properly.
Depending on your calibration system requirements, you may need to prepare a form to record the results of the calibration. At the end of this manual is a Touch1 LV Certificate of Calibration. If you use this form, make a photocopy so you can maintain the master for the next time you perform the calibration tests.
If during testing you want to cancel all remaining tests and see a summary of the test results so far, press Cancel • To print the results on a printer, press . Some tests have individual summary results Print you can also print. Touch1 LV Checkout Manual - Page 4...
Self Test When this test is selected, the Touch1 LV will perform ten passes of eleven major tests. These are the same tests performed automatically on power up. They test the basic functionality of the tester to see if it can perform reasonable measurements within specification.
5. To pass the test, all five buttons must be pressed before the timeout. To check the calibration, press all five buttons making sure a star is drawn where the screen is touched. Touch1 LV Checkout Manual - Page 6...
If the screen does not change when the probe is released from the test point(s), press The test will fail and a No Response. Failed Probe Test screen will be displayed. Touch1 LV Checkout Manual - Page 7...

The LV/HV Measurement Test checks the low voltage measurements. To pass the test, the Touch1 LV must measure the resistor’s value to +- 1% +-0.1 ohm. The Resistance Adapter included in the Performance Verification Kit is needed to perform this test.

The Capacitance and 4-Wire Test checks the Touch1 LV can accurately measure capacitance and perform a 4-Wire test. To pass the test, the Touch1 LV must measure the capacitor’s value to ±10% and the 4-Wire resistor to ±1% ±0.001 ohm. The Capacitance/4- Wire Adapter included in the Performance Verification Kit is needed to perform this test.
Install the Zero Ohm Adapter in the J1-J2 position as shown and then press 3. The Touch1 LV will perform the test and display either a Pass or Fail result for each portion of the test. A screen will then prompt you to remove the adapter and install it in the next “J”...

5. Remove the Zero Ohm Adapter and place it in the J3-J4 position as shown. 6. If the tester has any expansion boxes installed, continue testing the other scanners by moving the Zero Ohm Adapter to each of the “J” positions and running the test. Touch1 LV Checkout Manual - Page 11...

If any of the the individual scanner tests do not pass, the entire ScannerTest will fail. Results for two separate tests will be displayed for each scanner attached. Touch1 LV Checkout Manual - Page 12...

The summary will display FAILED for any failed tests. 2. To save the Test Summary results, you must either print them or copy them to paper by hand. If you have a printer connected to your Touch1 LV, you can print the Test Summary by pressing...
In other words, the insturment being used to measure the calibrated instrument must be at least four times as accurate as the calibrated instrument. Touch1 LV Checkout Manual - Page 14...

How does everyone know you had an instrument calibrated? The calibration certificate is the record of who, when, and by what equipment the instrument was calibrated. A Touch1 LV Certificate of Calibration, which you can photocopy for your calibration, is provided following this section.
