A high-performance portable multifunction calibrator with voltage, current, and resistance ranges. The 1017 combines precision with simple operation, making it suitable for use in the laboratory or field. Constructed in a compact and durable plastic case with a tilt stand/carry handle it takes up minimal bench space and is easily transportable.
Output polarity can be selected by a switch on the front panel. Power supply ......The 1017 can be powered continuously from a 230 V 50/60 Hz (110 V to order) main supply, or from the internal rechargeable NiMH battery pack.
To ensure complete reliability of the thumbwheel switch, double pole gold plated contacts are used for each position – even if a contact fails, the 1017 will continue to work correctly. Power Supply Description The power supply employed in the 1017 is a Time Electronics design type PU2.
Time Electronics 1017 DC Multifunction Calibrator User Manual Front Panel Controls 1 – Output Terminals. 2 – Case Terminal. 3 – Reverse / Off / Normal Switch. Selects the output polarity. 4 – Power On / Off Switch. Indication is shown by the Battery Level Indicator.
Operation Preparing for Use If using the 1017 unplugged from a mains supply, you must first check the battery level. The battery level is continuously monitored on a front panel LED indicator which also serves as a supply on-off indication. When green the unit is powered on and battery level is good. When red, the batteries need recharging.
Time Electronics 1017 DC Multifunction Calibrator User Manual Using the 1017 1. Set the correct function and range from the selection buttons. Ensure that the output polarity switch is ’OFF’ and that nothing is dialled up on the digit switch.
User Manual Thermal EMF's When using the 1017 to provide a precision voltage of less than 1mV, care must be taken to avoid Thermal EMF’s. These occur where temperature differences are present at the junctions of dissimilar metals, e.g. – A normal solder to copper junction has a thermal EMF of approximately 3 µV/°C.
The 1017 can be calibrated with a high accuracy D.M.M. with D.C. voltage, current and resistance ranges with a specification of at least 4 times greater than that of the 1017’s specifications. Calibration is best carried out on fully charged batteries without the mains supply connected to ensure that no mains supply interference takes any effect on the readings.
Time Electronics 1017 DC Multifunction Calibrator User Manual Calibrating the Full Scales After checking the zero settings you may then calibrate the full scales. Set the digit switch to ’999999’. Select 1 V range: Adjust the 1 V Full Scale with the ’CAL’ trimmer which is on the potted module.
