Calibration
Each new 1100R+ tester comes with a complimentary certificate of calibration. Cirris
recommends that the tester be recalibrated on a one-year interval. In the U.S.A. Cirris offers
complete calibration services in compliance with ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 and MIL-STD
45662A.
To verify calibration and functionality, you can purchase the
1100R+ Performance Check Kit.
The
1100R+ Performance Check Kit
has a valid calibration period of 5 years, after which it
must be replaced. In addition to the performance check kit, you need a calibrated volt meter and
high voltage probe capable of measuring the highest voltage the tester can output.
Note:
In the event a Cirris tester is found to be out of calibration, there are no adjustable
controls. The tester, or the affected portions, must be sent back to a Cirris facility for repair.
Adapters and Fixturing
The contacts on Cirris adapters, or other fixturing that mate to the device-under-test, may wear
due to repeated insertion cycles. Contact wear can result in higher connection resistances,
which increases the measured resistances for the tested device. For this reason Cirris
recommends customers evaluate the number of mating cycles and the cycle life of fixture
contacts to determine maintenance intervals for testing and/or replacing fixturing contacts. A
good way to check fixture contact resistance is to construct and use a shorting block. For more
information on creating shorting blocks, see
http://www.cirris.com/adapters/test-adapt.html.
Service
All Cirris testers are designed as modules for easy servicing. Should your Cirris tester require
service, as directed by Cirris support personnel, you may need to send the affected module or
the entire tester back to Cirris for repair. During the repair period, a loaner tester can be sent to
you if needed. You should not attempt to service any circuit board at the component level. All
component-level service should be performed by Cirris technicians.
Conditions for Operation
Your 1100R+ tester is intended to be used indoors at a temperature of 10°C (50°F) to 40°C
(104°F). Best performance can be obtained at a relative humidity less than 75%. Insulation
Resistance Measurements will degrade over 75% relative humidity. The unit can be mounted in
a ventilated compartment. Be sure not to block the vents on the back of the tester.

back of the tester.
Never apply live voltages to the test points or probe input of your Cirris tester. Power supplies
and other accessories not approved by Cirris may cause damage or present a hazard. If you
use a Cirris product in a manner not specified in this manual and the accompanying help system,
the protection provided by the product may be impaired.
