Calibration
Calibration is performed at the factory during testing. Recalibration should be performed
annually and following major repairs. Calibration should be done with the cover on, through
the access holes in the cover. See
Figure 4-1
below. Calibration on both the A1 and A2
assemblies is accomplished using multiturn trimpots. The list below gives the circuit designation
of the trimpot and the parameter affected by that part.
