  • Page 8: Description Of Controls

    Time Electronics 1030 MicroCal Voltage and Current Source User Manual Description of Controls Output Terminals Output Voltage and Current is available on two front panel terminals which are suitable for either wire compression or 4mm standard plug insertion. Polarity Switch Normal or reverse polarity is selected by a toggle switch.
  • Page 9: Operation

    Time Electronics 1030 MicroCal Voltage and Current Source User Manual Operation Voltage Ranges Suggested operation procedure is as follows: Select Off position on output switch. Turn on and select required range. Check battery level indicator for high enough reading, or when fitted, LED is Illuminated green (see Battery Replacement Section 6).
  • Page 10: Output Voltages Above 1 V

    Time Electronics 1030 MicroCal Voltage and Current Source User Manual Output Voltages above 1 V To use the 8V range, connect the supplied 1 kΩ resistor across the output terminals, and switch to the 10mA range. The 1030 will act as a voltage source, the output being adjusted with the 10-turn dial, with a scale of 1 volt per turn up to a maximum of about 8 volts with a good battery.
  • Page 11: Applications

    Time Electronics 1030 MicroCal Voltage and Current Source User Manual Applications Four Terminal Resistance Measurements Accurate measurements of low ohm values, such as P.R.T, can be performed by using the 1030 as a current source and measuring the voltage across the LOAD with a DVM.
  • Page 12: Thermocouple Simulation

    Time Electronics 1030 MicroCal Voltage and Current Source User Manual Thermocouple Simulation The 10mV range of the 1030 is ideal for simulation of all types of thermocouple. Just find the voltage required from the British Standard tables, (common values given below), and set up on the 1030’s dial.
  • Page 13: Battery Replacement And Recharging

    Time Electronics 1030 MicroCal Voltage and Current Source User Manual Battery Replacement and Recharging The battery capacity for rechargeable types is approx. 150 mAH, whereas non rechargeable types are approx. 500 mAH. The 1030 circuitry takes approximately 8 mA and will operate over a DC supply voltage range of 7-12 volts.
  • Page 14: Calibration

    Time Electronics 1030 MicroCal Voltage and Current Source User Manual Calibration The instrument is calibrated before it leaves the factory and the calibration controls will not normally require adjustment. If re-adjustment is considered necessary, and the trimmer range is found to be insufficient for recalibration, there is a fault with the instrument.
