Portable Surge Protective Device Tester

II. Calibration Steps of the Tester
Opened the back cover of the tester with a screwdriver, find the potentiometer R3, R14, R17 and R4 in corresponding to
the calibration functions.
Step 1. Calibrate the constant current of 1mA
Choose FUNCTION 2 to calibrate the stability of 1mA current(at current mode of a mutimeter)
Step 2. Calibrate the break-over voltage with R3
Choose FUNCTION 2 to calibrate the break-over voltage of MOV(at voltage mode of a mutimeter)
Step 3. Calibrate 75% of the break–over voltage with R14
Choose FUNCTION 2 to calibrate the 75% of break-over voltage(at voltage mode of a mutimeter)
Step 4. Calibrate the leakage current with R17
Choose FUNCTION 3 to calibrate the leakage current of MOV under 75% of break-over voltage (at voltage mode of a
mutimeter)
Step 5. Calibrate the breakdown voltage with R4
Choose FUNCTION 7 to calibrate the breakdown voltage of GDT(at voltage mode of a mutimeter)
Note:
R3, R14, R17 and R4 indicate potentiometers
(Open the back cover of an SPD tester with a screwdriver, the blue components in the following picture refer to
potentiometers R3, R14, R17 and R4)
