4.1.1 Introduction The following information, provides the complete Calibration Adjustment procedure for the Fluke 433/434/435 Power Quality Analyzer (referred to as Analyzer). The Analyzer allows closed-case calibration using known reference sources. It measures the reference signals, calculates the correction factors, and stores the correction factors in RAM. After completing the calibration, the correction factors can be stored in FlashROM.
Power the Analyzer via the BC430 Battery Charger/Power Adapter 4.1.4 Equipment required for calibration The primary source instrument used in the calibration procedures for Fluke 433/434 is the Fluke 5500A; for Fluke 435 you must use the Fluke 5700A Calibrator because of its higher accuracy.
Press to leave the SETUP DATE menu. • Fluke 435: in the SETUP menu adjust the Current Clamp for Phase and Neutral to 1 mV/A, 400 A, 1:1. 3. Select the calibration mode. The Calibration Adjustment Procedure uses built-in calibration setups, that can be accessed in the calibration mode.

Fluke 433, 434, 435 Service Manual Cal Name Name of the selected calibration step, e.g. Warming Up (CL nnnn) Number of the calibration step Status (...) can be: After (re)entering this step, the calibration process is not started. IDLE (valid) The calibration data of this step are valid.
Calibration Adjustment 4.4 Contrast Calibration Adjustment 4.4 Contrast Calibration Adjustment After entering the calibration mode the display shows: WarmingUp (CL 0200):IDLE (valid) Do not press now! If you did, turn the Analyzer off and on, and enter the calibration mode again. Proceed as follows to adjust the maximum display darkness (CL 0100), the default contrast (CL 0110) , and the maximum display brightness (CL 0120).
Fluke 433, 434, 435 Service Manual Note: After having left calibration step CL 0120 in instruments with V01.00 software, the display contrast stays in the state as adjusted for maximum brightness. Because of this, menu visibility is insufficient. For instruments where this occurs it is recommended to save calibration data and exit as explained in Chapter 4.7.
Calibration Adjustment 4.6 Final Calibration 4.6 Final Calibration Before starting the final calibration you must have done the Warming Up (section 4.5)! The final calibration is simple and straightforward and consists of the following elements: - Offset adjustment of voltage and current inputs (0 V input signal). - Low voltage adjustment of voltage and current inputs (0.67 V rms, 50 Hz input signal).
Fluke 433, 434, 435 Service Manual 2. The display must show step CL 0300. If it does not, then press to select the first calibration step in Table 4- 3. Set the Calibrator output to source the signal 0 Hz, 0 V required for the calibration steps in Table 4-1.
