IM CA11E-02E <Page 1>

■ Calibration the Generation Feature

Operation procedure:

<1> Warm up the standard.
<2> Before turning on the power of the CA11E calibrator, connect it to the standard.
<3> Turn on the power of the instrument.
<4> Simultaneously press and hold the 

 keys (shown in the figure in the 

 

“Assignment of Keys for Calibration” section below) for about 2 seconds to enter  
the calibration mode.

<5> Select the generation range to calibrate using the MEASURE/SOURCE selection  

switch and range selection rotary switch. The display unit shows “CAL,” “SOURCE,”  
“ON,” “0,” and the lower limit.

<6> Read the output value of the CA11E using the standard (digital multimeter), and using  

the 

 adjustment keys adjust the CA11E so that the output value is set to the offset  

value. Then press and hold the 

 input determination (ENTER) key for about 1 second  

to fix the setting. 

 

After fixing the setting, the display unit reading changes to “CAL,” “SOURCE,” “ON,” 

 

“FS,” and a full scale of the range.

<7> Read the output value of the CA11E using the standard (digital multimeter), and using  

the  

 adjustment keys adjust the CA11E so that the output value is set to the full  

scale value. Then press and hold the 

 input determination (ENTER) key for about  

1 second to fix the setting.

 

After fixing the setting, the display unit shows “0 FS” blinking. Re-press and hold 

 

the 

 input determination (ENTER) key for about 1 second to write the calibration  

coefficients to the EEPROM of the instrument. 

 

(This overwrites the previous calibration coefficients.) 

 

When this is complete, the instrument returns to the status in Step 5.

<8> Repeat Steps 5 to 7 for each range to be calibrated.

To return to the previous step:

<9> To return to the previous step without fixing the setting, press and hold the 

 input  

cancellation key for about 1 second. 
Note that this is possible only before writing to the EEPROM.

To return to the nomal operation mode:

<10> Simultaneously press and hold the  

 keys (shown in the figure in the 

 

“Assignment of Keys for Calibration” section below) for about 2 seconds, or press  
the [POWER] key to turn off the power once and then press it again to turn it back on.

■ Calibration the Measurement Feature

Operation procedure:

<1> Warm up the standard.
<2> Before turning on the power of the CA11E calibrator, connect it to the standard.
<3> Turn on the power of the instrument.
<4> Simultaneously press and hold the 

 keys (shown in the figure in the 

 

“Assignment of Keys for Calibration” section below) for about 2 seconds to enter  
the calibration mode.

<5> Select the measurement range to calibrate using the MEASURE/SOURCE  

selection switch and range selection rotary switch. 
“CAL” and “MEASURE” appear and “FS” blinks on the display unit. 
(If a value nearly equivalent to full scale has been input, a measured value and  
“FS” appear.)

<6> Set up the standard in order to input the full scale value to the instrument. 

Wait until the reading stabilizes, then press and hold the 

 input determination  

(ENTER) key for about 1 second to fix the setting.

<7> After fixing the setting, “0” and “FS” indications on the display unit start blinking. 

 

Re-press and hold the  

  input determination (ENTER) key for about 1 second  

to write the calibration coefficients to the EEPROM of the instrument. 

 

(This overwrites the previous calibration coefficients.)

 

When this is complete, the instrument returns to the status in Step 5.

<8> Repeat Steps 5 to 7 for each range to be calibrated.

To return to the previous step:

<9> To return to the previous step without fixing the setting, press and hold the 

 input  

cancellation key for about 1 second. 
Note that this is possible only before writing to the EEPROM.

To return to the nomal operation mode:

<10> Simultaneously press and hold the 

 keys (shown in the figure in the 

 

“Assignment of Keys for Calibration” section below) for about 2 seconds, or press  
the [POWER] key to turn off the power once and then press it again to turn it back on.

■ Calibration Procedure

To maintain a high level of accuracy, it is recommended that the CA11E HANDY CAL 
 be calibrated

 

annually.  

The “Selecting the Standards” section below presents calibration methods using the  
recommended standards.
