IR Voltage Calibration (IRV) 

 
Keep the setting on the Valhalla voltmeter at DC and 2kV range.  IR calibration is applicable to 
the Sentry 30 Plus instrument. 
 
Press [F1] = UP to go to 

Cal Step 5: ‘IRV 1kV Offset (50V)’

. 

Press [STOP] to return instrument to steady state. 
Press [START] to get offset value. 
Press [F1] = INC or [F2] = DEC until the Sentry Plus display reads the same as the voltmeter. 
Press [ENTER] to accept reading. 
Sentry Plus reverts to “IRV Offset” display (incorporating new cal value). 
 
Press [F1] = UP to go to 

Cal Step 6: ‘IRV 1kV Full (1kV)’

.  Change voltmeter range to 20kV. 

Press [STOP] to return instrument to steady state. 
Press [START] to get full value. 
Press [F1] = INC or [F2] = DEC until the Sentry Plus display reads the same as the voltmeter. 
Press [ENTER] to accept reading. 
Sentry Plus reverts to “IRV Full” display (incorporating new cal value).
