CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS
This paragraph provides
complete
sequential
calibration
instructions
for
this
instrument.
The
instructions
are
concise
and
are written
for the
experienced
electronics
technician or
field
engineer having
a
working knowledge
of
this
type
of instrumentation.
WAVETEK
maintains
a
factory
repair
department
for
those
customers not
possessing the necessary
test
equipment
or
personnel
to
maintain
this
type
of instrument.
If
an
instru-
ment
is
returned to the factory
for calibration or
repair, a
detailed
description
of the
specific
problem
should be
attached.
This
will
hasten
turnaround
time.

Following
the instructions
in
paragraph
4.1.2,
attach
the
Power
Supply Board
to
the
rear
plate of
the
instrument.
3.
Connect
ac
power
to the instrument,
and connect
the
voltmeter
leads to
TP1 (common)
and
TP2
(+15 V)
on
the
Power Supply
Board. See Figure 4-5
4.
Adjust
R21
for
a
reading of
-t15
Vdc ±20
mV
on
the
voltmeter.
5.
Check
the voltage
at
TP3
for
—15 Vdc ±50 mV;
at
TP4
for
+28
Vdc ±400
mV;
and
at
TPS
for
-28
Vdc
±400
mV.
6.
Replace
the
board and
the
dust
cover,
and
allow the
generator
to
warm
up
for at
least
1/2
hour
before
calibration.
