DC current accurately by using the null facility to back off the unknown current. Resolution of 1 μA is possible. Operation of the 1021 is fast and simple operation. The user needs to only to switch on, check the battery condition, select the range, and set the required current using the thumbwheel switches.

It is important to understand the voltage capability and the voltage limit indicator of the instrument to ensure that requirements are within limits. Under no circumstances must an additional voltage be connected in series with the output of the 1021 in an attempt to increase the voltage capability as this will cause damage to the output circuitry.
Time Electronics 1021 Milliamp Source User Manual Measurement of Current To measure mA, follow the steps below: 1. Power on the unit. 2. Check the battery level indicator on the top of the unit: Green: Ready for use. Red: Change or recharge batteries.
10 to 16 hours. The battery charging rate is such that the battery cannot be damaged by overcharging. It is not recommended that the 1021 be operated during battery recharge although output currents of a few milliamps at low compliance voltage can be obtained without discharging the batteries.
(several volts peak to peak) the output circuitry of the 1021 is overloaded by the noise signal and it converts it into a DC offset with results in an error in the output.
The standard recharger requires a mains input of 200 V to 240 V at 50/60 Hz. A recharger requiring 100V to 120V at 50/60 Hz is also available but should be specified when ordering. The recharger is connected to the 1021 by a miniature 2 pin plug and socket shaped to ensure correct polarity.
Fuses are rated at F1A (F1), and F250mA (F2), and have dimensions 20mm length by 5mm diameter. The fuses are available from Time Electronics Ltd or your local supplier. Repair NOTE: No repair work should be undertaken by the customer while the instrument is under warranty as such work may render the warranty invalid.
You should also ensure that the correct equipment is available before attempting recalibration. There are 2 ways the 1021 can be recalibrated: (a) The output current can be converted to a voltage by connecting a precision resistor across the output terminals.
The linearity of the output is determined by specially matched resistors mounted on the rear of the digit switches. The matching is done when the 1021 is manufactured. Under normal operating conditions the high performance of these resistors ensures that the 1021 linearity will remain within specification for the instrument’s lifetime.
Time Electronics’ total liability is limited to repair or replacement of the product. Note that if Time Electronics determine that the fault on a returned product has been caused by the user, we will contact the customer before proceeding with any repair.
