]. The electronics self test will run and display the results. 

The electronics test runs eight sets of tests on various parts of the electronic modules. 

Table 6-1 describes these tests and the possible actions needed if a test fails. The 

pneumatics test runs nine tests on the pneumatics module.  

Table 6-1. Electronics Self Test 

Test 

Description 

Action on Failure 

Processor 

Tests the processor chip 

Replace processor board. 

Clock 

Tests the real time clock 

Replace processor board. 

Timer 

Tests the 10 ms interval timer 

Replace processor board. 

EEPROM 

Tests the nonvolatile memory 

Replace processor board. 

Oven 

Tests operation of the sensor oven 

Replace sensor assy. 
Allow oven to warm up. 

Removing the Calibrator’s Cover 

The Calibrator should be kept clean and completely assembled at all times. Operating the 

Calibrator without its cover affects the Calibrator’s thermal gradients and therefore may 

reduce precision. If it becomes necessary to remove the Calibrator’s cover, follow the 

instructions below. 

WX

 Warning 

The Calibrator should only be opened by qualified 
electrical/mechanical service technicians. Lethal voltages are 
present and exposed in the power supply and display. 

1.

 

Turn off the Calibrator and disconnect the power cord from the Calibrator. 

2.

 

Locate and unscrew the four screws that secure the cover to the back panel. 

3.

 

Place your hands near the middle of the cover and slide the cover towards the 

Calibrator’s back panel. 

4.

 

Lift up on the cover. With the cover removed, use typical electronic cleaning tools to 

remove any accumulated dust from inside the instrument. 

5.

 

Replace the cover before resuming operation. 

Moisture Filter 

The Bourdon tube sensor is hydroscopic. An external desiccant filter prevents 

introduction of moisture and is strongly recommended for high humidity areas. The filter 

should be replaced annually. The moisture filter is used with the reference port only 

(absolute only instruments do not need a moisture filter). 

Particle Filters 

Refer to Appendix A for air supply quality requirements. During normal operation, the 

Calibrator transfers gas both into and out of the device under test (DUT). When necessary, 

the user is expected to use and maintain an in-line disposable particle filter to protect the 

Calibrator’s pneumatics from any contamination that may exist in the DUT.
