ACE with PIM Server
1. ACE PROCEDURE WITH PIM SERVER
A. Connect your PIM instrument to the PIM Server via USB (iBA and E-Series) or via Ethernet network for IQA.
B. For iQA’s, ensure they have the latest software Installed, are connected to the network via Ethernet and are running in Remote Control mode (from
the iQA front screen, select mode then select remote control mode). Ensure the IP address on the iQA is on
the same network as the computer running PIM Server. An address of 127.0.0.1 indicates no Ethernet IP address obtained.
C. Open the Kaelus PIM Server. Ensure you have internet connection on your PC running PIM Server. Ensure you have internet connection on your
PC running PIM-Server.
D. The calibration can only be performed in an environment between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius; between 68 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
E. Select device to apply ACE and click Extend Calibration button (ACE wizard will open).
F. Click quote button.
G. Wizard will guide you through how to connect the four calibration standards to your PIM instrument.
1. Clean connectors of the PIM Instrument and the calibration standard with the provided cleaning kit.
Note: Please ensure that RTF Modules, cables and adaptors are removed from the test port prior to calibration. Only the connector saver should
be attached to the test port during calibration. It is recommended that the connector saver is replaced if there are signs of wear and tear or the
calibration may fail.
2. Connect the calibration standard via USB with the PIM instrument.
A. IBA - connect USB cable of ACE to the iBA USB
B. iQA and SI - connect USB cable of ACE to PC or laptop
3. Connect the RF port of the calibration standard to the PIM Instrument; DO NOT ROTATE BODY OF
CALIBRATION STANDARD.
4. Torque the calibration standard with supplied torque wrench (25Nm).
5. Click on highlighted bar to start analyzing.
6. Repeat the same steps for all Green and all Black standards (two different Green and two different Black
Standards will need to be presented to the PIM instrument) for each port.
Once analyzing is completed, click “Calibrate” to proceed to calibration. The users credit card or account
will be charged with the quoted calibration fee.
