    If any of the ranges are a long way out it indicates that the 5075 might be faulty. Please refer to the Time Electronics example calibration certificate at the end of this document, for details of the allowed errors of the calibration adjustment points.
  • Page 5: Calibration Factors

    When calibration is complete, it is good practice to keep a written record of all the calibration factors for future reference. Should the 5075 lose its internal memory or the calibration factors become corrupted for any reason, it will be possible to re-enter them without having to go to length of a full re-calibration.

    The shield should be connected to the yellow guard terminal. If difficalties are being experianced and readings are unstable or not repeatable, please read the ‘Measurement Techniques’ chapter in the 5075 technical manual carefully.
  • Page 7: Calibration Procedure

    The 5075 is now ready to be re-calibrated as described below. 2.1 Calibration key The 5075 has a separate calibration key (referred to as Cal Key). It is plugged in a rear panel socket (near the GPIB switch). The calibration factors in the 5075 can not be modified or deleted without this key inserted.

    BNC cable is earth, as with the supplied HV cable a short flying lead connects the shield to the negative sense input socket. Refer to 5075 technical manual for connection advice on using the BNC input. Change range using the ‘ ’ and ‘ ’ arrow keys, select 3kV range.
  • Page 15 If a multifunction calibrator is not available which is capable of producing a 10kV and 3kV signal to calibrate the full scale of the 5075. A calibrator that can produce a accurate 1kV signal can be used. Hence a different process in this situation would need to be used to calibrate the 10kV and 3kV ranges.
