Section 5. Calibration

Introduction

Adjustments to programming and readback accuracy for the power supply are made
using cover-off procedures which must be performed by a service technician.

WARNING
HIGH ENERGY AND HIGH VOLTAGE WARNING
Exercise caution when using and calibrating a power supply. High energy levels
can be stored at the output voltage terminals on a power supply in normal
operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on
the output and sense connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater
than 40 V. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time
after power is removed.
Follow established antistatic procedures.
Work at a bench with adequate room and support for the test unit and for all

equipment required.

To reduce shock hazard, use only an insulated, straight-bladed screwdriver when
calibrating trim potentiometers.
NEVER calibrate these units alone. Ensure that someone is present who can help
should an accident occur.
5 1/2-digit true RMS voltmeters (DVMs) (±0.05% accuracy) with test leads
Current shunt 1 mV/AMP (±0.25%) and connecting wire. The recommended
current ratings for the DC shunt and connecting wire must be at least 10%
greater than the power supply's output current rating. See also Table 2.4,
"Current Carrying Capacity for Load Wiring".
