5.2.6 Normal calibration
The normal calibration procedure calibrates the preampli-
fier module and its power supply card as a unit. Since the
constants derived during the calibration process are stored
in NVRAM located on the power supply card, the pream-
plifier module should normally be used with the power
supply card that was used during calibration. (To inter-
change preamp modules and power supply cards without
recalibration, use the gain constants calibration method
discussed in paragraph 5.2.7.)
Normal calibration should be performed at least once a
year, or every 90 days to ensure the Model 1801 meets the
corresponding specifications.
NOTE
Proper calibration of the Model 1801
requires that the Model 2001 Multimeter
meets its stated specifications. See the
Model 2001 Calibration Manual for
information on performance verification
and calibration procedures for the
Model 2001.
The offset adjustments explained in
paragraph 5.2.5 must be performed
before calibrating the preamplifier.
Front panel calibration procedure
Follow the steps below to calibrate the Model 1801 from
the front panel:
1. Make sure the Model 1801 is properly installed and
enabled, as explained in Sections 2 and 3 of this
manual.
2. Connect the Model 1801, DC calibrator, and low-
thermal voltage divider, as shown in Figure 5-3. Be
sure that the preamplifier module is installed in the
thermal isolation enclosure, and that the lid is firmly
in place.
3. Turn on the Model 2001 and the calibrator, and allow
a two-hour warm-up period before continuing with
calibration.
4. Set the calibrator to the external sense mode, and lock
the unit on the 2.2V range.
5. Set the Model 262 polarity switch to the POS+
position.
6. Press the Model 2001 CHAN key, the instrument will
display the following:
CONFIGURE PREAMP
CONTROL
FILTER
CALIBRATION
7. Select CALIBRATION, then press ENTER. The
Model 2001 will then display the following:
PREAMP CAL MENU
CALIBRATION-DATES
CALIBRATE
8. Select CALIBRATE, then press ENTER. The instru-
ment will then prompt you to complete the precal
(offset adjustment) procedure before continuing:
PRECAL step must be
done before proceeding.
See paragraph 5.2.5 for details on performing the off-
set adjustment procedure.
9. Press ENTER, and note that the instrument prompts
you to set the calibrator output to 0V:
Set calibrator to 0V
Set the calibrator output to 0.0000V DC, put the unit
in operate, then press ENTER on the Model 2001.
10. The Model 2001 will then prompt you to set the
divider ratio of the Model 262 to 10
2
as follows:
Set 262 to 10^2
Set the Model 262 divider ratio to 10
2
and the +POS
position. Wait two minutes for thermal EMFs to set-
tle, then press ENTER to continue.
11. Next, the instrument will prompt you to set the
divider ratio to 10
3
.
Set 262 to 10^3
Set the Model 262 divider ratio to 10
3
, then press
ENTER.
