Average of ten (10) consecutive points taken 25 seconds apart, where the standard deviation of those points is < 0.05 W. The 1316 is intended for use as a primary standard. Measurement repeatability and uncertainties will vary among laboratories depending upon various factors, including ambient environment, user experience, and elapsed time since the most recent system calibration.

Optional 3-1/8” connector may increase transfer uncertainties if using with adaptors to calibrate non- 3-1/8” devices. Example based on optional equipment in a typical configuration (Air Cooled Orion Chiller, Preen AC source and Zimmer AC standard). Other options are available. 10kW Precision Calorimeter 1316-900 Revision AA...
Figure 1a: Model 1316 Precision Calorimeter (necessary optional items not shown) The model 1316 is a precision calorimeter that can provide highly accurate RF power measurements up to 10,000 W in the 50 Hz to 500 MHz frequency range, and is traceable to the...

The 1316 block diagram is shown in Figure 2a, 3a, and 4a. To begin, RF energy is converted to heat energy inside a RF load containing a circulating coolant flow. The heat energy is dissipated in the coolant, carrying this heat away in the coolant.
2. Inspect for damage that may have occurred during transit. Report any damaged items to the shipping agent. Retain and use the original packing material for reshipment if necessary. 3. Inspect the carton for the following items: Table 1: Packing List (1316 Calorimeter and 1316-388 Chiller will be installed in a rack) Item Part Number...

If shutdown occurs, the test will need restarted. Adaptive Fan Control The cooling fan on the 1316 chiller will cycle on/off as needed to maintain the chiller temperature. Fan cycling is normal operation and should not be cause for alarm.
RF answer in watts. Correction of Error Terms All of the error term parameters collected and analyzed by the 1316 are incorporated into four separate initialization files comprised of one file representing the actual reflection coefficient of...
To calibrate a RF device using the calorimeter, the calorimeter must first be calibrated against an AC power meter standard traceable to a governing authority i.e. NIST, etc. Configure the equipment setup and perform the calorimeter calibration as described above. 10kW Precision Calorimeter 1316-900 Revision AA...
Check all coolant lines are clear of obstructions. • Clean or replace any strainer element added between the chiller outlet and unit inlet. • Clean air inlet, air outlet/fan filters on the chiller using a vacuum. 10kW Precision Calorimeter 1316-900 Revision AA...
A load will naturally increase very slightly in resistance as the carbon film becomes oxidized with age but any significant jumps in value (> +/- .5 ohms annually) may be an indication of a potential pending failure. 10kW Precision Calorimeter 1316-900 Revision AA...
